This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.


Needs affect a creature's focus. Needs that are unmet for long enough will become bad thoughts.

Needs are affected by personality traits. For instance, a dwarf that values romance will be unfocused after "being unable to make romance", while a dwarf that personally values nature will be unfettered after "seeing animals".

Needs are shown in a dwarf's thoughts and preferences description page, which can be accessed by viewing that dwarf then p, z, Enter, or from the unit menu with view, Enter.

Degree of focus/unfocus:

  • Unfettered
  • Level-headed
  • Untroubled
  • Not distracted
  • Unfocused
  • Distracted
  • Badly distracted
