Adjusting SCP 173's Speed

The calculations required to modify SCP 173’s speed may seem tedious, but they are manageable. The two key configurations to focus on are:

• Distance per Teleport (TP): The distance SCP 173 covers in each teleportation check.
• TP Iterations per Frame: The number of times SCP 173 teleports within a single frame. (Note: There are approximately 60 frames per second.) The formula to determine SCP 173's speed is as follows:

𝐷 𝑖 𝑠 𝑡 𝑎 𝑛 𝑐 𝑒 𝑃 𝑒 𝑟 𝑇 𝑃 ∗ 𝑇 𝑃 𝐼 𝑡 𝑒 𝑟 𝑎 𝑡 𝑖 𝑜 𝑛 𝑠 𝑃 𝑒 𝑟 𝐹 𝑟 𝑎 𝑚 𝑒

text Copy code 1F * 100 = 100F/Frame 100F/Frame * 60Frame/Second = 6000F/Second To put this into perspective, SCP 173 can travel over 10 times the distance from the ship to the main entrance in just one second if it is not being observed.

Customizing SCP 173's Speed Now that you understand how the speed is calculated, it’s time to decide how you want SCP 173 to function within your gameplay. By default, SCP 173 is incredibly fast, capable of reaching any location in less than a second, often within a single frame. Below are some suggested configurations:

Peaceful Mode:

Distance per TP: 0.01F
TP Iterations per Frame: 3
Distance per Second: 1.80F/Second

Easy Mode:

Distance per TP: 0.05F
TP Iterations per Frame: 1
Distance per Second: 3.00F/Second

Medium Mode:

Distance per TP: 0.05F
TP Iterations per Frame: 2
Distance per Second: 6.00F/Second

Hard Mode:

Distance per TP: 0.10F
TP Iterations per Frame: 3
Distance per Second: 18.00F/Second

Very Hard Mode:

Distance per TP: 0.10F
TP Iterations per Frame: 10
Distance per Second: 60F/Second

Impossible Mode (Default):

Distance per TP: 1F
TP Iterations per Frame: 100
Distance per Second: 6000F/Second

Why Is the Default Mode Impossible? The default settings are designed to be lore-accurate, reflecting SCP 173's terrifying speed. Sorry for the fright!
