What does it mean when the bar goes red when repairing a generator with team mates?

[SeeDee]

I dont remember it being like this. Normally the bar would only turn red if you were affected by thanatophobia or some kind of status that slows down your generator repair speed, and if you had multiple people on the 1 gen, the bar would turn yellow (i think).

But point is, why does the bar turn red when you have multiple people on a gen, even though the speed is increased???

It’s faster to repair one gen with 2 survivors, but slower overall due to how cooperative repairing works

Idk, I guess they changed it or something.

It means you currently have a penalty to repair speed as every survivor on a gen creates a 10% penalty to others. Prove thyself and toolboxes is the counter to this

That sucks. Leader was my favourite perk just because of how much faster you could repair gens with it.
So if no one is running prove thyself, do you repair a generator faster alone than if you were to have 4 people on a generator?

Basically, the more people the faster the repair. However, there is a minor penalty to each survivor's repair speed.

No, thats not how it works. You lose 10% per survivor, but then they are added together.

1 person on one generator = 100% repair speed
2 people on the same generator = 90% x2 = 180% repair speed
3 people on the same generator = 80% x3 = 240% repair speed
4 people on the smae generator = 70% x4 = 280% repair speed

Nope. So just think of it this way.

You work at 100% speed alone. Then say a meg runs along and jumps on the gen, The you and her will then both work at 90%. 2 people doing 90% is better than only 1 person doing 100%.

Prove Thyself got buffed recently so every person who is on the same gen as whoever is running it works 10% faster + the person with the perk get and extra 10% for every other survivor sharing the gen. So it cancels the teamwork penalty and makes the perk runner faster too. (Plus bonus BP)

Ah, this makes much more sense. Thanks for clearing that up

Oh i was just wondering why this
