Speed Values

Here's where the numbers I've added to the article came from:

Running/walking:

• Farmer::setRunning says that base.speed=5 if running; otherwise base.speed=2

Horse:

• Farmer::getMovementSpeed says that movementSpeed = base.speed + 4.6 if isRidingHorse() (and there's no cut-scene, etc.)
• Farmer::setMount sets base.speed=2 when mounting a horse and Farmer::updateMovementAnimation() also sets base.speed=2 if isRidingHorse()
  • At first glance, I thought the base speed when riding was 5, because Farmer::setRunning says that running=true when isRidingHorse(). But in fact, that bit of code in setRunning explicitly prevents base.speed from being changed to the running value of 5.
• This implies that horse-riding is 32% faster than running (6.6/5=1.32), which is similar to the (as far as I can tell undocumented) 30% increase stated at Horse
• One quick in-game check confirmed this value: running across the screen took 10 seconds, whereas riding across the exact same distance took 7.5 seconds (versus expected value of [10 seconds] * [running speed of 5] / [riding speed of 6.6] = 7.58).

Terrain:

• Grass:doCollisionAction sets (who as Farmer).temporarySpeedBuff = -1f
• HoeDirt::doCollisionAction sets (who as Farmer).temporarySpeedBuff = -1f, but only if crop != null && (int)crop.currentPhase != 0 && who is Farmer && (who as Farmer).running)
• Flooring::doCollisionAction sets (who as Farmer).temporarySpeedBuff = 0.1f;, but only if location is Farm.

I had always noticed the first two slowdowns in game, but the flooring speed-up seems too small to be clearly detectable.
