| − | The "mean time between" Pyromaniac's random fire-starting sprees, as well as Gourmand's random food binges, is governed by a field called "randomMentalStateMtbDaysMoodCurve" in the XML. IN THEORY, this is a curve using the "SimpleCurve" code, scaling the mean number of days until next trait-induced mental state based on the pawn's mood. Now for a basic primer on SimpleCurve. SimpleCurve 'evaluates' a value-to-test (in this case the pawn's mood) and returns an answer-value. It evaluates differently depending on how many points (as in distinct <x,y> coordinates) it is given: | + | The "mean time between" Pyromaniac's random fire-starting sprees, as well as Gourmand's random food binges, is governed by a field called "randomMentalStateMtbDaysMoodCurve" in the XML.
