Global Work Speed

Global Work Speed is a stat: A multiplier on someone's speed at doing any work. Its minimum allowed value is 30%. Its default value is 100%. It is effectively limited to 958.5%.

Formula[edit]

The default value is 100% which is first modified by the offsets and then by the factors.

Factors[edit]

Work frenzy inspiration: ×1.8
Neurosis pulse: ×1.5
Light:

Light	Factor	Graph
0%	×0.3
0% to 30%	0.8 + Light × 2 / 3
30% to 100%	×1

Pawns that are Blind, have the Lighting: Darklight preferred precept, or have the Dark vision gene are unaffected by this factor.

Slaves : ×0.85
Mechanoids : ×0.5
Children :

Age	Factor	Graph
4	×0.2
4 to 12	0.2 + (Age - 4) × 0.3 / 4
12	×0.8
12 to 18	0.8 + (Age - 12) × 0.2 / 6
18	×1

Effects[edit]

The following stats are scaled directly by Global Work Speed

Stat	Description
Animal Gather Speed	The speed at which this person milks, shears, and otherwise gathers resources from animals.
Butchery Speed	Speed at which this person butchers flesh creatures.
Construction Speed	Speed at which this person constructs and repairs buildings.
Cooking Speed	The speed at which this person cooks meals.
Deep Drilling Speed	A speed at which this person uses a deep drill to extract underground resources.
Drug Synthesis Speed	How fast this character synthesizes complex chemical drugs.
Entity Study Rate	The rate at which this person generates knowledge from studying unnatural entities.
General Labor Speed	The speed at which this person carries out general labor like making stone blocks, making chemfuel at a refinery, burning items, tailoring clothes, creating art, smithing armor and weapons or smelting slag. This stat applies both to activities that involve no skill, as well as those where the skill affects the quality of the product instead of the speed of production.
Hacking Speed	How fast this person can hack into computer terminals.
Mechanoid Shredding Speed	The speed at which this person can shred a mechanoid for resources.
Medical Operation Speed	The speed at which the character performs medical operations.
Medical Tend Speed	Speed at which the character tends to wounds and illnesses.
Mining Speed	A speed at which this person mines away walls.
Plant Work Speed	Speed at which this person sows and harvests plants.
Pruning Speed	A multiplier on how fast this person can prune a Gauranlen tree to maintain their connection with it. Pruning is more of a contemplative psychic task than a physical one, so health factors like vision are unimportant here.
Research Speed	How fast this person performs research and how quickly they can find things using scanning equipment.
Smelting Speed	The speed at which this person smelts things. Since smelting is dumb labor, smelting speed is not affected by any skill.
Smoothing Speed	A multiplier on the speed at which this person smooths rough stone floors and walls.

Example[edit]

To obtain the maximum Global Work Speed possible, we need a pawn that is:

An adult healthy pawn with the traits Industrious (+35%) and Very neurotic (+40%).
Has the Low gravity adapted gene while on space: +10%
On a Wake-up high: +50%
Affected by Work drive: +50%
Affected by a Work focus from dance/drum party: +20%
In range of a Frenzy inducer: +50%
Exposed to 30%+ light: x1
With a Work frenzy inspiration: ×1.8
And affected by a Neurosis pulse: ×1.5

Global Work Speed = (100% + 35% + 40% + 10% + 50% + 50% + 20% + 50%) * 100% * 180% * 150%

Global Work Speed = (355%) * 100% * 180% * 150%

Global Work Speed = 958.5%

Without DLC, the maximum Global Work Speed possible is achieved by:

An adult healthy pawn with the traits Industrious (+35%) and Very neurotic (+40%)
working on a tile with 30% or more light (x1)
On a Wake-up high (+50%)
and a Work frenzy inspiration (×1.8)

Global Work Speed = (100% + 35% + 40% + 50%) * 100% * 180%

Global Work Speed = (225%) * 100% * 180%

Global Work Speed = 405%

Version history[edit]
