Damage is inflicted upon entities in the game world from various sources, and is split into four categories - Brute, Toxic, Fire, and Suffocation. Humans have a scale that runs from -100% to 100% which counts all damage taken - using a Health Analyser on someone will display their condition within this system. Once a human falls below 0 damage, they will become unconscious. Certain bodily processes, such as the automatic healing of minor burn damage over time, will continue, potentially bringing the person out of critical. Different races may react differently to various stimuli.

Brute Damage

Brute Damage is physical injury or damage inflicted upon an entity. It is likely the most common type of damage you will encounter, after Suffocation.

  • Being attacked with a held object

  • Getting shot by projectile weapons
  • Explosions

Burn Damage

Burn damage relates to various kinds of burns, but also occurs from exposure to extreme cold.

  • Being struck with certain items (Welders most notably)
  • Being shot with an energy weapon
  • Exposure to extremely high or low temperatures
