Help me finish the "Effects" column of the Traits page (Wiki)

[ZonaryQuasar]

Hi,

I am currently editing and translating the Project Zomboid wiki to PT-BR and saw that the Effects column is not completed.

Some things can be tested and discovered in game, while others can not, and that's why I'm asking here for help.

We have the Traits table (showing only the ones that doesn't list values on the effects column):

 

Name	Type	Mutually Exclusive	Points	Description	Effect
Brave	Positive	Cowardly, Desensitized	-4	"Less prone to becoming panicked."	(by how much?)
)Cat's Eyes	Positive	-	-2	"Better vision at night"	(by how much?)
Eagle Eyed	Positive	Short Sighted	-6	"Faster visibility fade. Higher visibility arc."	Character has a wider field of view. (by how much?)
Fast Healer	Positive	Slow Healer	-6	"Recovers faster from injuries and illnesses."	(by how much?)
Iron Gut	Positive	Weak Stomach	-3	"Less chance to have food illness"	(by how much?)
Keen Hearing	Positive	Deaf, Hard of Hearing	-6	"Larger perception radius."	(by how much?)
Lucky	Positive	Unlucky	-4	"Sometimes things just go your way"	Character is more likely to find rare items and has higher chance of repair, does not affect chance to get infected. (by how much?)

 

Please, if anyone can help me dicovering this.

If anyone from the Indie Stone team could share a light here.

If we manage to complete this I will post the rest (hobbies and negative traits).

Brave: 0.3 multiplier,

Cowardly 2.0 multiplier

 

Fast Healer: 0.8 random car crash damage multiplier

Slow Healer: 1.2 random crash damage multiplier

Besides vehicle damage, FH/SH  take effect when the player is bitten, and when falling (breaking a leg). Random time to heal is calculated: FH is between 30-50, normal 50-80, and SH 80-120.

Effect multiplier on other injuries varies

Cats Eyes: 0.8 multiplier to the 'night strength' darkness value

 

Lucky: 1.1 multiplier on all loot rolls, -5% fail chance on repair

Unlucky: 0.9 multiplier on loot, +5% fail chance

 

Iron Gut: 0.5 multiplier to food poison value

Weak Stomach: 2.0 multiplier to food poison value

 

Eagle Eyed, Short Sighted, Keen Hearing, Hard of Hearing etc are used in more complex calculations the exact % effect isn't so apparent at quick glance.

 

I highly suspect some of rest of the info on that page is incorrect anyways, gathered from sources other then directly checking the code.

Resilient

Positive

Prone to Illness

-4

"Less prone to disease. Slower rate of zombification."

-70% infection rate

Prone to Illness

Negative

Resilient

+4

"More prone to disease. Faster rate of zombification."

- 300% infection rate

 

Not sure where this information is coming from (the %'s). Resilient uses a 1.25 'morality duration' modifier, Prone 0.75

They also take effect when your wet, on the check for catching a cold, and only if you don't have outdoorsman. Resilient is a 0.45 multiplier, Prone is 1.7

 

This is probably a oversight. Outdoorsman (-2 points) completely cancels the check for Prone (+4 points) for a net gain of 2 points, and Resilient is completely useless as Outdoorsman is cheaper, and more powerful.

            setCatchACold(0.0F);
            setHasACold(true);
            setColdStrength(20.0F);
            setTimeToSneezeOrCough(0);

        } 
      }

Corrected several errors in my previous post. Apparently I didn't look hard enough.

Cat's Eyes	Positive	-	-2	"Better vision at night"	+20% better vision at night
Eagle Eyed	Positive	Short Sighted	-6	"Faster visibility fade. Higher visibility arc."	(?)
Fast Healer	Positive	Slow Healer	-6	"Recovers faster from injuries and illnesses."	+20% faster recover time (more or less)
Iron Gut	Positive	Weak Stomach	-3	"Less chance to have food illness"	-50% chance
Keen Hearing	Positive	Deaf, Hard of Hearing	-6	"Larger perception radius."	(?)
Lucky	Positive	Unlucky	-4	"Sometimes things just go your way"	+10% chance of finding loot -5% chance of failing repair

@Fenris_Wolf, can you confirm if the informations I typed based on your post are correct?

I'm very willing to update those informations on the Wiki, but I wish someone's approval first. Is there anyone in charge of the Wiki? 

 

[ZonaryQuasar]

I asked on #pz-wiki Discord channel and they gave me green light. I will post this on the Traits page, if anyone see any error or misinformation, please fix (and if possible message me so I can update the translation).

Thanks
