Player movement speed

Post by RSBat »

I was doing some calculations and found out that player moves at 0.1484375 tiles/tick. As this is a strange number I thought that either my calculations are wrong or I have a problem with the game. But this wiki page suggests that I am correct
However in data.raw (link can be found here) has this line for player:

Code: Select all

running_speed = 0.15
so player should be running at 0.15 tiles/tick
All mods are turned off and I am running on natural terrain and character_running_speed_modifier is 0 and it is same for all directions
So what am I missing?

Each tile is divided into 256 pixels. 256 * 0.15 = 38.4 pixels/tick.

But the game can't track locations smaller than a pixel. So it rounds down to 38 pixels/tick.

38 / 256 = 0.1484375 tiles/tick.
