'''Stress''' is a condition that is similar to unhappiness in earlier versions. It will cause the dwarf to flash with a downward red arrow, and {{DFtext|Over the long term, Urist McStressed has been under a great deal of stress.|6:1}} will show on their [[thoughts and preferences]] tab.

Dwarves under stress for long periods of time will develop worse symptoms of stress level: {{DFtext|Urist McStressed has become haggard and drawn due to the tremendous stresses placed on him.|4:1}}. In the short-term, excessive levels of stress will lead to temporary '''emotional breakdowns''' - throwing [[tantrum]]s, slipping into [[depression]], or stumbling around [[oblivious]]ly. In the long-term, excessive levels of stress may lead to '''[[insanity]]'''.

Under even greater stress for prolonged periods of time, dwarves will become Harrowed, their thoughts and preferences tab reading: {{DFtext|Urist McStressed has been utterly harrowed by the nightmare that is his tragic life.|5:1}}

Animals can also be stressed, which seems to happen when an animal has been constrained for a long time.

Internally, stress level is tracked with one number, where a negative number is good and a positive number is bad. It is not possible to view this number without third-party [[utilities]].

Stress ranges from -1000000 to +1000000, and the negative effects start appearing at +10000, +25000, and +50000.

Stress itself gradually increases or decreases based on the emotions visible on the dwarf's Thoughts and Preferences screen - it basically adds up all of the positive emotions (to reduce stress) and the negative emotions (to increase stress) with appropriate weights on each one (since some emotions are much stronger than others), caps the two sums at 500, adjusts the stress boost based on the dwarf's Stress Vulnerability personality trait, then takes the difference and adds it to the dwarf's current stress level.

== Stress factors ==
Stress is affected by the [[emotion]]s a dwarf experiences upon encountering certain circumstances; these encounters are temporarily shown as [[thought]]s in the dwarf's [[profile]], though the resulting stress can linger long after the thoughts are gone. The strength of the emotions (and the resulting stress values) vary based on the dwarf's [[personality]]. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=170698.0 Controlled testing] has shown that these sources of stress build up less in dwarves with high [BRAVERY] and low [STRESS_VULNERABILITY]. [ANXIETY_PROPENSITY] affects the rate at which dwarves dissipate stress. For example, being out in the sun seems to affect dwarves quite strongly in terms of stress.

Emotions and the level of stress or stress relief they cause are detailed in the table of [[emotion]]s. Note that one event may cause different emotions for different dwarves (and, occasionally, for the same dwarf). The exact mechanisms of how it's decided what emotions are to follow are as of yet unclear, but there's a general consensus that it depends on both severity of factors and the personality of the dwarf in question.

Here is a partial table of emotions and what they can be caused by:

== Managing Stress ==
{{mod|section}}
{{old|v=0.47.01}}
Here is a general guide on [[DF2014:Keeping_your_dwarves_unstressed|keeping your dwarves unstressed]].

In v0.44.12 stress is bugged and very difficult to manage; dealing with it in-game typically involves a lot of micromanaging, which is decidedly un-fun. The problems include dwarves not socializing properly, requiring very specific food because it's their favorite, being away from family without any way for them to visit, and obsessively mulling over negative thoughts from rain, snow and seeing corpses, all of which lead to stress. Often those negative thoughts compound and heavily outweigh any positive thoughts they also have, leading to a fort where nobody works at anything but [[Tantrum|trying to kill each other]], but there are many workarounds; here are some helpful tips for dealing with stress in '''v0.44.12'''.

=== Altering the raws ===

* The easiest method is to alter the [[raw file]]s that control stress vulnerability. The dwarven file is found at /raw/objects/creature_standard.txt. Inside that file under ``[CREATURE:DWARF]``, you will find {{token|PERSONALITY|creature|STRESS_VULNERABILITY:0:45:100}}. These numbers are dwarves' minimum (0), average (45), and maximum (100) capacity for stress. Changing these values will cap stress vulnerability on all dwarves - for instance, ``0:30:70`` would limit the [[Personality_trait#Facets|maximum stress possible]] to the range of "High", meaning that you can still get stress problems, but to a more manageable degree. Making the values ``0:0:0`` would make all dwarves immune to stress entirely. You do not need to generate a new world for this to work (if you want this fix to apply to an existing save, edit the raw file in data/save/(your world)/raw/objects instead).
* Another large source of stress is seeing corpses, cleaning up after a battle can stack stress from the {{DFtext|horrified|4:1}} emotion. A way to prevent this is to edit the Dwarf [[raw file]]s by adding the tag {{token|NATURAL_SKILL|creature|DISCIPLINE:#}}, where # is a value 1-15. ``[NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:5]`` would make all dwarves [[Skill#Skill_level_names|Proficient]] in [[Discipline]], making them able to see and handle corpses without major effects. Making the value ``[NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:15]`` would make them all [[Skill#Skill_level_names|Legendary]] in [[Discipline]], making them effectively immune to stress from corpses as well as preventing panic in battle.
* Weather is a huge cause of negative thoughts because dwarves hate nature and don't like to be rained on. Weather can be disabled by changing ``[WEATHER:YES]`` to ``[WEATHER:NO]`` in [[d_init.txt]]. The [[Utility:Lazy Newb Pack|Lazy Newb Pack]] also offers a control to toggle weather.

=== DFHack Solutions ===

If you are using [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] there are several helpful terminal commands you can run to improve your situation.

