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

Weather

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

Path cost

Floors, buildings, items and plants add path cost. Where each path cost adds about 7.7% to the time it would take the pawn to traverse this tile unhindered. The move speed factor can therefore be calculated like this:

move speed factor = 1 / (1 + path cost * 0.077)

For terrain, flooring and things with a path cost of 20 or below, a pawn is slowed down every time they enter a tile with that thing. For things with a path cost of 25 or above continuing walking on a thing with a path cost of 25 or higher doesn't slow the pawn down again (even if it gets higher).[Fact check] Walking over an item on a workbench slows the pawn down again, items on shelves have no additional effect, however.

Below is a selection of some common values. Minified things have a path cost of 14.

You can see the path cost of every thing here.

Flooring and terrain

For flooring and terrain see the full list below. Note that pawns are slowed down continuously by terrain, but things on top of it with a path cost equal or below it, don't slow the pawn additionally.

      • Marsh, Shallow ocean water, Shallow water and Shallow moving water: ×30%
      • Marshy soil, Mud, Soft sand and Ice: ×48%
      • Sand: ×76%
      • Lichen-covered soil: ×81%
      • Soil, Stony soil, Rich soil: ×87%
    • Snow

      • Medium: ×62%
      • Thick: ×52%

    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.
