; How does it increase?
* Every 5 minutes (50 turns) it will increase by one point.
* A character with the [[traits#Chemical Imbalance|chemical imbalance]] trait has a small chance each turn of becoming fatigued for a slow amount (''"You feel fatigued all of a sudden."'').
* Every 50 turns when having a common cold
* Occasionally when suffering a nicotine craving.
 
; How does it decrease?
* By [[sleep]]ing {{k|$}}.
* By consuming [[#Stim|stimulants]]
 
;Effects
Your character will sleep on his own if you don't make him sleep regularly:
* Fatigue >= 192: You'll be warned every 50 turns (''"You're feeling tired.  Press '$' to lie down for sleep."'') and will be prompted if in the middle of an activity (''"You're feeling tired."'')
* Fatigue 600: You'll be warned every 10 turns (''"You haven't slept in 2 days!"'')
* Fatigue 800: You'll be warned (''"Anywhere would be a good place to sleep..."'')
* Fatigue 1000: Your character will sleep on his own. Fatigue will be reduced by 10 (''"Surivor sleep now."'')
Default value: 0
 
== Scent ==
Default value: 500 | Min value: -- | Max value: --
 
Characters with the [[traits#Smelly|smelly]] trait will default to 800, and to 1200 with the [[Mutation#Very_Smelly|very smelly]] mutation.
 
It will always try to normalize itself to the default level.
<!-- Scent increases fast at first, and slows down as it approaches normal levels. Estimate it will take about norm_scent * 2 turns to go from 0 - norm_scent / 2. Without smelly trait this is about 1.5 hrs. Slows down significantly after. -->
 
Scent always surrounds the player's character, and will leave a trail when he moves. Without the pressence of the player the scent eventually dissappears.
 
The [[CBM:_Sensory#Scent Vision|scent vision]] bionic will allow you to visualize your scent.
<!--
; How does it increase?
* You probably don't want to do that, do you?
-->
 
; How does it decrease?
* Closed [[closed door|door]]s and [[window]]s will reduce the scent leaked outside
* [[Taped window|Taping windows]] will reduce the scent leaked outside even more
* Smoke (normal one, tear gas, toxic gas...) eliminates all the scent close to it, so use that to your advantage.
* Rain reduces scent by one point per turn
* The [[Olfactory Mask]] bionic can reduce your scent considerably
 
;Effects
Scent allows any creature able to smell to track player characters (check the creatures with the SMELLS flag in the [[enemies]] page).
 
== Health ==
Default value: 0 | Min value: -- | Max value: --
 
Determines the chances of a player's character to get a [[Low immunity diseases|common disease]].
 
You can increase this value by consuming items that increase health, such as [[vitamins]], [[Nyquil]] and [[Dayquil]]. On the other hand, there are items can lower this value when consumed, like [[methamphetamine]], [[heroin]], [[sugar]], [[bleach]]...essentially: chemicals, drugs, and junk food.
 
This value will increase and decrease by one point randomly each turn, although it tends to regulate itself towards zero.
 
If a character doesn't have the [[Influenza]] or the [[Common Cold]] there's a small chance that he will acquire them. This chance can be lowered with a high health, the [[traits#Disease Resistant|disease resistant]] trait, or completely negated with the [[Mutation#Disease_Immune|disease immune]] mutation.
 
== Moves ==
Default value: 100 | Min value: 25 | Max value: --
 
''Moves'', or ''move points'', or ''movement points'', determine the amount of actions you or any creature can perform in a [[turn]] (so, in six seconds).
 
''Speed'' determines how many move points you start with each turn.
 
''Base move cost'' is the final value where both speed and any possible modifier, be it positive or negative, is applied (such as [[traits]], [[encumbrance]], [[#stim|stim]] level, queued actions, etc).
 
Base move cost = Speed + Move modifiers
 
Therefore, your final move points can be greater or lower than your current speed.
 
Also, note that you'll always perform actions first, then unfriendly creatures and, finally, friendly ones.
 
;Performing Actions
 
Each action you perform during a turn reduces your available move points by the move cost of such action. Your turn will be over once you don't have any move points left. Any ongoing action will be paused and queued for the next turn.
 
Queued actions will be subtracted from the available move points of the next turn. Example: your base move cost is 100, and you perform an action that costs 110 points; you won't be able to finish the action this turn, so it will be queued to be finished the next turn, and the base move cost for that turn will be reduced by 10 (the extra moves that didn't fit in the previous turn).
 
Actions that take longer than one turn (refuelling vehicles, crafting, reading, sleeping, etc) can be interrupted at any time by pressing the wait ({{k|5}} or {{k|.}}) key.
 
;Running cost
 
When moving around (running) you consume as many move points as the movement cost of the current [[terrain type]] you're about to stand on is. You can check that cost in-game by {{k|e}}xamining the tile you want to move to.
 