* The command ``remove-stress -all`` will reset all units in your fort to -1,000,000 stress.
* The command ``fillneeds -all`` will fill the unmet needs of all units in your fort. Running this along with ``remove-stress -all`` will prevent almost any stress problems in a fort for at least a few months. It is recommended to run these two commands whenever stress is starting to get out of control.
* The command ``brainwash`` will permanently alter a single selected unit's personality. There are several options, including ``ideal``, ``baseline``, and ``stepford``. ``brainwash ideal`` will make a unit generally positive, ``brainwash baseline`` will make all traits average and ``brainwash stepford`` amplifies all good qualities to an excessive degree. Using ``ideal`` and ``stepford`` are probably the best options for stress management.
* The command ``assign-skills -skills [ DISCIPLINE 14 ]`` will make the selected unit a grand master of discipline, which should stop the freakouts over violence and dead bodies. Note the spaces before and after the square brackets.

=== Vanilla Options ===

For those who don't want to use DFHack or edit the raws, you can try to [[Emigration|exile]] all dwarves with stress problems. To expel a dwarf, {{K|v}}iew their {{K|p}}rofessions, and choose {{K|e}}xpel.

'''Problems with exiling'''
* Nobles can't be exiled
* Children can't be exiled directly (but may be exiled indirectly if a family member is exiled)
* Some dwarves can't be exiled because of a [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=10848 "Child is not present" bug].
* Exiled (and stressed) dwarves from one player fortress will often show up in a new fortress in the same world, making it very hard to have multiple fortresses without having major stress problems.
* Some exiled dwarves have been reported to return to a fort, it's unclear if by migration wave or as visitors. This is rare and hasn't been verified but it is a possible bug that needs research.{{verify}}

If you don't want to exile dwarves, it is worth remembering that stress prevention is far more important than mitigation, since mitigating negative thoughts is almost impossible without a turn-around in the dwarf's personality. This includes making sure that no dwarf that is not a corpse-hauler sees a dead sapient, resolving sieges via strategic use of traps that dispose of invader corpses as well as kill them (duh), and limiting the amount of indictments where possible (since beatings cause the "experiencing trauma" thought, which can make a dwarf more vulnerable to stress).

Soldiers are especially prone to stress, considering the myriad negative thoughts that can come from seeing sapients die/their corpses, experiencing trauma and various other troubles. This can be circumvented by hardening these soldiers to combat through the strategic use of captured animals. Dwarves are hardened through combat by being involved in the battlefield, so this offers a stress-free way to protect your dwarves and their mental states against the tide of greenskin corpses that will inevitably pile up.

If you still happen to have problems with stress, remember that giving birth to a child/becoming a parent both give extremely strong happy thoughts, and may be what your dwarf needs to come back from the brink. If you don't care about them being stressed but don't want them to go insane, having completed a dream (i.e dreams of creating a great work of art) prevents the dwarf from ever going insane, with the exception of failing a strange mood (this does not prevent tantrums).

== Detailed mechanics ==
{{old|v=0.47.05}}
=== How stress works ===

First to bust a myth: [[discipline]] is not an indicator of how well a dwarf copes with stressful situations, but there is a correlation that will be explained below.

When a dwarf experiences an emotion, whether from an immediate experience or from revisiting a long term memory, a certain number of points, which will be called "stress points" are added to that dwarf's "stress score". The dwarf keeps a running tally of their stress points, determining their mood. Unhappy thoughts add to the stress score, happy thoughts subtract from the stress score. It is confirmed that there are only two things that affect stress: the emotions that a dwarf experiences, each of which are shown on the thoughts and preferences screen, and a return towards a neutral point over time.

There are three key personality traits which determine a dwarf's propensity to experience stress: bravery, which determines how fast a dwarf accumulates stress; stress vulnerability, which determines how much stress a dwarf can experience before breaking [note 4]; and anxiety, which determines how fast a dwarf dissipates stress. A fourth trait, depression propensity, seems to be related to the difficulty of recovering an unhappy dwarf, but requires additional testing.

There are some experiences which have a constant and predictable effect across all dwarves and others that are much more variable. In assessing the impact of an experience on a dwarf's stress score, a key measure is whether or not the resulting emotion was promoted to a dwarf's long term memory, as these tend to be the stronger emotions and are those that are revisited.

The results below are taken from a sample of 300 dwarves across 3 fortresses, where all dwarves had been in their fortress for more than 2 years. The fortresses were designed to 'molly-coddle' the dwarves, shielding them as much as possible from rain, death, corpses and miasma, and promoting happy thoughts as much as possible (after year 2, because it took 2 years and 5 migrant waves to reach that point with the infrastructure). The fortresses each had 150+ dwarves and had been run for 7 years. The overall mood of the fortresses after 7 years was 45% happy to ecstatic, 55% fine, less than 1% unhappy (4 dwarves in total).

=== Stress reducers ===
==== Bedrooms ====
More than 99% of dwarves had short-term memories of feeling blissful sleeping in a bedroom like a personal palace, 89% were also experiencing long-term memories of remembering feeling blissful about their bedroom. This was achieved by giving them a 3x3 engraved bedroom.

==== Dining room ====
88% of dwarves had short-term memories of feeling blissful eating in a legendary dining room, 70% were also experiencing long term memories of remembering feeling blissful about their dining room. This was achieved by digging out a 15 x 20 room and designating it as a dining room, it doesn't take much to impress them in this regard, but to force them to eat there you have to restrict placing unallocated tables anywhere else in the fortress.

