[DragonStryder]

How do you get people to like each other more?
People are just pissed off on each other constantly.
any tips?

It appears to be random.

And what is the point of a wedding arch??...Ive never seen it used

Toilet paper might help. Separate them best you can. Put work stations as far apart as possible with divider walls if room permits. try to improve their mood in other ways, Different working hours and meal times might help. Experiment! Finding solutions to these problems is what makes this game interesting for me.

Those little glowing mushrooms add light and some like them as decorations.

I've used it in all three of my play throughs that I did until the end. On my second go I had two of them get married in the first half of the first year..

For me it usually happens to people who work near each other. Say 2 crafters that are always next to each other for months.

They really gotta modify the mechanic. I get stranded on a buncha strangers on an alien world and I'm gonna hook up as fast as possible....(too much?)

It's possible as the game goes in months/years pretty fast. Not as if you get a wedding in a week or less. Maybe in vegas... E.g Abuse victims "fall" in love with their abusers, etc. Even in real life. Get out of your bubble already. Life is stranger than fiction.

I reload if I see someone get hooked. Bad idea from rimworld experience.

Never played rimworld but in this game I have had zero issues with my married couples. They are always the happiest (as long as you make sure they are sleeping side by side in the same room).

-14 when one of them go home first or go sleep with others.
Couple don't stay together all the time.

One of them keep hitting on another woman.

Marriage in this game is pointless apart from a happiness boost. I think it's just been included as a political statement as most of the time they are gay marriages.

Ah, that answers my question. I have an all female squad and some of them like each other really much but don´t seem to be interested into more. Was wondering if I do anything wrong or if homosexuality doesn´t exist in this game.

But yeah, the abscense of double beds is really awckward.

Que the Isle of Lesbos. Bonus points that people from Lesbos are Lesbians but do not necessarily identify as lesbian.

Vroom, to be the fly on the wall in Paradise Island.

Two that agree to get together will become fianced then the next step will be to be married with the wedding arch. A time will be set similar to the music night for all to attend. Ensure the two are close to the arch at the time of the event because if one is late, sleeping, etc, then the wedding will be postponed for a later date (rinse and repeat many times).

Note: When you need to have them sleeping together to avoid a happiness reducer you need to have two beds side by side. Therefore, always have one larger room prepped/available with a path to both sides.

Have them craft next to each other, both be builders, etc. Their personalities in their descriptions plays a lot to do with it as well. My most frequent is Krista and one I cannot remember the name of at the moment (the Expedition junky - gets a boost when expeditioning/also starts with decent construction skills and zero combat skills). I place the crafting bench for him by her research bench.

One of the info boxes shows who you like and dislike as in a plus minus thing. When you get one something like +64 and that one feels the same, you could try putting them in the same room, assign same jobs, see if that works.
