Propulsion

Treads, legs, wheels, and hover/flight units represent a spectrum from greater mass support and slow speed to lower mass support and fast speed. Exceeding the mass limit provided by active propulsion components will slow movement.

Base speed is measured by the time it takes to move one space, where an "average" speed is 100 time units. Check Cogmind's status screen for an indicator of relative speed as a percentage (100% is average, higher = faster), or see that same page or the main HUD for the actual cost in time.

Context help available for propulsion component stats explains the movement mechanics in more detail.

Note that only one form of propulsion may be active at a time, where different variations of the same form will use the average of their respective stats.

Note that while flying Cogmind can rush directly over blocking robots, even hostile ones.
