Move Speed is a stat: Speed of movement in cells per second (c/s). Its default value is 3. A default Human has a base movement speed of 4.6 c/s.

Factors

Offsets

First of all the following offsets are applied to the Move Speed Base value.

Factors

The following factors are applied after the Offsets.

External factors

The following factors do not show up in the pawn stat GUI and are applied after the Post factors.

      • Marsh, Shallow ocean water, Shallow water and Shallow moving water: ×30%
      • Marshy soil: ×46%
      • Mud, Soft sand and Ice: ×52%
      • Sand: ×76%
      • Lichen-covered soil: ×81%
      • Soil, Stony soil, Rich soil: ×87%

      • Rain and Foggy rain: ×90%
      • Rainy thunderstorm and Hard snow: ×80%

    Example

    Moving speed of a particular pawn can be calculated using the following formula:

    Move speed = (Base value + Offsets) × Factors × External factors
    

    Let us calculate how fast a human could possibly go. It would have the following values:

    Move speed = (4.6 c/s + 0.4 c/s + 0.4 c/s + 0.1 c/s) × (4.23 × 1.4) × 1 = 32.57 c/s
    
    1. Be aware that it is not possible to achieve this speed in a short time since the three hard drugs required to take have a 100% chance of causing a Minor Overdose and reducing Consciousness by 50%. 0.042 Overdose Severity is lost every hour so you would need to wait 1 to 6-hours between drugs.

    Notes

    Offsets, such as the speed decrease from gear or traits, occurs before multiplicative factors such as Moving. 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. Similarly, jogger-traited human moves at 5.00c/s for a difference of 0.40/s compared to baseline, but 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.
