Fear Factor

From Eco - English Wiki

In the formulae below:

  • distance = Distance between the predator (the player or another animal) and the prey animal.
  • range = Predator's detection range (detectRange value), which can be reduced by taking Predatory Instincts.
  • fear = Prey's fear factor (fearFactor value).

A prey will be put on alert if: distance<(range×fear)

The prey's alertness towards a predator is assigned each tick according to the following formula:

alertness=alertness+range2distance2range2×50

If alertness100 the prey will flee. Default alertness to predators may be hard coded currently.
