'''Thoughts''' are the reported observations and sentiments of the {{l|Dwarves}} in {{l|Fortress Mode}}.  Over the course of play, a dwarf will experience things that make them more or less happy, with each experience recorded and displayed as a Thought.  The rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by {{l|personality}}.

Over time dwarves will experience things that makes them more or less happy, with each experience being recorded as a thought (in the latest version of DF, the rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by personality modifiers).  If a dwarf becomes unhappy enough, s/he might {{L|tantrum}}.  If the overall happiness level of your fortress is low enough then a single tantruming dwarf can trigger a dreaded "tantrum spiral".  A separate article has advice on {{L|keeping your dwarves happy}}.

The change in {{L|Status icon|status}} that triggers bad thoughts about thirst, hunger, and fatigue can also slow the speed at which a dwarf works and moves.

Dwarven psychology is relatively simple.  There are Good Thoughts and Bad Thoughts.  Lots of Good Thoughts will make your dwarves ecstatic {{l|party|party animals}} who have lots of {{l|children}}.  Too many Bad Thoughts and your dwarvese will throw {{L|tantrum|tantrums}}.  Too many tantrums and the Bad Thoughts will {{l|Fun|spread}}.  If you wish to avoid Bad Thoughts, please consult ways of {{L|keeping your dwarves happy}}.

To view a dwarf's recent thoughts and current happiness level, press {{key|k}}, move the cursor to the dwarf, and press {{key|enter}} twice.  (Or {{key|v}}, move to the dwarf, then {{key|z}} and {{key|enter}}.)  Now you will see a page describing the dwarf's feelings and thoughts, physical description, and a set of phrases describing personality traits.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Thoughts are the reported observations and sentiments of the Template:L in Template:L. Over the course of play, a dwarf will experience things that make them more or less happy, with each experience recorded and displayed as a Thought. The rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by Template:L.


Dwarven psychology is relatively simple. There are Good Thoughts and Bad Thoughts. Lots of Good Thoughts will make your dwarves ecstatic Template:L who have lots of Template:L. Too many Bad Thoughts and your dwarvese will throw Template:L. Too many tantrums and the Bad Thoughts will Template:L. If you wish to avoid Bad Thoughts, please consult ways of Template:L.

The change in Template:L that triggers bad thoughts about thirst, hunger, and fatigue can also slow the speed at which a dwarf works and moves. To view a dwarf's recent thoughts and current happiness level, press k, move the cursor to the dwarf, and press enter twice. (Or v, move to the dwarf, then z and enter.) Now you will see a page describing the dwarf's feelings and thoughts, physical description, and a set of phrases describing personality traits.

A dwarf's level of happiness will affect the type of Template:L they fall into should they be chosen for one.

Upset by not having enough (chests/cabinets/weapon racks/armor stands) lately Noble doesn't have enough of their position's furniture requirements.
