Status effects

A Status effect is a static or dynamic modification of one or more statistical properties of an entity, such as a monster or the player. Status effects apply for some time duration, which may be indefinite, and they may change over time. If an entity is affected by a status effect, it will be subject to the effect until it either wears off, or some event removes it. Entities can gain immunity to certain effects. Status effects range from beneficial to detrimental and come in five types: buff (statistical increase), debuff (statistical decrease), resistance, immunity, and ability. Frackin' Universe adds well over 700 unique status effects in order to implement various mechanics; this page lists only the logical effects that are communicated via an icon in the game interface.

• Electrified: Your body is currently conducting electricity and will sustain damage from other nearby Electrified sources.
• Helium: Usually encountered on Moons; Helium affects you much like Low Gravity, allowing higher, slower jumping.
• High Gravity: An increase in gravity draws you quicker towards the planet core; jumping is reduced, and is much quicker.
• Low Gravity: A decrease in gravity slows your descent towards the planet core; jumping is higher, and much slower.
• Melting: You are in Lava and are melting! You will take rising fire damage until you leave the Lava. (Swaps to Burning after leaving Lava.)
• Oil (Slow): You are covered in Oil; the slippery, oily substance makes it harder for you to move and jump.
• Pus: 50% poison resistance penalty, 100% mental resistance penalty; resisted with Physical resistance.
• Sandstorm: A raging sandstorm slows your movements and reduces your jump height.
• Slime: You are covered in Slime; you are unable to jump very high, or move very fast until you leave the source of the Slime.
• Sticky Slime: You are standing on Slime, which has covered your body and has temporarily made your impact with other objects more bouncy.

Resistances and Immunities

These status effects grant resistance to a particular damage type and/or grant immunity to a particular status. An immunity status effect immediately removes the effect(s) to which it confers immunity. Even when an effect grants immunity, the resistance may still be useful, because some negative effects respect resistance but not immunity. For example, the Antidote effect below helps grant immunity to Bio-Ooze through its 10% Poison resistance, while Antidote's Poison status immunity is not effective against Bio-Ooze.

When there is a range of resistance in the table below, the sources are listed in increasing order of intensity.

The Immunization enhancer grants virtually all of the above immunities until death, and other enhancers provide specific resistances. The Shoggoth Armor (not listed above) also confers immunity to many effects. The Atmospheric Regulator provides immunity to many negative environmental effects within its effective radius.

There are many other ways, besides the status effects listed above, to obtain resistance and immunity, including level-dependent armor piece bonuses, armor set bonuses, shield bonuses, and race-specific bonuses.