==== Meaningful work ====
93% of dwarves were satisfied at work, 62% had long term memories of being satisfied at work. Curiously, a number of dwarves had two memories of being satisfied at work. Satisfaction is a low-strength emotion, so it is suspect that this is the result of a long-term memory being overwritten by a stronger short-term memory of a different group, then cycling back in again because it was a frequent experience always ready to be promoted back from short-term memory. From what was seen, hauling is not a satisfying job, but any job which enables a skill increase can be satisfying work, so long as it doesn't conflict with a dwarf's personality (for example a butcher will get unhappy thoughts if they have a deep respect for nature).

==== Military training ====
Military training is HUGE. After year 2 in each fortress, all dwarves were put into squads (no armour, no weapons) and scheduled each squad for one or two months of military training in a year. 93% of dwarves had happy long-term memories of something relating to their military training, with 34% having more than one positive long-term memory. Gratitude or pleasure from sparring was the most common, with interest in improving a military skill (wrestling, dodging, biting, kicking, etc.) and pride in teaching a military skill also widely present. Additionally several dwarves were satisfied remembering improving discipline and/or observation. The effect of military training in clogging long-term memory with happy thoughts correlating with an increase in discipline, which is a common association between high-discipline dwarves suffering from low stress. No dwarves had negative long-term memories, despite some not liking warfare or not respecting military skills. A fairly reliable method to turn around unhappy dwarves using military training was noted, which will be discussed further below.

==== Other things ====
All dwarves had access to masterwork clothing, walked past an indoor [[waterfall]] frequently, were able to acquire an item, read books, and walked past fine furniture frequently, but less than 25% of dwarves retained their thoughts about these things in long-term memory.

=== Stress increasers ===
The median number of unhappy long-term memories across the sample of dwarves was only 1, most of the things that they were unhappy about in the long-term were things that would eventually be promoted to core memory, death, miasma, trauma, etc. Their other stress increasers were less than 1% of dwarves: being annoyed or irritated remembering being accosted by vermin, 1 dwarf was uneasy remembering becoming a parent, 1 dwarf was annoyed remembering drinking without a mug, which is suspected to have been a lingering long term memory clogging their thoughts for several years, another was worried dwelling on not being able to help somebody and another was frustrated remembering the lack of traditions.

=== Mixed and/or variable effects on stress ===
==== Praying ====
77% had long-term memories of wonder or enrapture from praying, 10% had negative long-term memories from being unable to pray, some dwarves had both positive and negative long term memories about praying. All dwarves had multiple positive and negative short-term thoughts about praying and not being able to pray. The balance of positive to negative long-term memories shows the effect of dwarves being unable to hold more than one thought of the same group in their short-term memory. As long as they get to pray more than once a year, they'll have a strong positive short-term memory about a deity and won't have room in their short-term memory to retain the negative thoughts from not being able to pray to the multiple gods that they wanted to.

==== Performances ====
All dwarves had multiple short term memories about watching a performance or performing, however a minority of thoughts were negative (about 5% were bored or embarrassed). Only a few dwarves had long term memories related to performances/performing, all positive.

==== Arguments ====
Short-term memories about being upset getting into an argument were ubiquitous, and most dwarves had multiple short-term memories about arguing. However, only 3 dwarves were angry remembering getting into an argument (although 1 dwarf was exhilarated remembering this).

=== Things that didn't matter ===
Some things were ubiquitous in dwarves' short-term memories, but didn't appear at all in long term memories, these are often the things that worry players seemingly more than the dwarves themselves. These were: being away from family, being away from friends, being sad at being separated from a loved one, not having decent meals, being unable to craft an item, and being unable to wander.

=== Recovering unhappy dwarves ===
From time to time, some dwarves would get stressed. In one testing, an accident with a 'malfunctioning' atom smasher occurred, which rained rotten body parts and gore all over the farmers. A dwarf in a strange mood was accidentally made to go berserk after the misapplication of a burrow command, several dwarves and their pets died of old age - usually in the middle of high-traffic corridors, and there were the usual unavoidable mishaps with visitors turning werebeast, trying to stage a coup, etc. Typically, around 10% of dwarves registered positive stress scores, with around 3% being unhappy that would be actively be made to recover.

The first approach to trying to recover the stressed-out dwarves was to give them special attention and try to satisfy any unmet needs, in an attempt to overwrite some low-strength unhappy memories with happy memories. This had mixed results, was slow and took a lot of micromanagement. It would typically take about 2 years to turn around a mildly stressed dwarf.

During testing, a far more reliable and quick method to turn around stressed-out dwarves was found, using military training, in the form of a special "Therapy" military squad which was assigned to train all year round, and the squad was set to active/training on the squad menu, however the squad was not assigned any barracks to train in. Any dwarf that was getting a bit down about things would be put into the Therapy Squad for a while. When a dwarf is scheduled to train, but has nowhere to train, they will actively seek to satisfy any needs. Rather than hang around with the "no job" label, they'll dash off to the tavern to socialise, the library to learn, the temple to pray or guildhall to increase their skills. It is far more effective, and easier to manage, than removing all of their tasks and hoping that they'll do something to cheer themselves up. It seems that they replace their duty to train with a duty to fulfill their needs.

After deploying this method and expanding it so that all dwarves got one month a year in which they were scheduled to train, but had no barracks, positive stress scores dropped to around 5%, with only 1 dwarf ever reaching the point of being unhappy (that particular dwarf being subjected to quite a lot of cycling up and down the stress levels to see what happened).

