Definitions

Bonus - An action that does not take any resources from the pool. There is only 1 bonus action.
Pool - A buildup of points that can be expended to do an action or multiple actions. Size is fixed at 256.
Penalty - A period of time where an action requiring a certain stat cannot be performed. That stat is bright red in the skills tab.
Cost - The cost of an action. Cost is equal to 7 * the timer. Base timer numbers can be found here. Costs never change.
Stat - The number assigned to a certain stat. Typically 0-7, but can be higher on food.

Conclusions

  • You cannot cheat the timer. You must wait an equal amount of time that the actions cost. However...
  • The timer can cheat you. If your first action has a high cost, you wait until you almost have your bonus back, then do a small cost action. Any leftover time in the BonusTimer is lost.
  • Higher stats do not let you do more actions or queue up more points. It simple refills your Pool and BonusTimer faster. Therefore...
  • In burst mode, someone with 0 stats can do just as many actions as someone with high stats. The difference is the higher stat player will be ready to burst actions sooner.
  • If you are fully recharged, you are guaranteed 2 actions, regardless of the cost.
