Poké ball Combat System
How the maths / dice roll works:

POKEMON / CREATURE
Difficulty = Wildness of animal (which means 0 = totally not wild, 1 = totally wild)
CombatPower = Default combat power listed in which animal (this determines how many elephants vs boomrats will appear in a manhunter event) / 200 <--- elephant is 310, thrumbo is 600, boomrat is 50
AnimalHealth = By percentage of health. 100% health = 1, 10% health = 0.1

So the “PokemonLevel” = Difficulty + CombatPower + AnimalHealth

CASTER
Random Number = between 0 – 1.0 (this is for randomness)
CasterStats = Animal Taming Skills ( Animal Skills 0 = 0, Animal Skills 20 = 0.22) x 10 <-- This is in accordance to the vanilla game, where a level 20 will have 22% chance of successful tame
PokeballLevel = Weapon Damage / 100

Pokeball Caster’s “diceroll” = Random Number + CasterStats + PokeballLevel

So the determination of whether is a successful tame, depends on which number is bigger. PokemonLevel or Caster.
If PokemonLevel > Caster, taming fail.
If PokemonLevel < Caster, Success!

For some reference (full health):

Chicken: 1.11
Boomrat: PokemonLevel 2.0
Panther: PokemonLevel 2.575
Elephant: PokemonLevel 3.3
Thrumbo: PokemonLevel 4.985

Level 0 Caster (with pokeball of damage 50): 0.5 ~ 1.5
Level 20 Caster (with pokeball of damage 50): 2.7 ~ 3.7
Every Animal Skills Level gains 0.11 in CasterStats stats.

After each pokeball hit (not miss), you will be able to check the stats behind the Pokeball Battle, and figure out what should be your next move.

If it fails, should you get another colonist with higher animal skills?

Or should you use a higher level pokeball?

Or should you bash up and down the animal and try again (a downed animal can lose as much as 0.7 points in their PokemonLevel points)?

Its your choice!~

VER1.1 UPDATE NOTE
Just a quick update to the codes, after qjqqwerty informed me on steam that the casterStats is x5 to the animal taming chance than the x10 I have mentioned in the description. It was a mistake, it supposed to be x10 (I forgot to update the codes).

Thus this update.

Sorry for any Thrumbo taming failures~ ={{{

VER 1.1 CHANGELOG:
– Amended the mistake in the CasterStats (x10, not x5)
– Added RicoFox233 临时の工作服’s Chinese Translation
