Talk:Monocyte Breeder

Does anyone know the console code for this implant? i want to remove it for my character thanks

the health regen is just too slow for hardcore mode in my opinion. in a non-hardcore mode game im sure its nice to be able to wait and just regen health instead of using stim-packs, but in hardcore mode that just means you will consume food and water instead just trading one thing for another.

i suppose if you have the endurance points and caps to spare, why not get it, but i wouldnt gimp myself in order to pick this up.

Regeneration Rate
So even if you sleep for ten hours (Ten seconds in real world time) You regain only 1-2 HP? This only seems really useful in Hardcore Mode.


 * No, you heal for the amount of seconds contained in these in-game hours divided by 10. I think a minute in game is one real world second. You'll heal for 60 hp.--DrMGinius 21:07, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Cumulative Effect
Assuming I've done all of the math right it takes approximately 24.5 game hours for a Level 30 character with 10 Endurance to fully heal their HP.

I managed to cut that time in half by getting the solar powered perk.

Against the Cloud
How well does the healing rate of this thing counter the effects of the Cloud in Hardcore Mode? Like, say you have 300 HP, and stand outside anywhere in the Dead Money area without the perk, how long does it take to die, and much time does this perk give you when you do have it?

I've been wondering this myself. User:Phalanx300 22:05, Febuary 3, 2011 (UTC)

i created a new charachter just to add this perk and face dead money again. here's what i learnd. the perk does not negate the effect of the cloud, althought it reduces the amount of health you lose during the wandering. i was still able to see the health bar incrising from time to time, but no joy here, it usually drecreased in the following second as effect of the cloud. it helps A LOT to avoid facing ghost people with only a small percentage of health. so it1s really usseful since stims are pretty scarce. but one should no rely only on the perk to go thru dead money. since you are always losing health and looting is an issue since you cant't carry everything you want i suggest having the perk and consuming every single bit of food, water and the like you find in the villa and it's subdivisions. it helps saving the stims for the ghost people.

Conflicts with Solar Powered Perk?
Does anyone know what happens if you have both this perk and the solar powered perk? Do they add, average, or cancel out?

Healing to Wait Time Ratio
If you just stand around you gain 1 HP every 5 seconds of real-time, and after 60 seconds of real-time you gain 12 HP.

If you use the wait menu and choose to wait for one in-game hour you will regain 12 HP. By wait I don't mean just standing there, I mean selecting to wait for one in-game hour in the wait menu, which takes about one second in real-time. At 305 HP, I just wait for a little over 24 in-game hours, which takes 24 seconds. Totally worth it :)

1 HP every 5 seconds?
1 HP every 5 seconds is incorrect. I just tested this myself. It doesn't take a genius to test it either. So how did someone come up with 1 HP every 5 seconds. Was it changed in a patch maybe. I grabbed a stop watch, took the implant and just left my character stand there for 60 seconds... I gained 6 HP. That's equal to 1 HP every 10 seconds. Further down the page it says "Waiting 1 minute in game will restore 12 HP." It should say "Waiting 1 HOUR in-game will restore 12 HP." I'm not going to change it until someone else agrees with me. My edits always get undone. Timzamp 18:27, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

GECK says 1 per 10 seconds: scn ImplantRegenScript

float MicroRegen

begin ScriptEffectUpdate set MicroRegen to ScriptEffectElapsedSeconds / 10 RestoreAv Health MicroRegen end

Problem with Phoenix Monocyte Breeder
If anyone can help, my character does not heal in Dead Money even though I have the regenerating implant and I'm playing on Very Easy non hardcore mode. When I sleep it heals by obvious default so I can't tell... Since there is no where safe to wait except indoor areas that have a door that causes a loading area screen my health never regenerates while I wait in real time(not using the wait option back button)ThorTheDefender 22:09, October 12, 2011 (UTC)ThorTheDefender

The same thing started happening when I installed "Old World Blues" even if I use the back button. Rynocerator 00:30, October 24, 2011