Of the 4 dwarves that became unhappy enough to be seemingly unrecoverable (3 from before the Therapy Squad method was discovered), all 4 dwarves had a depression propensity stat that was extremely low, meaning that they "were often sad and dejected". There were other dwarves in the fortresses with extreme depression propensities that didn't become unhappy, so it is unknown if this was a coincidence or whether it's just hard to turn around these dwarves once they reach an unhappy state.

=== Combat hardness and immunity to corpses/stress ===
There is a very old piece of code which measures the 'combat hardness value' of a dwarf. This value is listed as 'detachment' in [[Utilities#Dwarf_Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]], although it doesn't appear in the default grid views. Toady said that when a dwarf sees guts and stuff, including seeing people die, it increases their combat hardness which will eventually lead them to become immune to seeing corpses. This code predates the current stress system and is still active. Anecdotal reports of dwarves becoming immune to seeing corpses due to constant combat exist, which is why it was brought to question. It was attempted to bring some dwarves to the maximum state of "doesn't really care about anything anymore", but after 10 years of running a fortress with one squad dedicated to fighting goblins released from cages, only the intermediate level of "is a hardened individual" was reached. There was fighting indoors, so it required frequent breaks to remove corpses to prevent miasma. There was an attempt at discovering which aspects of the stress system would be overridden by combat hardness, which things would a dwarf become immune to? Would it be everything? Do they not feel happiness or unhappiness about anything anymore? Can a dwarf still go berserk? Trying to test that concurrently with the rest of the experiment didn't sit well alongside the molly-coddle approach, so it was not pursed further, but knowing the effect on all aspects of stress would be interesting.

Anecdotal evidence [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=177991.0] from version 0.47.05 seems to indicate that dwarves gain combat hardness much more quickly than they did in previous versions. Even without taking any special measures it seems common for most of the adult population to have some level of combat hardness, and it's not unusual for civilians who have never been in combat to reach the highest level of "doesn't really care about anything anymore".

=== Conclusion ===
To keep stress down, keep the things that end up in core memory to a minimum, or at least restrict the variety of strong unhappy memory groups that dwarves are exposed to in any particular year. In particular, seeing corpses, sentient things die, being exposed to miasma, rain and vomiting because of the sun. If you plan on fighting rather than turtling, plan to battle underground so that the dwarves aren't exposed to sun and rain at the same time as death and corpses. If a dwarf sees a corpse, get them hauling all of the corpses, as they'll only remember the first one. If they're exposed to rain, get them to do all of the outdoor work quickly and keep the rest of the dwarves dry. If you have to pick somebody to do unsavoury work, choose the dwarf(s) with the best mix of bravery, stress vulnerability and anxiety.

Clog a dwarf's long-term memory slots with happy thoughts that can't be promoted. Give them a big room to dine in very early on, even if they only have one table and chair to eat on, it'll still count, but get them enough chairs and tables as soon as possible. Give them a wide variety of things to have happy thoughts about, as multiple low-strength short-term memories have a chance at cycling out low-strength unhappy memories and preventing them from sticking. Put everybody in a military squad as soon as you can afford the labour, don't worry about weapons and armour, just get them training in any old dirt hole of a barracks for at least one month of the year (you might want to make sure that your mayor and trader are training over winter when there's no caravans or delegations). As soon as you can give everybody a 3x3 engraved bedroom, that's a sure-fire mood enhancer. Make sure that you have at least one temple and that the dwarves have a bit of downtime to pray.

'''Stress''' is a condition that is similar to unhappiness in earlier versions. It will cause the dwarf to flash with a downward red arrow, and {{DFtext|Over the long term, Urist McStressed has been under a great deal of stress.|6:1}} will show on their [[thoughts and preferences]] tab.

Dwarves under stress for long periods of time will develop worse symptoms of stress level: {{DFtext|Urist McStressed has become haggard and drawn due to the tremendous stresses placed on him.|4:1}}. In the short-term, excessive levels of stress will lead to temporary '''emotional breakdowns''' - throwing [[tantrum]]s, slipping into [[depression]], or stumbling around [[oblivious]]ly. In the long-term, excessive levels of stress may lead to '''[[insanity]]'''.

Under even greater stress for prolonged periods of time, dwarves will become Harrowed, their thoughts and preferences tab reading: {{DFtext|Urist McStressed has been utterly harrowed by the nightmare that is his tragic life.|5:1}}

Animals can also be stressed, which seems to happen when an animal has been constrained for a long time.

Internally, stress level is tracked with one number, where a negative number is good and a positive number is bad. It is not possible to view this number without third-party [[utilities]].

Stress ranges from -1000000 to +1000000, and the negative effects start appearing at +10000, +25000, and +50000.

Stress itself gradually increases or decreases based on the emotions visible on the dwarf's Thoughts and Preferences screen - it basically adds up all of the positive emotions (to reduce stress) and the negative emotions (to increase stress) with appropriate weights on each one (since some emotions are much stronger than others), caps the two sums at 500, adjusts the stress boost based on the dwarf's Stress Vulnerability personality trait, then takes the difference and adds it to the dwarf's current stress level.

