DF2014:List of thoughts

v50.14 · v0.47.05 · v0.34 · v0.31 · v0.28 · v0.23 This article is about an older version of DF. More Info · V

There are 225 possible thoughts that can be experienced. Some of these thoughts never actually occur in the game, but are placeholders for things that have yet to be implemented (or were present in earlier versions but subsequently removed). Certain thoughts have subtypes, the most common ones being relationship specifiers.

Thoughts marked as "Tragedy" have their happiness penalties reduced based on the dwarf's combat hardness - somebody who "doesn't care about anything anymore" will receive the minimum penalty listed.

Each type of thought has a cooldown period, during which subsequent instances of the thought simply override the current instance.

After 1.5 months, the happiness bonus/penalty for the thought is cut in half (and rounded up) unless noted otherwise; after 3 months, the thought is forgotten.
