Cell Stat

A cell stat is a stat used in cells. They have alot of stats.

There are 6 different cell stats in Cell Lab. Each of them have different functions.

## List of cell types

* Age
* Mass
* Diameter
* Nitrogen
* Toxin
* Injury
A **cell's age** is a cell stat defined as the amount of time it has lived for.

## Age thresholds

* 0.00 h: Cells that result from cell splits, Stemocyte differentiations and Gamete fusions start on this age.
* 0.10 h: Cells placed using the cell synthesizer start on this age.
* 0.50 h: This is the threshold for many cell actions. Starting from this age:
	+ Cells can now split.
	+ Secrocytes that secrete protease will now function.
	+ Stemocytes will be able to differentiate.
	+ Gametes can now fuse.
* 240.00 h: If "Cell aging" is checked on the substrate settings, cells on this age will die.

## Mass

This is a stub or is otherwise incomplete, you can help by making it bigger. You can edit this page here.

**Mass** is a cell stat which indicates the amount of mass that a cell has received. A cell could have mass by having nutrients inside. A cell with alot of mass can be big. Or if it has less mass, it is small. It could change the weight of the cell and the diameter.

Cell mass does affect cell diameter.

## Diameter

**Diameter** is a cell stat which indicates the amount of diameter and mass that a cell has received. A cell could have mass or diameter by having nutrients inside. A cell diameter alot of mass can be big. Or if it has less diameter, it is small. It could change the weight of the cell and the diameter.

Cell mass does affect cell diameter.

By having more mass, it could increase in size.

**Nitrate** is a type of substance a cell can have. The amount of nitrates a cell has is indicated by its **nitrogen reserve** stat.

When a cell splits, its nitrates are split equally between its two children. A cell will not split if it has less than 20% nitrogen reserve. In addition, a cell with less than 10% nitrogen reserve dies instantly.

Nitrates can be transferred through adhesin connections. If two cells are connected and one of them has more nitrates than the other, it will transfer some nitrates to the other cell.

Under normal substrate conditions, a cell will recover nitrates faster than it can deplete them from splitting. However, depending on substrate settings. this recovery rate may be slower or even zero. In these conditions, Nitrocytes may be required. A Nitrocyte always has 100% nitrogen reserve at all times.

Devorocytes absorb nitrates from other cells in addition to nutrients.

Secrocytes consume nitrates continuously. It will stop functioning at less than 20% nitrogen reserve. Strangely, however, it stops consuming nitrates at less than 25% nitrogen reserve.

Toxins are chemicals that enter cells and damage them. HCN is a type of toxin.

**Injury** is a cell metric which measures the amount of chemical damage that a cell has sustained.

## Obtaining

A cell can be injured from poisoning, or contact with lipase.

## Effect

A cell will die when it has 100% injury.

An injured cell becomes green, the intensity of which depends on the level of injury. This color change stacks with the color change caused by toxins. However, this color change is purely aesthetic and does not affect the behavior of cell-smelling Senseocytes and Stereocytes.

Cells can naturally recover from injury. More injured cells recover faster. The recovery rate is approximately 0.05 \* injury level / hour.

Injury does not affect cell mass. It also does not spread to other cells.

When an injured cell splits, its injury will be equally split between the child cells, regardless of split ratio.