== Stress factors ==
Stress is affected by the [[emotion]]s a dwarf experiences upon encountering certain circumstances; these encounters are temporarily shown as [[thought]]s in the dwarf's [[profile]], though the resulting stress can linger long after the thoughts are gone. The strength of the emotions (and the resulting stress values) vary based on the dwarf's [[personality]]. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=170698.0 Controlled testing] has shown that these sources of stress build up less in dwarves with high [BRAVERY] and low [STRESS_VULNERABILITY]. [ANXIETY_PROPENSITY] affects the rate at which dwarves dissipate stress. For example, being out in the sun seems to affect dwarves quite strongly in terms of stress.

Emotions and the level of stress or stress relief they cause are detailed in the table of [[emotion]]s. Note that one event may cause different emotions for different dwarves (and, occasionally, for the same dwarf). The exact mechanisms of how it's decided what emotions are to follow are as of yet unclear, but there's a general consensus that it depends on both severity of factors and the personality of the dwarf in question.

Here is a partial table of emotions and what they can be caused by:

== Managing Stress ==
{{mod|section}}
{{old|v=0.47.01}}
Here is a general guide on [[DF2014:Keeping_your_dwarves_unstressed|keeping your dwarves unstressed]].

In v0.44.12 stress is bugged and very difficult to manage; dealing with it in-game typically involves a lot of micromanaging, which is decidedly un-fun. The problems include dwarves not socializing properly, requiring very specific food because it's their favorite, being away from family without any way for them to visit, and obsessively mulling over negative thoughts from rain, snow and seeing corpses, all of which lead to stress. Often those negative thoughts compound and heavily outweigh any positive thoughts they also have, leading to a fort where nobody works at anything but [[Tantrum|trying to kill each other]], but there are many workarounds; here are some helpful tips for dealing with stress in '''v0.44.12'''.

=== Altering the raws ===

* The easiest method is to alter the [[raw file]]s that control stress vulnerability. The dwarven file is found at /raw/objects/creature_standard.txt. Inside that file under ``[CREATURE:DWARF]``, you will find {{token|PERSONALITY|creature|STRESS_VULNERABILITY:0:45:100}}. These numbers are dwarves' minimum (0), average (45), and maximum (100) capacity for stress. Changing these values will cap stress vulnerability on all dwarves - for instance, ``0:30:70`` would limit the [[Personality_trait#Facets|maximum stress possible]] to the range of "High", meaning that you can still get stress problems, but to a more manageable degree. Making the values ``0:0:0`` would make all dwarves immune to stress entirely. You do not need to generate a new world for this to work (if you want this fix to apply to an existing save, edit the raw file in data/save/(your world)/raw/objects instead).
* Another large source of stress is seeing corpses, cleaning up after a battle can stack stress from the {{DFtext|horrified|4:1}} emotion. A way to prevent this is to edit the Dwarf [[raw file]]s by adding the tag {{token|NATURAL_SKILL|creature|DISCIPLINE:#}}, where # is a value 1-15. ``[NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:5]`` would make all dwarves [[Skill#Skill_level_names|Proficient]] in [[Discipline]], making them able to see and handle corpses without major effects. Making the value ``[NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:15]`` would make them all [[Skill#Skill_level_names|Legendary]] in [[Discipline]], making them effectively immune to stress from corpses as well as preventing panic in battle.
* Weather is a huge cause of negative thoughts because dwarves hate nature and don't like to be rained on. Weather can be disabled by changing ``[WEATHER:YES]`` to ``[WEATHER:NO]`` in [[d_init.txt]]. The [[Utility:Lazy Newb Pack|Lazy Newb Pack]] also offers a control to toggle weather.

=== DFHack Solutions ===

If you are using [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] there are several helpful terminal commands you can run to improve your situation.

* The command ``remove-stress -all`` will reset all units in your fort to -1,000,000 stress.
* The command ``fillneeds -all`` will fill the unmet needs of all units in your fort. Running this along with ``remove-stress -all`` will prevent almost any stress problems in a fort for at least a few months. It is recommended to run these two commands whenever stress is starting to get out of control.
* The command ``brainwash`` will permanently alter a single selected unit's personality. There are several options, including ``ideal``, ``baseline``, and ``stepford``. ``brainwash ideal`` will make a unit generally positive, ``brainwash baseline`` will make all traits average and ``brainwash stepford`` amplifies all good qualities to an excessive degree. Using ``ideal`` and ``stepford`` are probably the best options for stress management.
* The command ``assign-skills -skills [ DISCIPLINE 14 ]`` will make the selected unit a grand master of discipline, which should stop the freakouts over violence and dead bodies. Note the spaces before and after the square brackets.

=== Vanilla Options ===

For those who don't want to use DFHack or edit the raws, you can try to [[Emigration|exile]] all dwarves with stress problems. To expel a dwarf, {{K|v}}iew their {{K|p}}rofessions, and choose {{K|e}}xpel.

'''Problems with exiling'''
* Nobles can't be exiled
* Children can't be exiled directly (but may be exiled indirectly if a family member is exiled)
* Some dwarves can't be exiled because of a [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=10848 "Child is not present" bug].
* Exiled (and stressed) dwarves from one player fortress will often show up in a new fortress in the same world, making it very hard to have multiple fortresses without having major stress problems.
* Some exiled dwarves have been reported to return to a fort, it's unclear if by migration wave or as visitors. This is rare and hasn't been verified but it is a possible bug that needs research.{{verify}}

If you don't want to exile dwarves, it is worth remembering that stress prevention is far more important than mitigation, since mitigating negative thoughts is almost impossible without a turn-around in the dwarf's personality. This includes making sure that no dwarf that is not a corpse-hauler sees a dead sapient, resolving sieges via strategic use of traps that dispose of invader corpses as well as kill them (duh), and limiting the amount of indictments where possible (since beatings cause the "experiencing trauma" thought, which can make a dwarf more vulnerable to stress).

