I have had fairly good results with just using decor to keep stress at almost zero for the majority of the colony lifespan. You will want to use someone who has some creativity as a stat or set a few to just do art under the jobs menu to alleviate having a whole slew of crayon drawn pictures littering the hallways.

F8 can help you figure out which things give positives and negative bonuses. I hang pictures pretty much any place my workers are going to be moving or hanging out or even sleeping. The stress will literally fall away as long as they are in the area doing things.

Some materials give a bonus to decor so use those for building once you get enough ( i.e. granite, etc.)

Stay away from heavy wiring, it is a decor killer unless you absolutely need it.

There are many ways to keep stress low but with the germ update, you are forced to either keep stress low and risk germ outbreak or have it mildy high and germs contained. Granite and Sandstone are the 2 materials when used give a deco buff. Granite has the highest deco buff but it also has a high heat conductivity so you can risk cooking your base if abused.

As long as the deco spread is high, the stress will naturally drop but there are things that increase the stress gained. Examples are: food quality below their standards, soggy feed/body, cant breath, low deco.

Just spam artwork every few tiles in your base. My standard "room" height is 4 tiles so artwork fits nicely above most things. Using the jobs panel turn off anyone with a creativity lower than 4 and you'll always produce masterpieces, and make them out of granite for the decor bonus.

You'll still want a massage table or two in case dupes spend a long time swimming in polluted water or hanging around heavy wiring but for the most part stress will never be an issue.

Spam art or use a custom game with optimistic dupes
