Difference between revisions of "40d:Thought"

Dwarf psychology is not all that complex - various events cause dwarves to gain 'thoughts'. Thoughts have a [[happiness]]/unhappiness value. The value of all the thoughts a particular dwarf has is simply summed to determine how happy or unhappy they are. If dwarves are particularly unhappy, they may throw [[tantrum]]s, and may enter fell or macabre [[strange mood]]s.

Now you will see descriptions on how the dwarf feels ''(Ecstatic, happy, content, unhappy, miserable)'', and what recent events made an impact on the dwarf. There are also some personal traits listed on the bottom.

* "Slept in a good quality [[bedroom]] recently"  

* "Dined in a good quality [[dining room]] lately"  

* "Had a pretty decent/fine/good/wonderful/truly decadent drink/meal lately"  

* "Is quite pleased with making an [[artifact]]"

* "Admired a own fine craft/furniture/building lately"  

* "Received [[water]] recently"

* "Gave somebody water lately"

* "Has been satisfied at work lately

* "Pleased to have a mandate deadline met lately"

* "Shouted at someone in charge recently, and felt better afterwards" - result of an unhappy dwarf going to a meeting

* "Was upset to be wearing old/tattered clothing lately"

* "Was annoyed by [[vermin]]"

* "Has been accosted by terrible vermin"

* "Was unable to make suggestions about [[Outpost manager|work allocations]] lately" - Manager

* "Was upset by having a mandate ignored lately"

* "Conducted a meeting in an awful setting recently" - Mayor  

* "Was upset by a lesser's pretentious sleeping arrangements lately" - Noble

* "Was put off by a lesser's pretentious dining arrangements lately" - Noble

{{Old|v23.130.23a}}

A dwarf's emotional state is quantified in a single number. This number is computed by summing the modifier for each thought the dwarf is currently remembering. Each thought lasts one year, and after half a year has passed since gaining a thought, the modifier is halved, rounding away from zero (so 7 halved would be 4 and -9 halved would be -5). There is no way to tell the age of a thought.

* +50 or more: ecstatic

* -100 or less: miserable  

The method by which one is chosen for thoughts with multiple malus possibilities is presently unknown. It appears that some are merely incremented for each occurance. Others apparently are chosen by the severity of the incident that caused the thought.