Soldiers are especially prone to stress, considering the myriad negative thoughts that can come from seeing sapients die/their corpses, experiencing trauma and various other troubles. This can be circumvented by hardening these soldiers to combat through the strategic use of captured animals. Dwarves are hardened through combat by being involved in the battlefield, so this offers a stress-free way to protect your dwarves and their mental states against the tide of greenskin corpses that will inevitably pile up.

If you still happen to have problems with stress, remember that giving birth to a child/becoming a parent both give extremely strong happy thoughts, and may be what your dwarf needs to come back from the brink. If you don't care about them being stressed but don't want them to go insane, having completed a dream (i.e dreams of creating a great work of art) prevents the dwarf from ever going insane, with the exception of failing a strange mood (this does not prevent tantrums).

== Detailed mechanics ==
{{old|v=0.47.05}}
=== How stress works ===

First to bust a myth: [[discipline]] is not an indicator of how well a dwarf copes with stressful situations, but there is a correlation that will be explained below.

When a dwarf experiences an emotion, whether from an immediate experience or from revisiting a long term memory, a certain number of points, which will be called "stress points" are added to that dwarf's "stress score". The dwarf keeps a running tally of their stress points, determining their mood. Unhappy thoughts add to the stress score, happy thoughts subtract from the stress score. It is confirmed that there are only two things that affect stress: the emotions that a dwarf experiences, each of which are shown on the thoughts and preferences screen, and a return towards a neutral point over time.

There are three key personality traits which determine a dwarf's propensity to experience stress: bravery, which determines how fast a dwarf accumulates stress; stress vulnerability, which determines how much stress a dwarf can experience before breaking [note 4]; and anxiety, which determines how fast a dwarf dissipates stress. A fourth trait, depression propensity, seems to be related to the difficulty of recovering an unhappy dwarf, but requires additional testing.

There are some experiences which have a constant and predictable effect across all dwarves and others that are much more variable. In assessing the impact of an experience on a dwarf's stress score, a key measure is whether or not the resulting emotion was promoted to a dwarf's long term memory, as these tend to be the stronger emotions and are those that are revisited.

The results below are taken from a sample of 300 dwarves across 3 fortresses, where all dwarves had been in their fortress for more than 2 years. The fortresses were designed to 'molly-coddle' the dwarves, shielding them as much as possible from rain, death, corpses and miasma, and promoting happy thoughts as much as possible (after year 2, because it took 2 years and 5 migrant waves to reach that point with the infrastructure). The fortresses each had 150+ dwarves and had been run for 7 years. The overall mood of the fortresses after 7 years was 45% happy to ecstatic, 55% fine, less than 1% unhappy (4 dwarves in total).

=== Stress reducers ===
==== Bedrooms ====
More than 99% of dwarves had short-term memories of feeling blissful sleeping in a bedroom like a personal palace, 89% were also experiencing long-term memories of remembering feeling blissful about their bedroom. This was achieved by giving them a 3x3 engraved bedroom.

==== Dining room ====
88% of dwarves had short-term memories of feeling blissful eating in a legendary dining room, 70% were also experiencing long term memories of remembering feeling blissful about their dining room. This was achieved by digging out a 15 x 20 room and designating it as a dining room, it doesn't take much to impress them in this regard, but to force them to eat there you have to restrict placing unallocated tables anywhere else in the fortress.

==== Meaningful work ====
93% of dwarves were satisfied at work, 62% had long term memories of being satisfied at work. Curiously, a number of dwarves had two memories of being satisfied at work. Satisfaction is a low-strength emotion, so it is suspect that this is the result of a long-term memory being overwritten by a stronger short-term memory of a different group, then cycling back in again because it was a frequent experience always ready to be promoted back from short-term memory. From what was seen, hauling is not a satisfying job, but any job which enables a skill increase can be satisfying work, so long as it doesn't conflict with a dwarf's personality (for example a butcher will get unhappy thoughts if they have a deep respect for nature).

==== Military training ====
Military training is HUGE. After year 2 in each fortress, all dwarves were put into squads (no armour, no weapons) and scheduled each squad for one or two months of military training in a year. 93% of dwarves had happy long-term memories of something relating to their military training, with 34% having more than one positive long-term memory. Gratitude or pleasure from sparring was the most common, with interest in improving a military skill (wrestling, dodging, biting, kicking, etc.) and pride in teaching a military skill also widely present. Additionally several dwarves were satisfied remembering improving discipline and/or observation. The effect of military training in clogging long-term memory with happy thoughts correlating with an increase in discipline, which is a common association between high-discipline dwarves suffering from low stress. No dwarves had negative long-term memories, despite some not liking warfare or not respecting military skills. A fairly reliable method to turn around unhappy dwarves using military training was noted, which will be discussed further below.

==== Other things ====
All dwarves had access to masterwork clothing, walked past an indoor [[waterfall]] frequently, were able to acquire an item, read books, and walked past fine furniture frequently, but less than 25% of dwarves retained their thoughts about these things in long-term memory.

