Consciousness
Consciousness, called Data Processing on mechanoids, and Sentience on entities, 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[edit]
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. |

Base Factors[edit]
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[edit]
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
