Bio-Organic Transference - How exactly is the healing calculated?

Bio-orgo modules are supposed to give more healing for killing more powerful monsters, up to a maximum. How exactly is this healing calculated?

Hi,

At level 1, you receive 100 HP per mob killed in the room per Bio module, split between the heroes in the room.

For example in a room with 4 heroes and 2 Bio modules, each kill gives everyone (100 x 2) / 4 = 50 HP.

Thanks, but this isn't what I meant actually.

I mean, nowhere is there any mention of how the game calculates amount healed based on monster power. That part of the description is quite vague. What I would like to know is whether there is such a formula, or where I could find it in the game files.

You'd have to check the module xml files most likely to check that.

Okay, I just did that.

I got this: < SimulationModifierDescriptor TargetProperty="HPByKill" Operation="Addition" Value="100" />

Where might I find how the HPBYKill property works?

Hi,

I'm sorry, I forgot we added a coefficient in the final version!

We multiply HPByKill by the property DustLootProbability, which is between 0.1 and 1 (find the value for each monster in Simulation/SimulationDescriptors_Mob.xml).

For example, killing a Red Flying Necro gives 0.6 x 100 = 60 HP and killing an Elite Bulldozer Silic gives 1 x 100 = 100 HP.

Does it mean that hero skills increasing DustLootProbability form monsters also increase efficiency of Bio-Organic Transference? By the way, focusing on science and simultaneous use of Cooking on Gas and Dust Drainer (this combo gives you tons of Dust and probably is OP) is a sure way to turn the Easy game difficulty level into Very Easy.

Oh, cool, thanks for the reply Mysterarts.

In a similar vein as Vicarious's question, does the formula use the initial DustLootProbability in the Mob.xml file, or does it use an altered DustLootProbability that factors in variables such as floor number and hero skills?

It uses the current (= altered) DustLootProbability, so yes to your question Vicarious.

I must admit that is not very logical, but this is cool information to find good combos ^^

So Golgy with her good pickpocket has the best health regen... I knew there was a reason she was my favourite character!

This is huge. Thanks.

Edit: another question, then: how do the operations "multiplication" and "percent" work to alter the DustLootProbability?

Hi,

Here are the operation priorities:

Base Value

+ Addition / Subtraction

x Multiplication / Division

x (1 + Percent)

For example:

[CODE]

< SimulationModifierDescriptor TargetProperty="DustLootProbability" Operation="Addition" Value="0.5" />

< SimulationModifierDescriptor TargetProperty="DustLootProbability" Operation="Percent" Value="0.3" />

< SimulationModifierDescriptor TargetProperty="DustLootProbability" Operation="Multiplication" Value="2" />[/CODE]

DustLootProbability = ((1 + 0.5) x 2) x (1 + 0.3) = 3.9

Oh, cool.

What happens if the final DustLootProbability exceeds 1? Is that value used to calculate healing from bio-orgo modules as well? I'm guessing the chance to drop dust is hard-capped at 100% though, no dropping more than 1 dust a kill...right?

The value can exceed 1 and is used from bio-orgo modules without cap. And yes, this is just the probability (1.2 = 100%), not the amount of Dust (which is DustLootAmount).