=== Stress increasers ===
The median number of unhappy long-term memories across the sample of dwarves was only 1, most of the things that they were unhappy about in the long-term were things that would eventually be promoted to core memory, death, miasma, trauma, etc. Their other stress increasers were less than 1% of dwarves: being annoyed or irritated remembering being accosted by vermin, 1 dwarf was uneasy remembering becoming a parent, 1 dwarf was annoyed remembering drinking without a mug, which is suspected to have been a lingering long term memory clogging their thoughts for several years, another was worried dwelling on not being able to help somebody and another was frustrated remembering the lack of traditions.

=== Mixed and/or variable effects on stress ===
==== Praying ====
77% had long-term memories of wonder or enrapture from praying, 10% had negative long-term memories from being unable to pray, some dwarves had both positive and negative long term memories about praying. All dwarves had multiple positive and negative short-term thoughts about praying and not being able to pray. The balance of positive to negative long-term memories shows the effect of dwarves being unable to hold more than one thought of the same group in their short-term memory. As long as they get to pray more than once a year, they'll have a strong positive short-term memory about a deity and won't have room in their short-term memory to retain the negative thoughts from not being able to pray to the multiple gods that they wanted to.

==== Performances ====
All dwarves had multiple short term memories about watching a performance or performing, however a minority of thoughts were negative (about 5% were bored or embarrassed). Only a few dwarves had long term memories related to performances/performing, all positive.

==== Arguments ====
Short-term memories about being upset getting into an argument were ubiquitous, and most dwarves had multiple short-term memories about arguing. However, only 3 dwarves were angry remembering getting into an argument (although 1 dwarf was exhilarated remembering this).

=== Things that didn't matter ===
Some things were ubiquitous in dwarves' short-term memories, but didn't appear at all in long term memories, these are often the things that worry players seemingly more than the dwarves themselves. These were: being away from family, being away from friends, being sad at being separated from a loved one, not having decent meals, being unable to craft an item, and being unable to wander.

=== Recovering unhappy dwarves ===
From time to time, some dwarves would get stressed. In one testing, an accident with a 'malfunctioning' atom smasher occurred, which rained rotten body parts and gore all over the farmers. A dwarf in a strange mood was accidentally made to go berserk after the misapplication of a burrow command, several dwarves and their pets died of old age - usually in the middle of high-traffic corridors, and there were the usual unavoidable mishaps with visitors turning werebeast, trying to stage a coup, etc. Typically, around 10% of dwarves registered positive stress scores, with around 3% being unhappy that would be actively be made to recover.

The first approach to trying to recover the stressed-out dwarves was to give them special attention and try to satisfy any unmet needs, in an attempt to overwrite some low-strength unhappy memories with happy memories. This had mixed results, was slow and took a lot of micromanagement. It would typically take about 2 years to turn around a mildly stressed dwarf.

During testing, a far more reliable and quick method to turn around stressed-out dwarves was found, using military training, in the form of a special "Therapy" military squad which was assigned to train all year round, and the squad was set to active/training on the squad menu, however the squad was not assigned any barracks to train in. Any dwarf that was getting a bit down about things would be put into the Therapy Squad for a while. When a dwarf is scheduled to train, but has nowhere to train, they will actively seek to satisfy any needs. Rather than hang around with the "no job" label, they'll dash off to the tavern to socialise, the library to learn, the temple to pray or guildhall to increase their skills. It is far more effective, and easier to manage, than removing all of their tasks and hoping that they'll do something to cheer themselves up. It seems that they replace their duty to train with a duty to fulfill their needs.

After deploying this method and expanding it so that all dwarves got one month a year in which they were scheduled to train, but had no barracks, positive stress scores dropped to around 5%, with only 1 dwarf ever reaching the point of being unhappy (that particular dwarf being subjected to quite a lot of cycling up and down the stress levels to see what happened).

Of the 4 dwarves that became unhappy enough to be seemingly unrecoverable (3 from before the Therapy Squad method was discovered), all 4 dwarves had a depression propensity stat that was extremely low, meaning that they "were often sad and dejected". There were other dwarves in the fortresses with extreme depression propensities that didn't become unhappy, so it is unknown if this was a coincidence or whether it's just hard to turn around these dwarves once they reach an unhappy state.

=== Combat hardness and immunity to corpses/stress ===
There is a very old piece of code which measures the 'combat hardness value' of a dwarf. This value is listed as 'detachment' in [[Dwarf Therapist]], although it doesn't appear in the default grid views. Toady said that when a dwarf sees guts and stuff, including seeing people die, it increases their combat hardness which will eventually lead them to become immune to seeing corpses. This code predates the current stress system and is still active. Anecdotal reports of dwarves becoming immune to seeing corpses due to constant combat exist, which is why it was brought to question. It was attempted to bring some dwarves to the maximum state of "doesn't really care about anything anymore", but after 10 years of running a fortress with one squad dedicated to fighting goblins released from cages, only the intermediate level of "is a hardened individual" was reached. There was fighting indoors, so it required frequent breaks to remove corpses to prevent miasma. There was an attempt at discovering which aspects of the stress system would be overridden by combat hardness, which things would a dwarf become immune to? Would it be everything? Do they not feel happiness or unhappiness about anything anymore? Can a dwarf still go berserk? Trying to test that concurrently with the rest of the experiment didn't sit well alongside the molly-coddle approach, so it was not pursed further, but knowing the effect on all aspects of stress would be interesting.

Anecdotal evidence [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=177991.0] from version 0.47.05 seems to indicate that dwarves gain combat hardness much more quickly than they did in previous versions. Even without taking any special measures it seems common for most of the adult population to have some level of combat hardness, and it's not unusual for civilians who have never been in combat to reach the highest level of "doesn't really care about anything anymore".

