Murderous rage, Gave up, run wild.

♥♥♥♥ these stupid STUPID ASS EVENTS! They happen waaaaaay to often to, if there a mod or a way in the Dev mode to turn this stupid ♥♥♥♥ off, because if my pawns dont want to be in the game over stupid ♥♥♥♥ then why should I even play it???

[Astasia]

Those are extreme breaks, they only happen if you basically bottom out mood completely. You really should never be seeing them, it usually takes effort to get mood that low.

You can cheat in the scenario settings to give yourself permanent mood boosts if you really don't want to pay any attention at all to your colonist's wellbeing.

[MayoCulpa]

Exactly. Extreme breaks only happen if your pawns are, say, tired AND hungry AND in pain AND have seen friends die or lots of rotten corpses AND too cold or too hot AND a host of other things as well.

Mood management IS doable. But it's something to keep in mind and prioritize which shapes all the decisions you make about everything else. In a way it's a measurement of how effective your colony design is as a living space.

Rooms that are clean, spacious and pretty, comfortable temperatures, fine meals (or at least, competently cooked ones), quality medical care, tables to eat from, games to play, a notable lack of dead bodies cluttering up the place - your colonists need these things. The colony, for them, exists to provide those comforts. Otherwise they won't bother working for you. From their perspective they might as well give up on the colony and go be a wild person living in a cave because their life won't be any worse.

Social drugs can help as a stopgap in an emergency, like if they got wounded in battle and saw a couple friends die. But most of the time having a colony that fulfills their needs is plenty to keep them happy.

Why do I get the feeling someone just decided to start the game first run on high difficulty settings possible and then decided tables are optional?

[Rosario]

There are mods to disable events like that, as well as at least one that makes it to where a colonist needs a serious mood killer to go into the more serious breaks, rather than being like 'rar, I wanna kill Jolene because I couldn't eat at a table and my room is crap.' and a bunch of other small inconveniences.

Eating without a table is a crime I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.

[MayoCulpa]

I wanna get the mod that makes ate without table -35, that would amuses me mightily.

There would be tables. *spreads arms dramatically* Tables everywhere!

I just did a "100" Challenge, and oh my god!! everyone is always trying to kill someone and someone is always running with the animals and so many people just said ♥♥♥♥ this and left and I'm like why am I even here?

This is the mod you're looking for. It's a life saver.

[MayoCulpa]

Yeeees that's the one thanks KalkiKrosah! Should probably wait to add it till I start a brand new game, cause where's the fun if the tables are already built, right?

I dunno what a "100" challenge is but it sounds like a large amount of otherwise avoidable suffering, I am interested >_> Would you explain how this challenge works, Omega?

[Rosario]

Here's the mod I was thinking of! Pawns will need some real issues before they snap so brutally, and not just micro-transgressions.

1. Use Dub's Break Mod
2. Don't push your pawns too hard, give them some time to relax, enjoy themselves, roll bunch of joints/blunts for them, brew some beer, build statues, flower pots.

It's not that difficuilt in the mid-game, at the early game I had same issue as well, I was pushing my pawns too hard, because of incoming zombie hordes, raids, other creatures and I had to push them, so they would build walls and defenses without eating and sleeping.
But now my colony looks like an park, flowers, statues, buildings built with precious resources everywhere. Also I'm letting my pawns to take one drink and one joint of pot per day, so if for some reason things are bad, they just enjoy a drink, or a smoke and their mood is back up.

Obviously you're not here to take care of your pawn's needs. :b

[Preechr]

Beds to sleep in, tables to eat at, food to eat and a little time each day scheduled so they can play horseshoes... What is so hard about this? I really don't get it.

If you are new to the game and getting frustrated because you haven't yet figured out how to play it well, just say that. Coming on here and ranting/raving about basic features of the gameplay just makes you look like an idiot.

Well you see people can come on here to ask about other mods, if they want. Talk trash, if they want. Ask for help, if they want. Also can gripe at game features they dont like, if they want.

I know this may be hard for someone like you to understand that everyone can do WHATEVER THEY WANT.

Had beds, had tables, everyone had 2 hours of joy time, horseshoes and chess. Also keep in mind like I said earlier I did the 100 challenge so it wasnt some run of the mill game.
