When omitted

ComputedTakes the value of TargetSpecialThreatCoefficientDefault in [General], which is itself 0 when that key is absent too.

The coefficient multiplies the candidate type’s SpecialThreatValue, which is the one figure in the threat score authored on the target rather than on the shooter. Set it positive on the types that should hunt whatever a mod marks as valuable, and negative on the types that should leave those alone. It is read from the type of the object doing the choosing.

[MYPRIZE] ; example UnitType worth hunting
SpecialThreatValue=50

Zero cannot be pinned on one type

The value is read with a fallback that substitutes TargetSpecialThreatCoefficientDefault whenever the stored figure is zero, and the rules are read again for each later layer. An explicit 0 therefore lasts only until the first later layer that carries the type’s section without this key, which puts the global default back.
