Mood?

[PleB Hitzgi]

Just quickly asking:
1. What effects do Mood have?
2. Which things affect Mood?

I know the quality of housing does affect it but what about work intensity? If you have a woodshed work at 80% instead of 100, will mood rise?

So far the only thing that you have to keep an eye out for is that the mood does not drop to minus 100. That is the only effect at the moment.

Mood is affected by NPCs having food, firewood and a home, a family, the skill at the job they are doing, events and the type of king you help with herald quests.

[subwaybananas]

unfortunately nothing. Only that they leave you if the mood reach -100. But all between -99 to 100 have no affect at the moment.

gnnrg, again one second to late

What happens after 100, is the euphoria, they explode with joy?

Welp, 100% work intensity it is.

No unions yet. So far, you're good to go. ;)

But what about the players mood? I saw mine had the Dropping Mood Arrow and haven't figured what alters the players mood, other than maybe lack of sleep?[/]

[Goldi:AI]

House, maybe? Events? It's not like you can leave yourself if it drops too low.

[Chief]

maybe when ours get too low that when we do the log vault or the log roll

[Moustache]

And here i thought mood affects how fast NPCs lvl skills.

Just to check, since it's been half a year and there's been updates, is this still accurate?

This thread looks old, which is fine, but I'm curious if this is still the case in the (current) released version. Some other threads suggest mood effects productivity. Have there been changes? Thank you.

*Mood of workers affects the speed of trading (from Mood: -100% = Trading speed: -20%, to Mood: 100% = Trading speed: +20%).
