We study Active Model B+, a scalar field theory extending the paradigmatic Model B for equilibrium coexistence through including terms that do not arise from an underlying free energy functional and thus break detailed balance. In the first part of the manuscript, we provide a pedagogical and self-contained introduction to one-loop dynamic renormalization. We then address the technical challenge of complex vertex functions through developing a symbolic computer algebra code that allows us to obtain the graphical corrections of model parameters. We argue that the additional terms of Active Model B+ imply the generation of, potentially relevant, higher-order terms; strongly restricting the parameter regime in which we can apply a perturbative renormalization scheme. Moreover, we elucidate the role of the cubic coefficient, which, in contrast to passive Model B, is incessantly generated by the new terms. Analyzing its behavior with and without field shift near the Wilson-Fisher fixed point, we find that additional fixed points in the one-loop flow equations are likely artifacts. Additionally, we characterize the renormalization flow of perturbatively accessible field theories derived from Active Model B+.
