Rushed Transfer – Instant Transfer Items with Consequences! [b41+]

Allows your character to force transfer an item and deal with the consequences. Very useful if you are in a hurry! Or simply if you want to build your base faster. This mechanism is inspired by a similar one available in State of Decay.

How does it work, what does it do?

• Default key binding is [O] (configurable in options)
• Automatically sends the item to the desired inventory/bag/floor
• Generate noise and endurance loss depending on item weight
• Potential risk to damage the item or yourself in the process (depends of item)
• Works for transferring and grabbing items timed actions
• Currently only works for single item transfer (not bulk transfer yet)

Noise:
Rushing transfers will cause quite the rackuss! The heavier the item is, the louder it gets. Generated sound will always be at a minimum radius of 5 squares and can carry up 20.
Examples:

• Pen > 5 squares
• Shirt > 5 squares
• Baseball Bat > Sound radius 6 squares
• Plank > Sound radius 9 squares
• DumbBell > Sound radius 15 squares
• Propane Tank > Sound radius 20 squares
• Antique Oven > Sound radius 20 squares

Fatigue:
Moving items in a hurry is no walk in a park. Stamina is also reduced depending on the item’s weight. This is mitigated by the character’s Fitness level.
For instance, instantly moving a Propane tank will cost you:

• 2.5% of stamina for a Standard Character (Fitness 5)
• 1.25% of stamina for a Fit Fitness Instructor (Fitness 10)
• 6.25% of stamina for a Unfit Standard Character (Fitness 1)

For balancing reasons:

• Fitness is always considered to be between 2 and 10
• Weight taken into account does not exceed 10

Condition Degradation:
Shoving items with force from one place to another is the best way to break your stuff! Rushing transfer of an item carries a chance to degrade it. Base chance to damage the item is 60% but Maintenance reduces risk of damaging the item by 10% per level in skill. Meaning a 30% chance of damaging item for character at Maintenance 3 (Starting skill of a Handy Repairman)
Items that can be affected:

• Weapon-typed items may lose a tenth of their durability
• Containers (bags) may lose 1 point of carrying capacity
• Canned goods may break open

Heavy Lifting Injuries:
No time to think about lifting with your legs and not your back? I feel sorry for your spine! Just like sleeping on a bad bed, rushing a transfer of heavy items may cause you back pain. Base chance for damaging your back is Item_Weight*10% with a maximum of 100%. Each Strength level reduces risk by 10% per level. Inflicted Pain and Damages also depend on the item’s weight.
Example of a standard Strength 5 Character:

• Shirt > 0% chance of hurting back
• Plank > 0% chance of hurting back
• Barbell > 10% chance of hurting back
• Logs > 40% chance of hurting back
• Propane Tank > 50% chance of hurting back

This Means 40% chance of hurting yourself with logs at (default character)

Sharps Injuries:
If you don’t know how to handle them, you should stay careful when manipulating blades. Rushing a transfer of a sharp weapon could lacerate your hand!
Base chance for cutting yourself is 60%. Blade-related skill (Short Blade/Long blade/Axe) reduces the risk by 15% per level in each. Meaning 0% chance of damaging hands with blade for a character at Axe 3 (Starting skill of a Brawler Lumberjack)

I plan to expand the system when I get more time for modding. Here are the ideas that I have not yet implemented.

• More randomness on wounds location
• Loaded guns and chance to shoot yourself
• Fracture chances with very heavy weapons
• Make the code work for bulk items transfer
• More degradation to items (food, clothes, etc.)
• Traits integration to odds (Lucky/Unlucky/Dextrous/AllThumbs)
• Eventually fixes and balancing

Many thanks to those who have assisted me when I hit bumps on the road developing this. To co` for explaining that player actions are java.util.Stack objects and how to manipulate those.To Fenris_Wolf for his direct support and insights related to scopes and vanilla functions overriding, as well as for his modding guide that you can find here[github.com].
