How is humanity calculated?

[sostronk 334]

And what events effect it? I know that killing survivors is likely to lower your humanity, thats about it. But what are the ways that I can increase or decrease my humanity?

[SawseBawze 17]

killing bandits or healing others via Blood Transfusions, Morphine, Bandages, Etc.

If only they take into consider if i run someone over and break their legs. then patch them up but not give them morphine and follow them around for a bit my humanity would go up from that.

its to bad we dont get a point for every 100 zombie kills or something

Equation:

(Dicks Sucked) - (Faces Pounded) X (1.2) = Nobody knows

I noticed after a few minutes of playing I get +150 to humanity. But the only problem is my humanity is reset every time I log back in.

Ditto.

It's a fresh thing to alpha so I imagine there will be further additions and tweaks to it next major patch. Along with explanations on how the system will work.

It will era in a 'hero' status, as opposed to the 'bandit' one. Confirmed by Rocket in a live stream Machinma interview the other day.

Just wait, you'll see.

Pretty sure it's broken at the moment, some people have letters instead of numbers for their humanity.

Other than heartbeat when aiming at a bandit and possibly bandit skins, what does humanity even do?

Nothing atm. I presume there is some intent to use it as a balance component for PvP/PvE in the future.

Theres a hero skin aswell, but nothing more than that atm.
