Hidden stats

This page is not complete enough; please help if you can.

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.").

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!")

Display

Fatigue > 191	Tired
Fatigue > 383	Dead tired
Fatigue > 575	Exhausted

How does it increase?

Effects

Your character will sleep on his own if you don't make him sleep regularly:

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 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 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 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 and the actions they can take in that turn. The "move" score is incremented by your "speed" stat at the start of your turn. There are a few things that give you a lot of move, which allows you to take many actions before the monsters act at all, but then they all act.

Taking Actions

Actions decrement move and after each action move is checked for > 0. If move is not > 0 your turn is over and it goes to the next NPC. The turn sequence for NPCs works the same.

If your moves is 100 and you take an action turn is is checked to find your moves. If the action took 110 points your that puts you below 0 at -10 and then other NPCs take their actions and your turn begins by being incremented by your speed stat (100 for this example) up to 90 and you are free to take your next action.

Actions that take significantly more than a turn are stashed and they'll eat your moves and make you auto-pass until they're done or they are interrupted: reloading, refueling vehicles, crafting, reading, sleep.

Moving

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.

The moves are noted to the right of speed and show you the cost of your last action.

Example for 98 base move cost on a floor: Spd 100 98 the 98 is the move points you used to move one tile in a cardinal direction. Pressing wait . costs 2 move points in this example to reach 100 and end your turn.

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 potency of the consumed painkillers. This penalty is more severe if the difference is higher than 60
• Painkillers: when the potency 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 potency 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.

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 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 will be reduced when consuming stimulants, the amount depending on the item's stim intensity. Your sleepiness 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.

NPCs 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
