Was planning to upload this 6 hours ago but TH-cam had to break. Well, at least it exists now If you like a more in depth explanation, terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Health_regeneration and UpdateLifeRegen() in Player.cs is where you need to look
thats kinda why it says "improves life regeneration" if you're playing expert or master mode doesn't say that on normal or journey (unless you turn it up to expert/master)
fun fact: pre 1.4.4, if you sit in a chair with shiny stone and a few other regen buffs, you can sit still and tank basically every hit since your life regen is so massive that your hp will be back to full before the next tick of damage. I did this in a (vanilla) playthrough where i didn't use any weapons and i saw the life bar move so fast i thought i was playing modded or something
@DepySquid1397 after 1.4.4, they made it so if you get hit while on a chair, it knocks you off, removing the life regen multiplier you'd get from it, so you can't do it anymore
@@Man_Person_Best_Hero Couldn't you sit on the chair immediately after taking damage to still get the buff? Combining it with a dodging set might help as well
@@person8064 you'd have to constantly right click on the chair to get back on and if you take damage rapidly then you can't do it unless you pull off some TAS levels of magic (also another fellow person, good to see you)
@@sir_mooI think he meant that a lesser potion instantly heals for 50 HP, but you can't drink anymore for 60 seconds. So, if you do the maths, it would heal roughly 0.8 hp/sec.
Honestly the whole reason why I like this channel is because of the math, it makes it more interesting and shows the differences due to in depth it goes
I always thought that well fed increased life regeneration, rather than life regeneration being decreased without well fed. The more you know, I guess.
I'm over a year late, but I'm surprised nobody's pointed out the reference to Yrimir's "4 bosses in Room of Death" video at 3:40. That's a lot of effort put in for such a short background clip!
Didnt know that not being well fed halves natural regen(in expert+)! I always learn something new with these vids and thats what I love about them. Keep up the good work!
Bro this is crazy I never knew about the chair and the hambat and I've been playing for forever! Love the videos please keep making content like this, I love minmaxing terraria
what I do is setup the spawn with a couch (since on it you can be facing either left or right without getting off of it) with a tiny pool of honey using bubles so it doesn't spill all over the place resulting in quite a significant boost and due to my spawn also being the arena the campfire and heart lantern are also there helps get up to full hp a ton and curiously, this setup due to the flat area of the arena works perfectly against solar eclipse as melee if going with excalibur/true excalibur
4:31 I have something on my Calamity playthrough that talks something about "Removes Life regen penalty without well fed on expert" and i never knew what it meant, thanks!!!
so THATS why calamity so generously offers life regen ups in equips and armor. AND why so many of its bosses afflict debuffs. I have new appreciation for the crown jewel ignoring it now. Thanks for the info video, I've been kind of confused about life regen for a long time and didn't have the patience to sift through that wiki page (lol) so it's good to know about. I did know about the expert mode thing though - why dont they just make the food state it restores normal life regen rates?
During this video i was thinking "wait this is incorrect buffs are affected by multipliers i read the wiki article just recently." I checked the wiki and it was changed just the past few days. I check the history and see you are the one that made the corrections. Good on you for fixing misinformation. I thought buffs were worse than they are. I am confused about one thing though. According to the formula the sum of natural regeneration and buff regeneration is added and then divided by 2. Doesn't this mean that for example the band of regeneration does not grant 1 hp per second but 0.5?
really cool vid and gave me info i didnt know! Keep up the amazing work. just one question though- if multipliers only apply to natural life regen why didnt you put them right after?
You forgot to mention that moving vertically effects natural regen differently to moving horizontally. As does moving by hook or minecart. Oh! And that enemy knockback or other non-input forms of movement also apply the moving penalty. Man why is regen so needlessly complicated in this game. Just give a flat amount based on armour set and remove litteraly all other forms. Then you don't get the near invincibility the devs worry about so much. And that's the only reason it's so complicated too; relogic wanting to have their regen cake and eat it too. So siiiilly.
in my current hardcore master mode world i have my main loadout which is my primary class, and a second loadout solely for regening health when low. it's kitted out with crim armor, band of regen, charm of myths, shiny stone, spore sac, frozen shell, worm scarf, and putrid scent (drunk world). crim armor, a chair, a campfire and well fed rival a shiny stone without any buffs. it's so good. and then you have the frozen shell and worm scarf which give a total of 42 DR when below half HP, and putrid scent so i dont get bothered by mobs while retreating in case you're wondering why i dont nurse, i just dont like using the nurse, even in hardcore. feels a little cheap to me. plus i think it's cooler to dedicate a build solely to recovery
Luck is the percentage that a chance will increase or decrease. 0.2 luck=20% 0.6 luk=60% etc. How much the chance increases or decreases by is also to an extent random and understanding how this works is not feasible. Just give up on knowing more than that.

