Lo-Fi Games

6 of my squad have athletics in the 80's and the character sheets says max run speed 100+, but none of them have a run speed higher than 25.

Nothing in inventory, nothing equipped, no injuries, stealth not toggled, walk not toggled. Am I missing something, cause I swore run speed could go higher, and I've seen beak things just an hour ago with run speeds of 38.

yep, thats about the cap. If you must go faster, youll need to wear sandals. Scorchlanders also have a higher minimum speed which leads to a slightly higher speed as you approach 99, and hivers have the fastest max speed (but no shoe slot, im not sure how that works out in the end)

Thanks. Though that's strange if players are capped at 25, but enemies (at least beak things from what I saw) can get higher run speeds. I had beak things follow me from a hive village to Stack

Top speed varies by race/species even for player characters, skeletons are a bit slower and hivers are a bit faster, for example.

Gonna use my nocturnal powers of Narko and necro this thread.


I just realized that my "main" characterhas an athletics skill of exactly 552,8944 (checked the .PLATOON file). He's also running at past 70 mph when naked and somewhat above 45 mph when in full samurai gear.. Sadly as I have been using the movement pace toggle ALOT to make sure the whole party moves at the same pace so I cannot say exactly when this happend (if it was instant, idk).

Has anyone else experienced something similar or is something really strange going on in my game? I'll file a bug report later if it turns out I can reproduce and figure out whats wrong.

Never had that happen with athletics, but I've had similar incidents with dexterity before. Went down into -7 million once. And I'm not the only one, it was a fairly common occurrence for a while.

Worst part about it was that it made you unable to attack or block. As your attack and block speeds were so infinitesimally slow.

Yeah, sadly I couldn't find a way to reproduce it so I ended up manually changing it back to 89.

how do you manually change it ? you open the file with "Notepad++" or what ?

you need to edit one of the files in your save with the forgotton construction set editor.
