Sight

Sight is a pawn capacity: How well a character can see. Sight affects most colonist stats, with varying impact, though its importance will depend on the pawn's role in the colony. Sight is capped at 100% for many stats, but some combat and medical skills are uncapped.

At the time of writing, the maximum possible Sight capacity in the core game is 250% with a healthy pawn high on go-juice and luciferium with two archotech eyes installed, while also being infected with sensory mechanites. With the Royalty DLC installed, it is possible to reach a Sight capacity of up to a maximum of 325% with the addition of the Focus psycast.

Effects

Sight has a number of unique interactions with other mechanics beyond the tradition effects on stats. Pawns with 0% Sight:

are not subject to the factor from low light levels on move speed or on global work speed.
will not receive the "Observed corpse" or "Witnessed ally's death" moodlets.^{[Other similar moodlets?]}
do not do not gain nor lose any opinion for any other pawn based on their beauty stat.
cannot recreate at a telescope, poker table, billiards table, hoopstone ring, or any type of television. They also cannot skygaze or view art for recreational purposes.

Factors

The following factors affect Sight.

Base factors

Eye efficiency. 100% importance, no allowed defect, no max.
- The game assigns 75% weight to the stronger eye and 25% weight to the weaker, so entirely losing a single eye reduces sight by 25% rather than 50%.
- Blindness: 0% part efficiency
- Cataract: 50% part efficiency. Results in -12.5% sight for the first eye affected, -37.5% for the second eye.
- Bionic eye: 125% part efficiency. Results in +18.75% sight for the first one installed, +6.25% for the second one.
- Archotech eye: 150% part efficiency. Results in +37.5% sight for the first one installed, +12.5% for the second one.

Example

(100% Base Sight + 37.5% 1st archotech eye + 12.5% 2nd archotech eye + 15% luciferium + 35% go-juice + 50% sensory mechanites) * 1.3 psycast Focus effect = 325%
