Editing Consciousness

[[Human]]s, [[animals]] and [[mechanoids]] all share the same unconscious and lethality thresholds. 

{{Hover title|Version/1.4.3580|At the time of writing}}, the maximum possible Consciousness capacity is [[Effective Maximum::1.7|170%]] with a healthy pawn high on [[go-juice]], [[luciferium]] and [[wake-up]], having used a [[neural supercharger]],{{IdeologyIcon}} with any level of [[pollution stimulus]] {{BiotechIcon}} and a [[Genes#Psychic bonding|psychic bond]] {{BiotechIcon}} with a pawn on the same map.

== Affected stats ==
Consciousness itself doesn't have any ''direct'' effect on a pawn's stats, however it does directly affect several other capacities which in turn affect most [[stat]]s a pawn has. Thus, when considering the effect of a consciousness change, the affected stats of those other capacities must be considered.

== Factors ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Painshock threshold and consciousness loss causesrs missing}}
=== Base Factors ===
''Consciousness'' is mainly affected by the following factors:
* [[Blood Pumping]]: [[Blood Pumping Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Pumping Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Breathing]]: [[Breathing Importance::0.2|20%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Breathing Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Blood filtration]]: [[Blood Filtration Importance::0.1|10%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Blood Filtration Limit::1|100%]] Max.
* [[Pain]]: The pain offset can be calculated as follows: 
: <code>IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%]</code>
<!-- Prior formula is incorrect.
: <code>IF {1.05 - (0.45 x Pain)}[%] < 100% THEN {1.05 - (0.45 x Pain [%])} ELSE 100% </code>
For example, it says that pain does not start until 11.1% (0.05 / 0.45), when in fact it starts at 10%, via the LerpDouble() function.
As another example, pain of exactly 55% will grant exactly a 20% consciousness penalty, but the prior formula say it would be -19.75% instead.
LerpDouble linearly interprets between two pairs of points.  In this case, pain between 0.1f (10%) and 1.0f (100%) is interpolated over the range 0f (0% penalty) and 0.4f (40% penalty).
The prior formula was also phrased as a *factor*, when in fact it is implemented as an offset (ie. 100% Pain, which is a 40% penalty, is -40% consciousness, not consciousness * 0.6)
-->
<!-- Same formula, as originally presented; harder to grok:
(IF -0.45 × Pain [%] + 1.05) < 100% THEN (-0.45 × Pain [%] + 1.05) ELSE 100%</code>
-->
::''Thus, minor levels of pain (10% or less) have no effect on Consciousness, while anything more than that starts to reduce consciousness at a little less than half (4/9) its value.''

:: ''More specifically, the pawn's consciousness is reduced at a rate of -1% for every 2.25% Pain above 10%, with a maximum penalty at 100% Pain of -40% Consciousness.''

=== Formula ===
The formula is as follows:
 '''Consciousness''' = ''IF'' (Base factors × Post factors + Offsets) < Limit ''THEN'' (Base factors × Post factors + Offsets) ''ELSE'' Limit

The ''Base factors'' can be calculated with the following formulas:
 '''Blood Pumping''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Blood Pumping < 1 ''THEN'' Blood Pumping ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.2
 '''Breathing''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Breathing < 1 ''THEN'' Breathing ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.2
 '''Blood Filtration''' = 1 + ({''IF'' Blood Filtration < 1 ''THEN'' Blood Filtration ''ELSE'' 1} - 1) × 0.1
 '''Pain''' = ''IF'' (-0.45 × Pain + 1.05) < 1 ''THEN'' (-0.45 × Pain + 1.05) ''ELSE'' 1