;Display
{{igs|Spd |c_white}}{{igs|100 &nbsp;115|c_white}}
 
The speed will be {{igs|green|c_green}} if above 100 and {{igs|red|c_red}} if below that. Besides the speed value you'll find the move cost of your last action.
 
;Calculation
This value is calculated each turn, where the following bonus and penalties are applied:
 
;Penalties
* <u>Weight</u>: when the weight carried is 25% higher than the weight capacity
* <u>Pain</u>: when pain is higher than the potency of the consumed painkillers. This penalty is more severe if the difference is higher than 60
* <u>Painkillers</u>: when the potency of the consumed painkillers is 10 or higher than the pain. More severe if it's higher than 30.
* <u>Morale</u>: when morale bonus (morale level / 25) is below -10
* <u>Radiation</u>: when radiation is 20 or higher. 40 or higher increases the penalty further
* <u>Thirst</u>: when thirst is above 40
* <u>Hunger</u>: when hunger is above 100
* <u>Sunlight dependent mutation</u>: penalties relative to the current light level when not under sunlight
* <u>Cold blood mutation</u>: when temperature is below 60F
* {{spoiler|<u>Speed down artifact</u>: 20 penalty points}}
 
;Bonus
* <u>Morale</u>: when morale is higher than 100 there will be a bonus that can't be higher than 10.
* <u>Stimulants</u>: Based on the potency of all stimulants taken. It can't be higher than 40.
* <u>Quick trait</u>: gives a 10% bonus
* {{spoiler|<u>Speed up artifact</u>: 20 bonus points}}
 
Some [[diseases]] and status effects can also affect this value (usually negatively).
 
move points can't be below 25 in any case.
 
== Stim ==
Default value: 0 | Min value: -200 | Max value: 250
 
; How does it increase?
* By consuming stimulants (such as [[coffee]], [[cocaine]], [[Adderall]], [[energy drink]], etc).
* Each turn it will increase by 1 point if the current stim level is lower than 0.
 
; How does it decrease?
* Each turn it will lower by 1 point if the current stim level is higher than 0.
 
;Effects
Your [[#Moves|movement points]], dexterity, intelligence and perception will increase based on the combined intensity of the consumed stimulants. These effects are lowered if your stim level is already equal or greater than 30. The bonus to your movement points can't be greater than 40, in any case.
 
Your [[#Fatigue|fatigue]] will be reduced when consuming stimulants, the amount depending on the item's stim intensity. Your [[sleep]]iness will also be reduced when laying down to sleep, based on the current stim level. All this will allow you to stay awake for longer periods of time. If for some reason you want to sleep under this conditions you'll need to consume items that increase your fatigue first.
 
[[NPC]]s will fear players with stim levels greater than 20, which will, in turn, lower their trust. NPCs can also be affected by stimulants, if consumed.
 
You can die because of your stim level:
* From a heart attack if your stim level is greater than 250 (''"You have a sudden heart attack!"'').
* Of apnea if it's lower than -200 (''"Your breathing stops completely."'').
 
== Pain ==
Default value: 0
 
* Can decrease stats  if the  pain level is too high!
 
'''How does it increase?'''
 
* By taking damage from enemies
* Walking over certain tiles such as rubble or fire
* Diseases or conditions such as infected bite wounds
* Failed implanting of bionics
* Certain weather such as acid rain
_______________________________________________________________________________
 
'''How does it decrease?'''
 
* Waiting for it to go down (Taking painkillers speeds up this process)
* Using Bionics
 
(Certain mutations also speed up pain loss and resistance to pain)

=== Cash ===
* Cash represents your bank account balance from before the Cataclysm.
* It can't be used directly, but you can access your account via ATM machines, and charge a [[cash card]] for later use.
* Pre-Cataclysm money is a relic of the past and will not be accepted by many factions. Vending machines don't have that problem, but you need a pre-charged cash card to pay for the goods.

* Some traits may influence starting cash.


=== Oxygen ===
* Represents air in your lungs when diving underwater.
* Default value: 30 + 2 * [[Strength]]
* Oxygen reserve ticks down every turn unless you have [[gills]], or have [[oxygenator]] bionic installed (activates automatically, consumes power), or use air supply from a diving gear.
* When you run out of air you will be prompted to surface or swim to shore. If you won't you will suffer incremental torso damage until you die of suffocation.
* You will breathe air from your [[scuba tank]] or [[small scuba tank]] if you have them worn and activated. They have auto-regulators so you don't waste air.
* You will breathe air from your [[rebreather mask]]. It has to be active and supplied with a proper filter.
* [[Oxygen tank]] and its smaller version can't be used for that purpose. This is medical pure oxygen unfit for diving and the bottle doesn't have proper regulator to deliver it underwater.
* Asthma attack underwater depletes your oxygen.
* Shouting underwater depletes your oxygen.
