This article is updated for Update 15.1.
Effect Values[]
Effect Values are used across many configuration files to define bonuses or penalties survivors get in different stats. Depending on where these are used, the effects may be global or specific for a survivor.
Some examples can be found in Modding: Skills and Modding: Global Effects
Format[]
Effect values are always defined within another node, such as a skill or a research subject. Within this node, entry consist of a stat ID and a value.
Example:
skills.entity.soldier.effect.accuracy=0.1 skills.entity.soldier.effect.actiongroup_patrol=0.2 skills.entity.soldier.effect.health=0.15
The stat IDs in this example are "accuracy", "actiongroup_patrol" and "health". All these bonuses are under the "soldier" skill, and define how that skill affects the survivor's stats.
The stat ID defines which stat will be affected, and the value defines what the bonus or penalty will be. In most cases the value is a multiplier on the base value, so 0.1 translates to 10%, and -0.15 translates to a penalty of 15%.
