Managing Your Humanity and Preventing Cyberpsychosis

Understanding Humanity Capacity

Your character's tolerance for cybernetics is governed by the Humanity system. Your maximum cyberware capacity is directly tied to your vanilla progression: it equals exactly twice your current experience level. For example, if you are at level 15, your safe capacity limit is 30.

Whenever you install upgrades at an Operating Table, keep the combined load of your implants below this threshold. Gaining more experience levels allows you to safely equip additional high-grade augmentations, while losing levels can suddenly leave you over-augmented.

Symptoms of Cyberpsychosis

If you install too many cyberware parts and exceed your humanity limit, your character will enter cyberpsychosis. When this state sets in, severe psychological symptoms will distort your perception:

• Surrounding mobs will turn into shadowy figures, obscuring their true forms and making it difficult to assess threats.
• To prevent or recover from these symptoms, return to an Operating Table to remove excess implants until your total load drops back below twice your current experience level.
