Stats

Stats can be a bit misleading in Kenshi.

Combat

NOTE:

Approximation of weapon damage

WEAPON_MOD * (PLAYER_WEAPON_STAT + STR_OR_DEX)

NOTE:

Melee Attack/Defense only affects successful block/attack chance - not the attack damage

Damage is the sum of 3x calculations.

  • primary damage is for the weapon's largest modifier of (cutting vs blunt)
  • secondary damage is for the second
  • I do not understand the third...
WEP_MOD =   'modifier on weapon'                              # ex: 0.81
P_STAT =    'player stat associated with weapon damage type'  # ex: 5-Dexterity
P_WEP =     'player stat for weapon'                          # ex: 10-Katana

primary_dmg = 15 + (0.3 * WEP_MOD * (P_STAT + P_WEP))
melee attack:   chance of successful attack
melee defense:  chance of blocking

strength:        used in attk-dmg for blunt type weapons
dexterity:       used in attk-dmg for cutting type weapons
<weapon_skill>:  used in calculation of raw attack damage
