[SPOILER] Orbital Station Mental health

[pieterdepieter]

Hey Guys

I'm doing the mission where I need 14 days of max mental health. SO I max out mental heatlh with the psych wards. the counter doesnt start. I'm at 414 and I need 413.3
then suddenly the max rises, I don't know why since I didnt add anymore people? so I build extra psych wards. Now i'm way over the max, still the counter doesnt start. couple of months later, still I didnt add any people, the mental health needs rises again...
I'm maxed out on space and half of it is psych wards which can't be right.
what do I need more to start the counter

I'm thinking there's something you're not seeing, like you might be over your available manpower, adding more psych wards will never help if you can't man them. Turn off some of these atomic generators and such until you trigger the milestone if it's the case. I only needed 3-4 on my first playthrough.
If it looks like it's bugged, try save/reload, I have one particular nasty bug with ground building that is solved doing that. ♥
The max might be rising because you've had newborns in your colonies, or your production might be lowering because you're lacking vitamins and suddenly you run out.
Just throwing out a few ideas, but it's really hard to say when people give barely any details on a forum, no screenshot, and are a bit butthurt over it not working.

I'm not buthurt. Anyway, with some testing, it kicked in when I imported more wine.
I think the prestige has to be higher for the mental state to lower. even though I was over the max.. couple of weeks later it also lowered from + 400 to +200
