Stats that are as important as the default ones but are hidden for gameplay reasons.

The exact values aren't usually shown to the player, but their global effects on the character are displayed when needed (Thirsty, Tired, etc).

Hunger

Default value: 0 | Min value: -- | Max value: 6000

Display
Hunger < 0 Full
Hunger > 40 Hungry
Hunger > 80 Very hungry
Hunger > 300 Famished
Hunger > 1400 Near starving
Hunger > 2800 Starving!
How does it increase?
  • Every 5 minutes (50 turns) it will increase by one point.
  • A character with a Metabolic Interchange bionic and hunger below 100 will increase hunger by 2 each 5 turns.
  • A character with the chemical imbalance trait has a small chance each turn of becoming full for a slow amount ("You suddenly suddenly feel a little full.") or hungry ("You suddenly feel hungry.").
  • Eating food or drinking liquids that increase your hunger.
  • Vomiting will intrease it from 30 to 50 points
How does it decrease?
  • Eating food or drinking liquids that nourish you
  • Characters with the leaves mutation have a chance of reducing hunger by one point when in sunlight
  • Characters with the Expanded Digestive System bionic can reduce hunger even further when eating
Effects

Hunger levels above 100 will impact your speed negatively.

Eating beyond Full level can make you vomit, unless you have the gourmand trait.

You will stop eating automatically when your hunger level is below -20 (-60 for characters with gourmand trait) ("You can't finish it all!").

If you don't reduce your hunger regularly you can eventually die:

  • Hunger 3000: You'll be warned ("You haven't eaten in over a week!")
  • Hunger 4000: You'll be warned ("You are STARVING!")
  • Hunger 5000: You'll be warned ("Food...")
  • Hunger 6000: You die ("You have starved to death.")

Thirst

Default value: 0 | Min value: -- | Max value: 1200

Display
Thirst < 0 Slaked
Thirst > 40 Thirsty
Thirst > 80 Very thirsty
Thirst > 240 Dehydrated
Thirst > 520 Parched
How does it increase?
  • Every 5 minutes (50 turns) it will increase by one point.
  • A character with the chemical imbalance trait has a small chance each turn of becoming thirsty for a slow amount ("You suddenly feel thirsty.").
  • Eating food or drinking liquids that increase your thirst.
  • Vomiting will intrease it from 30 to 50 points
  • Every 300 turns when having the flu
  • When your body temperature is too high
How does it decrease?
  • Eating food or drinking liquids that quench you.
Effects

Thirst levels of Thirsty and above will impact your speed negatively.

You will stop drinking automatically when your thirst level is below -20 (-60 for characters with gourmand trait) ("You can't finish it all!").

If you don't reduce your thirst regularly you can eventually die:

  • Thirst 600: You'll be warned ("You haven't had anything to drink in 2 days!")
  • Thirst 800: You'll be warned ("You are THIRSTY!")
  • Thirst 1000: You'll be warned ("4 days... no water..")
  • Thirst 1200: You die ("You have died of dehydration.")

Fatigue

Default value: 0 | Min value: -- | Max value: 1000

Display
Fatigue > 191 Tired
Fatigue > 383 Dead tired
Fatigue > 575 Exhausted
How does it increase?
  • Every 5 minutes (50 turns) it will increase by one point.
  • A character with the 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?
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 smelly trait will default to 800, and to 1200 with the very smelly mutation.

It will always try to normalize itself to the default level.

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 scent vision bionic will allow you to visualize your scent.

How does it decrease?
  • Closed doors and windows will reduce the scent leaked outside
  • 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 advantadge.
  • 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 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, heroine, sugar, bleach, etc.

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 flu nor the common cold there's a small chance that he will acquire them. This chance can be lowered with a high health, the disease resistant trait, or completely negated with the disease immune mutation.

Moves

Default value: 100 | Min value: 25 | Max value: --

Moves, or movement points, or speed, determines the distance a creature can move in a given turn.

Each tile is composed by a given terrain type, which has a movement cost associated with it. Moving through it will cost as may movement points as the specified movement cost.

Display

Spd 100

The speed will be green if above 100 and red if below that.

Calculation

This value is calculated each turn, where the following bonus and penalties are applied:

Penalties
  • Weight: when the weight carried is 25% higher than the weight capacity
  • Pain: when pain is higher than the potence of the consumed painkillers. This penalty is more severe if the difference is higher than 60
  • Painkillers: when the potence of the consumed painkillers is 10 or higher than the pain. More severe if it's higher than 30.
  • Morale: when morale bonus (morale level / 25) is below -10
  • Radiation: when radiation is 20 or higher. 40 or higher increases the penalty further
  • Thirst: when thirst is above 40
  • Hunger: when hunger is above 100
  • Sunlight dependant mutation: penalties relative to the current light level when not under sunlight
  • Cold blood mutation: when temperature is below 60F
  • Speed down artifact: 20 penalty points
Bonus
  • Morale: when morale is higher than 100 there will be a bonus that can't be higher than 10.
  • Stimulants: Based on the potence of all stimulants taken. It can't be higher than 40.
  • Quick trait: gives a 10% bonus
  • Speed up artifact: 20 bonus points

Some diseases and status effects can also affect this value (usually negatively).

Movement points can't be below 25 in any case.
