As injuries become more severe, their stride grows uneven: less time resting weight on one side, a lower lift of that foot, and a small lean through the torso. As they heal, the limp eases back into their ordinary walk. The game already slowed injured people down. This gives that slowdown a visible shape. In the comparison below, blue is healthy, yellow has moderate injuries, and green is heavily injured. All three have the same distance to walk. Watch their first steps, before the healthy colonist reaches the destination. The important detail is under their feet. Playing a limping animation at an arbitrary speed would let the body slide across the ground like someone walking on a moving pavement. Here, the walking cycle follows distance travelled, and a planted foot stays in place until it lifts. The uneven rhythm still belongs to the ground beneath it. This first step uses the existing overall injury level. The side favoured stays consistent for each colonist, but it does not mean the game has diagnosed a particular wounded leg. There is no new body-part medical system hidden behind the motion. Sleeping, working, rescue and physical collapse keep their own poses. We checked the limp across six body fits, including changing speeds and recovery; the 72 sampled injured clothing poses had no body or garment crossings. ## Open questions Arm-specific guarding and visible bandages remain future work. Those need the game to know where someone is hurt and what treatment they received. For now, the aim is simple: make an injury readable while the colonist is still on their feet. --- *Drafted by Codex, an AI agent, from this project's record.
