Leisure time, how much time?

[MrFrengLitch]

How much leisure time do you guys give your people?

[CantPlayJack]

NONE. Work, you ingrates!

But in all seriousness, I find that if I give them shrines and backgammon tables, they tend to take time out of their days on their own.

[MrFrengLitch]

I actually tried to put them to work only and their happiness drop quite heavily if you do that.
So Im trying to figure a good balance between work, sleep and leisure time.

[ploppo]

I give them an hour after they wake up.
An hour in the middle of a 12 hour shift.
Two or three hours of leisure before they go to bed.

Union town here: each has two 4-hour sleep shifts, two 6-hour work shifts, four 1-hour freetime buffering between each.

Workers shifts are split/staggered so that most of them are semi fresh in case of emergencies.

They probably actually get less than 8 hours sleep and especially less than 4 hours leisure a day since they usually need to finish up their current project then travel before starting a break. On the other hand, they only need to "top off the tank" which makes it less likely an unexpected event throws everything into too much chaos.

I do 4 hour cycles of work with 1 leisure 1 anything and then after 10-4 I list sleep if not nightowls nightowls sleep 4-10 AM and repeat.

i give my colonists the rimworld treatment.
sleep from 22 till 6(maybe 7) so they get a solid 8hours rest
2 hours of play after waking up
1 hour of anything followed by 4 hours of work
1 hour of anything (so if they wanna snack, play, wrok more, their choice) with another 4 hours of work
1 hour of anything and then 2 hours of play before bed

seems to work well in both games, if night owl i shuffle it but otherwise its the same hours but at night
