Consciousness

Consciousness 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/lethality thresholds. Any change in consciousness affects movement, production and social interaction.

Consciousness is called Data Processing on mechanoids.

At the time of writing, the maximum possible Consciousness capacity is 150% with a healthy pawn high on go-juice, luciferium and wake-up, and having used a neural supercharger.

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}[%]

In English, what this says is that 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 its value (1/2.25).

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%

Limits

If any of these conditions apply, the Consciousness can not be higher than the given value. Note that the it can still be lower.

• Beer (high) blackout: 10% max
• Luciferium withdrawal: 80% max
• Blood loss extreme: 10% max
• Anesthetic
  • Wearing off: 90% max
  • Woozy: 70% max
  • Sedated: 10% max
• Catatonic break: 10% max
• Psychic shock: 10% max
• Psychic coma: 10% max
• Brain shock: 10% max
• Toxic buildup extreme: 10% max
• Heart attack debilitating: 10% max
• Drug overdose
  • Minor: 50% max
  • Major: 10% max
• Malnutrition extreme: 10% max
• Heatstroke extreme: 10% max
• Hypothermia extreme: 10% max
• Hypothermic slowdown extreme: 10% max
• Infection extreme (advanced): 10% max
• Malaria extreme: 10% max
• Sleeping sickness extreme (advanced): 10% max
• Resurrection psychosis catatonic: 10% max

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
