Consciousness

Consciousness, called Data Processing on mechanoids, is a pawn capacity: The state or quality of awareness. A pawn loses consciousness when this falls below 30%, and dies when this reaches 0%. Humans, animals and mechanoids all share the same unconscious and lethality thresholds.

At the time of writing, the maximum possible Consciousness capacity is 170% with a healthy pawn high on go-juice, luciferium and wake-up, having used a neural supercharger, with any level of pollution stimulus and a psychic bond 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 stats a pawn has. Thus, when considering the effect of a consciousness change, the affected stats of those other capacities must be considered.

Name	Type	Weight	Max	Description
Eating	Capacity	1	-	A character's ability to eat.
Manipulation	Capacity	1	-	How well a character can physically interact with objects. Directly affected by consciousness and arms/hands/fingers effectiveness.
Moving	Capacity	1	1	How well a character can move around. Directly affected by consciousness.
Talking	Capacity	1	-	A character's capacity of speech. Directly affected by consciousness.
Reading Speed	Stat	1		A multiplier on how fast this person can read.

Factors

Base Factors

Consciousness is mainly affected by the following factors:

• Blood Pumping: 20% importance, no allowed defect. 100% Max.
• Breathing: 20% importance, no allowed defect. 100% Max.
• Blood filtration: 10% importance, no allowed defect. 100% Max.
• Pain: The pain offset can be calculated as follows:

IF Pain[%] <= 10% THEN -0% ELSE -{(Pain-0.1)/2.25}[%]

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.

• Brain part efficiency: 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 100%).
  • Joywire: part efficiency offset −20%

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
