About this mod
Survivalist Medic Perk is designed to replace the vanilla Medic perks to fit more in line with survival mode while still keeping the challenge intact. Each point into the perk will knock off 10 seconds to heal, with the last two levels increasing healing done by 50% and 100% respectively.

Non-survival healing speed is 5 seconds, so max rank ends at double that. I wanted to keep the healing bonus relatively low so as to still require multiple Stimpak uses for heavy damage and faster healing. This should keep you using Stimpaks relatively regularly since they now have an edge on food/water in that they'll outright get you healed faster than just drinking the water you'd need to afterwards anyway. I wanted to also add in an effect to lessen the thirst/hunger cost to make using them even more desirable but I couldn't figure out how, if you know please good god tell me.
Conflicts & Issues
Should be very little issues or conflicts. This exclusively edits the four medic perks, so anything touching those will obviously conflict. The biggest issue I foresee is that since healing calculations worked in a bit of a weird way I had to brute force the final healing values, so the end healing might not be perfectly correct, but vanilla isn't either. If you want to test this for yourself at different perk points or levels you can:
- Note your starting HP and your max HP
- Heal yourself - Note final HP
- use this basic formula to get a rough percentage healed: (Final HP - Starting HP)/Max HP
Another potential issue is that I didn't test this for non-survival! I have no idea what it'll do in vanilla, just probably not be very useful, but that'll be ground you'll have to tread on your own.
