So any checks that people are saying should rely on ATP level, would instead rely on the level of glucose/fat free. Since ATP is always maintained at a constant amount, with you speeding up the cellular respiration process if it starts to dip below equilibrium and slowing it down if it drops below equilibrium, I think ATP would make a good mechanic for measure cell health (this is what we had in the original concept, I believe). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/health-and-combat-overhaul/176)._
