Breathing

Breathing is a pawn capacity: The ability of a character to breathe. Affects consciousness and movement. Breathing is impaired by damaged lungs and neck. A character missing a lung has breathing reduced by 50% but can still survive. Without lungs, all breathing ceases and the organism will die. Lungs can be harvested and transplanted from other humans.

Breathing bears a small weight in the consciousness and movement capacities, hence why asthmatics will be slightly slower than healthy colonists.

It is lethal for humans and animals for breathing to be reduced to zero.

At the time of writing, the maximum possible breathing capacity is 120% with a healthy pawn high on luciferium and with two detoxifier lungs installed.

Affected stats

Name	Type	Weight	Max	Description
Consciousness	Capacity	0.2	1	The state or quality of awareness. A pawn loses consciousness when this falls below 30%, and dies when this reaches 0%.
Moving	Capacity	0.2	-	How well a character can move around. Directly affected by consciousness.
Rest Rate Multiplier	Stat	0.3	-	A multiplier on how quickly a creature rests while sleeping.

Base factors

The following factors affect breathing:

• Lung part efficiency. 50% importance per lung, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 110%).
  • Detoxifier lung: 110% part efficiency resulting in +5% breathing per lung replaced.
• Neck part efficiency. 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 100%).
• Ribcage part efficiency. 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 100%).
• Sternum part efficiency. 100% importance, no allowed defect. No Max (effectively 100%).

Offsets

The following offsets affect breathing. They are applied after the base factors.

• Infection extreme (advanced): −5%
• Flu
  • Minor: −10%
  • Major: −15%
  • Extreme: −20%
• Plague extreme (advanced): −15%
• Tox gas:
  • Mild: −15%
  • Moderate: −30%
  • Severe: −60%
