Mod still works with v1.0.

this should be in the base game great mod!

Supposedly, but it's kind of funky. You can be in combat and attacking things, but it still takes a couple turns without taking damage to kick in. Mind you, I didn't change how that behaves at all, it's like that by default. I considered making it a constant tick of healing every turn but I think how it is currently works well, good for quick resets instead of just face tanking.

Doesn't regen allow you to continuously regenerate while you're in combat?

Yeah, vanilla regen is pretty much just a newbie trap or for those who really don't want to deal with diseases. But now we can enjoy what regeneration was always meant to be.

Honestly, this should be in the base game. Vanilla regeneration is very weak for costing 4 points. Even the beak mutation seemed more useful to me and that was a 1 cost mutation. This mod actually makes investing into regeneration worth it.

Note that this also buffs regeneration for enemies, but it nearly doesn't matter since the most notable enemy with regeneration is the chrome pyramid and the EMP status is not affected by regeneration. As long as you don't stop damaging them for several rounds, regen will not do much for them.
