Efficiency

There are many actions in Mush to which an efficiency is attached, given as a percentage. They can be classified into two categories:

• Progress actions, which are always successful, and are used for a greater task. The efficiency of all participants sums up, until 100% is reached and the task is complete.

• Random actions (repairing something, shooting someone, etc.), which may fail: the efficiency is the chance of success.

In both cases, the efficiency you get varies depending on many factors: the action itself, skills, items in inventory, broken equipment, etc.

Progress Actions

Main article: Relaying. For several of such actions (Research, NERON Projects, PILGRED) the efficiency of any character drops after each progress, and is only reset to its base level when another character does the same action: relaying is thus needed.

Random Actions: Success Chance

In most cases, a failed random action will only generate a Private log but will, however, increase the efficiency by half or a quarter. Just watching the table, is obvious that all the actions have this two efficiency variations (x1,5/x1,25), and as repairing with no tools increase more the efficiency, it would be a great idea to try to repair without them, so you use less to achieve a 34-44% or more, that becomes on 51-66% picking up one tool.

However, any other action consuming will reset the efficiency to its base level. Including converting into . On the other hand, changing room when is available, lying down or eating do not consume and do not reset the efficiency.

The maximum efficiency is of 99%, meaning that a random action can always fail, even after 10 unlucky tries in a row.

TODO: anyone knows how to fill this table without testing each action?-I've just wrote and calculated how before.

Action	Base chance (first try)	Next tries
		2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th
Repair	6%	9%	13%	19%	28%	42%	63%	94%	99%
	12%	18%	27%	40%	60%	90%	99%
	25%	37%	55%	77%	99%
Repair with 1 tool	9%	11%	14%	17%	21%	27%	34%	42%		(tested on research lab)
Repair with 2 tools	56%	70%								(tested on fuel tank)
Turret: shoot	30%	45%	67%	99%						(tested)
AstroTerminal: scan	80%	99%								(tested)
Extinguisher: extinguish	50%	62%	77%	96%	?%					(tested)
