v50.12 · v0.47.05 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:
- Level-headed
- Unfettered
- Untroubled
- Not distracted
- Distracted
- Unfocused
