Is there a page that talks about the actual effects of being distracted? If so, why is it not linked here? I would add a section on it but I came here to find out. [[User:Pyrite|Pyrite]] ([[User talk:Pyrite|talk]]) 19:13, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

:Here's a quote from the devlog on 04/12/2015:
 
 
::I also added some more information for the status of needs and in what way the relevant dwarf is being affected (either positively or negatively). Aside from the stress a needy dwarf can get from really being locked away and neglected, they also become distracted and less proficient at every task they perform when they have unmet needs. On the other side, a dwarf that has the balance of their needs satisfied will perform tasks more successfully (in addition to the positive emotions and stress reduction they get the moment a need is satisfied). Theoretically, the dwarf can go up to 150% and down as low as 50% in their effective skills, but in reality it'll be a much smaller effect either way -- it is difficult to fully satisfy every need at once (or impossible, if there are enough needs), and at the same time, needs don't become unsatisfied quickly and some are easily met. Multiple needs can also be satisifed with a single action (like "keep myself occupied" and "do someting creative").
 
 
:Things may have changed since 2015, but at least it's a start.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 01:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
