What draws a worm

Every action carries a threat weight. Raising a shield is worth more than everything else on this list put together — twenty-five times a walk.

Raising a shield 500

Crossing drum sand 200

Suspensor use 200

Dashing 90

Hyper-sprinting 90

Running 20

Sprinting 20

Walking 15

Crouching 15

Picking up spice 10

Spice coalescing 10

Picking up flour sand 10

Flour sand coalescing 10

These are relative weights, not seconds or metres. Spice and flour-sand handling barely register; movement is mild until you dash or hypersprint; shields are in a class of their own.

A dot marks a tuned setting — a multiplier away from 1×, a fee at zero, or a switch deliberately thrown. These are flagged from the values themselves, not from a comparison against Funcom's defaults, which aren't published anywhere we can read. Distances in engine units (uu) are shown raw where the setting name doesn't state its unit; 1 uu is conventionally 1 cm.