Better late than never
Random question: Do you play journey mode or classic modes more often?
Simple, it goes at the speed of light normally, but during boss fights it shuts down.
💀💀💀
Yes
yes
It's just like damage where you just 2 shot mini bosses but somehow only deal 5-7 damage on bosses.
@@Dumbface_Timelost called defense
"If you want life regeneration, don't get hit."
But Terrasteel, if I don't get hit how will I regenerate health?
Dodge
@@JimmyJacksOfficialif you don't get hit, you're at full health with no health to regenerate.
lol
Exactly what I thought! lmao
That's the fun part
I had no clue that not having well fed halves your regeneration of expert, wow
It's a good thing that I'm a buff addict
thats kinda why it says "improves life regeneration" if you're playing expert or master mode
doesn't say that on normal or journey (unless you turn it up to expert/master)
I didn't even knew expert increases regen stun

Does the cobalt shield stop you from getting knocked off?
@@RinnyThePrincess yes, it used to. But not anymore. Probably should've mentioned that in the original comment
To put this into perspective, the band of regen gives 1 hp/s while the lesser healing potion gives .83hp/s
Do you mean the regen potion?

Unless youre in classic mode lolol
Even though I already knew this, the way you explained it was simple, entertaining and informative. Another quality video!
Terrasteel is the best info TH-camr of terraria, making the most unique, helpful and qualityful content without clickbaits

These videos are always my favorites. Extremely helpful
Ahh, I remember the days where I would lie in bed (both in game and IRL) and facetank Legendary Moon Lord.
i couldnt have imagined a terraria youtuber recomending me food
I have went and reread the formulas on the wiki three times and couldn't comprehend it at all but I finally understood it because of this video
Thank you so much terrasteel! I had the wrong idea of how regen works in the game, but this video educated me on the topic

Internal R values are doubled, if you look at the table in the Technical details section it states Band of Regen is R+2

2500+ hours in, just learned chairs are essential for regen meta

Golem expert mode drop: I am speed... while standing
damn. never knew about expert well fed thing. gonna help me a lot.
Glad more people can learn about it now
Yeah, I once saw the Life Regen page in the Wiki...
It was way bigger than I thought 😅
Thanks for that!
I never knew well fed was so important in expert and master mode.
very informative! thanks terrasteel

You should make a video about the three spell books during early hardmode
"Get well-fed, nerd." -Terrasteel.
I know I've spent too much time reading the wiki when I already knew everything in a terrasteel video (including numbers)
in my current hardcore master mode world i have my main loadout which is my primary class, and a second loadout solely for regening health when low. it's kitted out with crim armor, band of regen, charm of myths, shiny stone, spore sac, frozen shell, worm scarf, and putrid scent (drunk world).
crim armor, a chair, a campfire and well fed rival a shiny stone without any buffs. it's so good. and then you have the frozen shell and worm scarf which give a total of 42 DR when below half HP, and putrid scent so i dont get bothered by mobs while retreating
in case you're wondering why i dont nurse, i just dont like using the nurse, even in hardcore. feels a little cheap to me. plus i think it's cooler to dedicate a build solely to recovery
Life regen is when you use life drain on 200 enemies and never die
thank you for making that video about bacon and pigronatas, burned all my 20 platinum on them but at least i got like 300 bacon in return
worth it
I dont know how to say it, but you are like a terraria physicist.
thx fo explaining
wiki says that honey increases by 1 hp/s, but also triples natural life regen. is this true?
What about the shiny stone that golem drops? Does that work differently?
2:03 call me crazy but these two clips look essentially the same to me. The bottom one is just consistently like 11hp behind the top one AFAICT
The difference isn't always 11hp, it slowly gains. But yes, it is a very slight difference.
@@Terraw oh i see it now. i was confused because you said it was a "substantial" increase which i took to mean "noticeable." but wow that is subtle
You forgot about golem...
Me who never uses buffs for bosses cause i dont want to grind for potions and food
there are a lot good potions that aren't requiring grinding lol
What about the shiny stone?
I know I'm almost a year late but where do you get the source code to read through?
You forgot the Shiny Stone and Crimson Armor
I still cant understand how the fuck luck works :(
Basically... more luck = good, basically free damage
Get this, luck good, bad luck bad
Luck is the percentage that a chance will increase or decrease. 0.2 luck=20% 0.6 luk=60% etc. How much the chance increases or decreases by is also to an extent random and understanding how this works is not feasible. Just give up on knowing more than that.
what's the point of life regen if you don't get hit at all
I’ve never been this early to a video
What about Shiny Stone?
What about shiny stone
obligatory "i dont play terraria much anymore but i love your videos" comment
fr though its really interesting keep it up ❤
i play terraria again and im watching all of these videos again
Same! My excuse is that I’m waiting for the next update to soon drop ^^
shiny stone?
Regeneration is a black box (TF2 reference)
So phill, is it?
I’ve learned this from gungnir
0:21 To the editor - U sure? 😅
"if you want life regen, don't get hit"
But you can't get regen without getting hit, what do?? :'(
Tldr: bleeding (debuff) doesn't do jack shit
so you are saying, YOU HAVE TO EAT?
1:07
;-; *sniff *sniff
Natural life regen is really not that good that you permanently keep a buff on for it
cool
ah yes math I needed in 8th grade
yo.
I'M THE 420TH LIKE! LETS GOO!

‽
My keybards brkened
This is along the lines of saying "My o key brke on my keybard"
So now I have to touch grass, touch water, get a life, AND get well fed?
