I hate you, and i hate you too.

[Drakken]

I have started something like 30+ games and this is always the same, my characters almost always hate each other, i had once and only once one character interested by another.

Imo, the rescuer of a new member should be rewarded
The doctor healing your injuries, should be rewarded.
The cook doing those good meals should be rewarded (based on the meal quality like, +1, +2, +3) etc.

i also observe a strong tendency of negative vibes between my survivors. i would appriciate the implementation of something like the above

[Huntermeign]

Agreed. Maybe one pair of survivors after several years can have a friendship in my experience so far (usually crafters working all the time in the same space). While I can expect someone like Conner to always be hated, why is Emelin, who is cheerful and makes good food, hated by 5 of the 6 other survivors, who are consistently happy?

I do not even think its bad that there are negative effects. I just don't think there is enough positives to outweigh the negatives.

[Elgar]

I agree with OP and the two other posts.

I understand there will be stress, crash landing on a strange planet with a bunch of strangers.

I also understand there's gonna be people ****ing each other's brains out for EXACTLY that reason. So, yeah, it should create both loves and hates, but often it's only hate.

In a Situation like this, only the fools are hating.
Smart people will try to work together with the others.

Let's use my exemples..
Kelreena, you are in this situation, originally you don't belong to that group of people, your pod landed... crashed somewhere else, you are alone on an hostile planet but mister-A saw the crash and he is bringing you back to his base with his air balloon, some days later, you are attacked by a beast just outside the camp, Miss-A is killing the beast but you are bleeding a lot, she is bringing you back to your bed, and Miss-B is healing all your wounds and she is feeding you with the delicious meals cooked by mister-B

After that if you are human, you are thankful for the rest of your life, and you are trying your best to help them.
The ungrateful AI, will rahter hate them over time.

I have head canon about Emelin, as she currently exists in the game. The reason why the other survivors are, or become, unhappy with her is this:

When Emelin isn't cooking, she is livestreaming herself being hypernet famous and a drama queen while is she performing other tasks. She does this because she hates doing any other job. She is also painfully oblivious to the harsh realities of their situation.

If the devs fix whatever is causing the dichotomy between Emelin's lore and her in-game behavior, or how companions react to her, I would probably change my views and use her more often.

I have Talas among my team. He's interested in Krista, for him that means he's just at -16. :P With the others he has -68 and -72. *LOL*

So I agree, something is a bit messed up here.

I think I have an idea about this one. I think the happiness of the survivors influences strongly if they form good or bad relations with each other. Everyone hates Talas because he has a gloomy personality. It's hard to have him at good happiness values, especially with his movement bonus that practically begs for sending him out into the mines or woods or fields or whatever you trained him for (by nature, he's a scientist with 5 INT to start with, thankfully I had two others better at research than him). In the beginning, you can't really afford to have them relax all that much anyway, so everyone is unhappy and everyone hates the others.

But I got Jack by now as additional survivor from an expedition, and I can way better afford to keep people happy now. So my starting team still very much hates each other, but they start to actually like your favorite combat instructor.

Not sure if that's really how it works, but it would be a way to explain it.

I'm on my eighth restart with Ken (20) and Lara (33) at +46 and +47 interest in each other. Though I have never seen it on screen I'm pretty sure I know what Lara's attraction is.

But they hate everyone else in the group. and Lara does all the cooking, planting and harvesting even though I have tasked others to help so everyone should be in love with her.

I like the over all concept of this game but constant micromanagement of the attitudes of a bunch of drama queens is a little over the top here. You really need to tone down the management aspect of some of this love/ hate stuff. This is a good training game for psychoanalysts and psychiatrists.

[Paraleo]

people working solo all the time will hate everyone and be hated by everyone in time
