Deviants' mood stuck at 0 and stop working despite meeting all requirements

[Soloistair]

As per what the title said, I woke up finding all of my electric eel stop working with max deviant power and somehow 0 mood. All the recovery requirements were met so I am not sure if this is a bug and if anyone else has this problem?

Found a few of my deviants had negative traits that seemed to bring down the whole gathering crew. No one was collecting. I pulled the deviants that were being debbie downers and we'll see...

Can confirm this solved my issue as digboys are already coming back with loot in under 10 minutes. Check your traits!

I got this problem yesterday, and noticed it after I through in some new deviants, specifically the Siamese Cat, with the trait Daydream - Moonlit Jewels. Whenever the cat recovers energy, it has a 20% chance to restore 15 power to other deviants. If your deviants are constantly getting more power, then they are never dormant (resting) hence zero Mood. I can confirm, that when I took the Siamese out, the problem was solved. Not sure if the devs intentionally designed it this way. OFc you could have an army of deviants that work nonstop. They'll just be depressed AF.

I had this problem mostly all territory ones that all mood is 0. This happens like 2-3 days back. Not sure if there a bug or what they all gather on one corner at the last floor of my base.

This was it for me too, thank you

I had a cat (just a regular colored cat) with the golden trait Anti-Burnout, that one drains the mood too in the same way;
'when the deviation is dormant and regaining deviant power, there is a 20% chance that other territorial deviations receive deviant power +5'.
Having the Rebecca deviant out didn't help either to counter that effect (she helps with faster deviant mood and power recovery if the environment is optimized). I must say though, they all kept working with zero mood, so not too sure if it bothers me if I really run low on resources. I just don't like hearing my bees buzz angrily the whole time.

I think I know what the cause of the draining our deviations mood to 0. I pull back my Siamese cat with full 3 trait and most of my deviation mood is recovering. Some player said is paper doll but not sure if the cause of it but I pull back both.

NooOOoOooO it was the freakin' Siamese cat. I took everyone out.. and put everyone back but the cat.. and they got happy again. I just tossed her back in her box.. and see if they.. stay happy.

I'm convinced that sometimes the securement units bug out. In those instances it's best to demolish them and rebuild them OR move the deviation in question to another unit and see if the issue persists. Traits can muck with your other deviations as well so be careful what you put into a unit.

DOUBLE NOOOOOO.. I PUT THE CAT BACK AND EVERYTHING STARTED GOING BACK DOWN.. IT'S THE SIAMASE CAT! (REPORTS BUG) NOOOO.. I WANT TO KEEP THIS CAT FOREVER

pull the deviant and move to another container.

this works, but just as a temporary fix, they go back to 0 mood as soon as they leave the containment unit

PS: sorry for the necro posting, didn't find another post about this

I don't think I've ever posted in a Steam discussion board until today. You, my friend, solved it for me and I can't thank you enough. It never even clued in to me, was happy showing off my cats different skin and low and behold, IT WAS CAUSING HAVOC.

Seriously, anyone with this issue, check your cat. The trait keeps powering up your deviants, causing them to rarely ever go dormant (or at least not for long enough to recharge them).

Found a strange solution. I had a deviant from the holyday box - a trans dimensional cat. With skill restoring 15% energy to all deviants in house with 20% chance. So, this cat literally held all my deviants at max energy 24/7. As a result they never rested and never restored mood. Removed damned cat and everything working fine now,
