Cognition
More actions
Cognition in Stationeers is measured via Stun. Whether by taking certain forms of damage or breathing gasses like Nitrous Oxide, your Stun percentage (noted by this icon 
in your vitals panel) will increase.
As your Stun % rises your HUD will warn you of your cognition, and as you continue to lose consciousness, your vision will lose color and darken until you black out.
| Status | HUD Symbol |
|---|---|
| If Stun is between 1% and 74%, your HUD will warn you that you attained Stun. |
|
| If Stun is between 75% and 99%, you'll get a Cognition Critical Warning. |
|
| If Stun goes over 100%, you will become unconscious as indicated on the HUD. |

Stun caps at 200% and decreases over time, given you're not in a environment breathing a gas that is increasing it.
How stun works on HEM Droids
Whilst HEM Droids do not breathe and thus can not be knocked out through gasses in the air, they can fall unconscious if their personal Battery is removed or if their personal Battery dies. Unlike a Human/Zrilian, Stun will not drop until a Battery with power is inserted into them. As a result, the only way a HEM Droid can come to is if another player inserts a charged Battery into them while they're unconscious (or if they happen to have a wireless battery cell, are near a power transmitter, and power/charging is restored).
