Stat

A stat or stats, short for statistic, are numerical values that provide information about the properties and behavior of a pawn or item. Basic examples of stats include age, move speed and Melee DPS.

Some stats are be static throughout the life of a pawn, such as race or flammability. Other stats change constantly as the result of real-time mathematical equations involving the pawn's environment, skills, and capacities, such as Plant Harvest Yield or Hunting Stealth.

A pawn or item's stats can be viewed in a pop-up window by clicking on the View Information icon in the upper right corner of the inspect pane (right beneath the Health tab button for humans.)

Stat Name	Description
Addictiveness	The chance of addiction per dose of a drug.
Aiming Time	How long it takes to shoot after choosing a target.
Animal Gather Speed	The speed at which this person milks, shears, and otherwise gathers resources from animals.
Animal Gather Yield	The percentage yield someone receives when they shear, milk, or otherwise gather resources from a living animal. Higher percentages reduce the chance of wasting the product.
Armor - Blunt	The protection given against blunt damage like fists, club impacts and rock falls. Upon taking damage, first this armor rating is reduced by the attack's armor penetration value. The remaining armor rating is then compared against a random number from 0 to 100. If the random number is under half the armor rating, the damage deflects harmlessly. If the random number is over half the armor rating, but not higher than the armor rating, the damage is reduced by half and changed to blunt. If the random number is greater than the armor rating, the armor has no effect. For example, at 90% armor rating against an attack with 10% armor penetration, there is a 40% chance of deflecting the attack harmlessly, and a 40% chance of mitigating the damage. Each layer of armor is applied separately, from the outside in.
Armor - Electric	Was a property of textiles and an apparel stat, before B19. Remove due to its uselessness. Armor against electric damage like EMP pulses.
Armor - Heat	The protection given against temperature-related damage like burns. Upon taking damage, first this armor rating is reduced by the attack's armor penetration value. The remaining armor rating is then compared against a random number from 0 to 100. If the random number is under half the armor rating, the damage deflects harmlessly. If the random number is over half the armor rating, but not higher than the armor rating, the damage is reduced by half and changed to blunt. If the random number is greater than the armor rating, the armor has no effect. For example, at 90% armor rating against an attack with 10% armor penetration, there is a 40% chance of deflecting the attack harmlessly, and a 40% chance of mitigating the damage. Each layer of armor is applied separately, from the outside in.
Armor - Sharp	The protection given against sharp damage like bullets, knife stabs, explosions, and animal bites. Upon taking damage, first this armor rating is reduced by the attack's armor penetration value. The remaining armor rating is then compared against a random number from 0 to 100. If the random number is under half the armor rating, the damage deflects harmlessly. If the random number is over half the armor rating, but not higher than the armor rating, the damage is reduced by half and changed to blunt. If the random number is greater than the armor rating, the armor has no effect. For example, at 90% armor rating against an attack with 10% armor penetration, there is a 40% chance of deflecting the attack harmlessly, and a 40% chance of mitigating the damage. Each layer of armor is applied separately, from the outside in.
