Geneclinics Rebalanced (Healthcare++ Lite)

Description
Makes healthcare great again by buffing the amenities provided by medical workers and adding 5% (Tier 1)/10% (Tier 2) happiness on planets with a clinic. Medical workers also produce +2,5% habitability, for a total of 10 % at 4 medical workers/Tier 2 clinic. That's it.

If you want a mod that aims to do more and will be updated more frequently, check out Healthcare++ ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2326074604 ).

Since this mod adds no additional content it works in every language supported by paradox, such as english, german, russian, polish, simplified chinese, spanish and french.

If you wonder why medical workers need a buff - basically, it takes more than 100 years for them to produce a pop. If you take into consideration that they didn't work in those years, require upkeep and a building slot, one could argue that the amount of time it takes for them to pay for themselves is somewhere between 500 years and never, depending on how you calculate it. <- pre 3.0. After 3.0, they are completely useless after the midgame in regards to popgrowth.

Breaks Metallurgist and Artificer jobs.

Yeah, I'll keep using the full mod until my current game ends. Thanks for updating this one, though.

I just updated the mod, although if you have a save where you play with healthcare++ you might want to keep it that way for now - if there's an empire using any of the added civics or buildings, that reference will be missing if you "downgrade" to this mod and i doubt the game is going to like it.

That sounds good.

@Peter34 i was thinking +5% happiness on the tier 2 building and then +2,5% habitability per medical worker, so it's 5% hab tier 1 and 10 % tier 2 at full employment. How do you feel about these numbers? Or would starting at 5 % happiness, then upgrading to 10% happiness on the tier 2 building feel okay (not too strong)?

Not sure if i can apply the happiness only to bio pops, but at the very least the habitability is only relevant to them.

I've long liked the idea of Gene/Cyto Clinics giving Happiness instead of Stability (ideally only to biological POPs, including Bio-Trophies, but not to Droids/Synths), but I think you need to be consistent with the tier-1 Clinic and the tier-2 Clinic giving the same kinds of bonuses.

@Peter34 absolutely, they are not a bad amenities job, but they are not much else in 3.0 and i don't know how to change that without major reworks (and this should be a small balance change, after all). But given that you're literally 5 % of the userbase of this mod i'm going to update this mod today and if anyone wants to use it with 2.8.x i'll provide a download.

How would you feel if i turned the 10 stability at tier 2 into 10% habitability and 5% happiness? I think at flat 10 stability it's too much of a nobrainer in some situations. With this change it would be better in some situations, but worse in others.

Your mod makes Health Workers give 40% more Amenities, 7 instead of 5, and also +5 Stablity for the tier-1 Clinic or +10 Stability for the tier-2 Clinic. That's a fairly significant buff, on top of the bonus to POP Growth speed.

Right now I'm using the bigger version of this mod with 3.0.2, but I'd honestly prefer using this "Lite" version that doesn't add all the other stuff.

@Peter34 as you have noticed, i have already updated all my other mods. I am honestly unsure about updating this one, because to me, currently, medical workers seem utterly useless in regards to growing pops in 3.0.

I don't think the relatively minor change in this mod gives them a purpose/niche, i don't want them to just be an efficient amenities job and nothing else. If you have a solution that feels good from a balance & roleplay standpoint, i'll consider it, in the meantime i'll leave this as is for the people who want to stay on 2.8

Will you update this mod to 3.0?
