Weight

Every item in Blossom & Decay has a weight and there is only a limited amount of weight a character can carry without being overloaded. Currently a characer becomes overloaded when the carried weight exceeds 200 units. This results in slowdown paired with a steady loss of stamina while moving and therefore is a potentially dangerous condition.

Weight Load Mechanics
The actual weight mechanics formulae were not known from the developers and therefore had to be found out by reverse engineering, but are now confirmed with exact values from the developers. The model for stamina change rate SCR while moving with weight w and healthy vital values (satisfied hunger, thirst, sleepiness and temperature) looks like this:



SCR(w) = SRR - SDD(w) ,

where:

Stamina recovery rate: SRR = 4

Stamina drain rate: SDR(w) =

0, w <= 100

3, w <= 200

8 * w / 255, otherwise

The plot on the right shows the exact model compared to the original in-game data.
