The scaling affects any reward that makes sense to scale. Essentially, anything where the norm is to give out many of them. It affects faction, experience, points, etc. It doesn't affect things like items, though, which have no inherent way to scale.
There are caps on the minimum and maximum that a mission can scale to so you won't see missions dropping away to nothing.

(table based off average popularity group missions.. 40 orux or so)
ORUX EARNED < == > FACTION
0[orux] - 199(faction) --> Apprehensive
200[orux] - 399[faction] --> Indifferent
400[orux] - 1099[faction] --> Amiable
1100[orux] - 1699[faction] --> Kindly
1700[orux] - 2399[faction] --> Warmly
2400[orux] + --> Ally(faction)
These are the numbers that I have posted. I tracked many peoples orum progress and found these to be as accurate as you are going to get.
Higher orum missions are believed to give slightly better faction and bottomed out missions are believed to get slightly less. For this reason, someone who farmed nothing but 80 orux missions might hit ally at closer to 2200[orux] and someone who does nothing but 25 orux missions will hit it at closer to 2500[orux].
on average, 2 orux = 1 faction point, because to go from appre to indiff = 100 faction points, on average most players had 200 orux or so when reaching apprehensive.
2500(orux) / 25 = 100 missions to get to ally
bottomed out group tasks = 1200 / 100 = approx 12 FAC PTS
2200(orux) / 80 = 27.5 missions to ally
Topped out group tasks = 1200approx 43 FAC PTS
apprehensive to ally = approx 2400 orux, or 1200 fac pts, # of missions depends which ones you do !
conclusion:
the faction points you earn for a mission is the amount of orux divided by 2. if you are doing a mission for 50 orux, it is worth 25 faction points.
here is the faction table (note that this is different than the table at the top of this post, which displays how much orux you should have when you reach that faction level)
Quote:
Generic Faction Levels
-2000 to -751 ...scowls at you, ready to attack
-750 to -501 ...glares at you threateningly
-500 to -101 ...glowers at you dubiously
-100 to -1 ...looks your way apprehensively (100)
0 to 99 ...regards you indifferently (100)
100 to 499 ...judges you amiably (400)
500 to 749 ...kindly considers you (250)
750 to 1099 ...looks upon you warmly (350)
1100 to ~2000 ...Ally faction
TO GO FROM APP TO ALLY = 1200 FAC POINTS
BUT all this aside.. herb retrival is a Solo mission, and I Don't think the faction on solo missions ever changes? I did library heist a ton and each time it was exactly 10 faction points, i counted how many times it took to jump from each faction level and it checked out correctly. So unless they changed the way solo missions work when they nerfed library heist, this task should always give 10 faction points no matter how popular it is.
