I feel like the TZP equipment isn't currently worth it to buy most of the time (120c price) and maybe the item could be reworked or buffed to make it more worth it.
Some ideas that could be implemented are:

  • Healing effect (although I feel it could overshadow the effects of vanilla TZP if made too powerful)
  • Longer duration/Higher capacity (even a small capacity buff could allow for more usage of the second stage of TZP, i think...)
  • Less/different penalties for usage (maybe more of a vignette effect for the visual impairment)
  • Recharge in orbit (so you don't have to buy multiple, although it might be necessary to balance this further)
  • Lower price (so it's more worth it to buy)
  • New effects (jump height, speed boost, etc)
  • Can sell empty canister for lower value than bought (so the empty canister doesn't just become useless)
  • Other stuff I forgot while writing the above...

There are currently a few mods that implement some of the changes above (TZPReworkedHealing, EnhancedTZP), but they don't seem to be maintained, have bugs or don't have config options for different effects.

Personally, I don't think it's worth giving buffs to it, but the ability to recharge or use it for a longer time sounds pretty good, because it is spent really quickly, and after that it absolutely loses its meaning.
The heal effect sounds pretty good, but I'm worried about whether it will be balanced and whether it will even make sense from the point of view of logic

Yeah, I also thought the recharge/capacity were the best options to change without warping the item too much. Altought maybe with the option to only recharge it in orbit. The higher capacity (maybe to around 24s - 28s) should maybe allow for usage of more stages or combinations of stages (3x heavy or 2x overdose + 1x light, etc). As i stated above, I am also worried the TZP would be used far more for healing than the normal effects if not balanced properly.
