Move Speed

Move Speed is a stat: Speed of movement in cells per second (c/s).

The base move speed of a human is 4.6 c/s. First of all this is mainly affected by:

Moving capacity: 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max. Note that injuries to body parts including legs, feet, and toes, all reducing the Moving capacity, which in turn reduces move speed. Similarly, Bad back and Frail conditions do also. Pain reduces Consciousness which in turn reducing Moving, and thus also Move speed.

Offsets

The following offsets affect Move Speed. They are applied after the Moving capacity.

Traits
- Jogger: Move speed +0.4 c/s
- Fast walker: Move speed +0.2 c/s
- Slowpoke: Move speed -0.2 c/s
Gear
- Plate armor: -0.80 c/s
- Flak vest: -0.12 c/s
- Flak pants: -0.12 c/s
- Flak jacket: -0.12 c/s
- Marine armor: -0.40 c/s
- Cataphract armor : -0.80 c/s

Factors

The following factors affect Move Speed. They are applied after the offsets.

Inspirations
- Go frenzy: x140%
Floors and Terrain
- Chest-deep moving water: x22%
- Marsh, Shallow ocean water, Shallow water and Shallow moving water: x30%
- Marshy soil: x46%
- Mud, Soft sand and Ice: x52%
- Sand: x76%
- Lichen-covered soil: x81%
- Soil, Stony soil, Rich soil, Rough stone and Rough-hewn stone: x87%
- Straw matting: x93%
Snow
- Thin: x76%
- Medium: x62%
- Thick: x52%
Weather
- Rain and Foggy rain: x90%
- Rainy thunderstorm and Hard snow: x80%
Light
- Up to x80% from light values of less than 0.3. Blind and darkness-preferring humans are unaffected.

Notes

The speed decrease from gear occurs before bonuses or maluses to the Movement capacity. i.e. (4.6-Speed Penalties) * Movement So while a normal human moves at 4.6c/s, and a human in a flak vest moves at 4.48c/s for a difference of -0.12c/s, a pawn with 2 archotech legs would move at 6.9c/s while the same pawn in a flak vest would move at 6.72c/s for a difference of -0.18c/s.

The speed increases and decrease from traits occurs before bonuses or maluses to the Movement capacity. i.e. (4.6-Speed Penalties) * Movement So while a normal human moves at 4.6c/s, and a jogger human moves at 5.00c/s for a difference of 0.40/s, a pawn with 2 archotech legs would move at 6.9c/s while the same pawn as a jogger would move at 7.50c/s for a difference of +0.60c/s.