=== Conclusion ===
To keep stress down, keep the things that end up in core memory to a minimum, or at least restrict the variety of strong unhappy memory groups that dwarves are exposed to in any particular year. In particular, seeing corpses, sentient things die, being exposed to miasma, rain and vomiting because of the sun. If you plan on fighting rather than turtling, plan to battle underground so that the dwarves aren't exposed to sun and rain at the same time as death and corpses. If a dwarf sees a corpse, get them hauling all of the corpses, as they'll only remember the first one. If they're exposed to rain, get them to do all of the outdoor work quickly and keep the rest of the dwarves dry. If you have to pick somebody to do unsavoury work, choose the dwarf(s) with the best mix of bravery, stress vulnerability and anxiety.

Clog a dwarf's long-term memory slots with happy thoughts that can't be promoted. Give them a big room to dine in very early on, even if they only have one table and chair to eat on, it'll still count, but get them enough chairs and tables as soon as possible. Give them a wide variety of things to have happy thoughts about, as multiple low-strength short-term memories have a chance at cycling out low-strength unhappy memories and preventing them from sticking. Put everybody in a military squad as soon as you can afford the labour, don't worry about weapons and armour, just get them training in any old dirt hole of a barracks for at least one month of the year (you might want to make sure that your mayor and trader are training over winter when there's no caravans or delegations). As soon as you can give everybody a 3x3 engraved bedroom, that's a sure-fire mood enhancer. Make sure that you have at least one temple and that the dwarves have a bit of downtime to pray.

Moeteru: Added bug: egg-layers not inheriting attributes

{{Quality|Fine|04:31, 19 May 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

V0.31.01 introduced a system of inheritance and genetics to go along with the [[v0.31:Release_information#Appearances|appearance modifiers]], allowing children to inherit those from their parents. Apart from appearance modifiers, attributes can also be inherited, according to [[Main:Dwarf Fortress Talk|Dwarf Fortress Talk]] [http://www.bay12games.com/media/df_talk_8_transcript.html #8].

Genetic information is saved for every [[historical figure]], from which each culture derives a number of tissue colors and other appearance modifiers that are likely to be found on any given member of that culture. Abstract entity populations have a (currently mild?) impact on the histfig's genetic profile, drawing from 'subpopulations' which are the cause of eye and skin color being very similar or identical in any given region. In tissue colors, whether a color is dominant or recessive is determined by the color's position in the list of possible colors for that tissue. The first colors listed are dominant over the colors below them. Genes besides color do not have dominance and recessiveness at this time, to the point that there is apparently considerable room for development.

==Bugs==

* [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=176850.0 Experiments conducted in V0.47.04] have shown that attributes are not inherited by the offspring of egg-layers. It is unknown whether this also affects inheritance of appearance modifiers.

Emotion

Moeteru: Updated table with latest data from DFHack structures

{{quality|Superior}}{{av}}{{old}}

Dwarves have an emotional response to certain circumstances. Different dwarves have differing responses to the same circumstance due to their personalities. Recent emotion/circumstance pairs are listed in the [[Thoughts and Preferences]] screen. Different thoughts can have different strengths, depending on time elapsed and dwarven personality. This thought strength is then divided by the numbers given in the table.

Note that positive thoughts have a ''negative'' number, as they ''reduce'' stress. Numbers closer to 1 or -1 have the strongest effect on stress.

'''Personality traits''', or just '''personalities''', are made up of beliefs, goals, and facets, distinct from [[attributes]]. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are as yet unknown.

Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's [[thoughts and preferences]] description page, which can be accessed by {{k|v}}iewing that dwarf then {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}}, or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}.

'''Beliefs''' are what a creature values; examples include things like [[Personality_trait#TRADITION|tradition]] ("He holds the maintenance of tradition as one of the highest ideals"), [[Personality_trait#COOPERATION|cooperation]] ("...is thoroughly disgusted by cooperation"), and [[Personality_trait#SACRIFICE|sacrifice]] ("...believes that those who sacrifice for others should be deeply respected"), but '''personality facets''', on the other hand, are how a creature acts. So, an especially [[Personality_trait#ANGER_PROPENSITY|angry]] dwarf would have "He is in a constant state of internal rage", and one with low [[Personality_trait#ALTRUISM|altruism]] would have "She feels helping others is an imposition on her time". Beliefs and facets are capable of conflicting, but this doesn't mean they are incompatible. For instance, it's possible a dwarf will deeply value [[Personality_trait#ROMANCE|romance]] even though one of their personality facets prevents him/her from [[Personality_trait#LOVE_PROPENSITY|forming romantic bonds]]. This particular combination would show up in the thoughts and preferences screen as "He never falls in love or develops positive feelings toward anything, and he is bothered by this since he sees romance as one of the highest ideals". (Goals, however, are [[DF2014:Personality_trait#Goals|described below]]).

{{DFtext|She personally values romance, finds maintaining decorum a silly, fumbling waste of time, values tranquility and a peaceful day and doesn't care about art one way or another.|3:1}}

==Beliefs==
Each belief has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value range !! Values in range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| +41 to +50 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| +26 to +40 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| +11 to +25 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| −10 to +10 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| −25 to −11 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| −40 to −26 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| −50 to −41 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

Beliefs are also influenced by cultural values via the use of the VALUE [[entity token]]. For example, dwarven civilizations hold craftsdwarfship in the highest regard, whereas goblins hold the ideas of fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen. Beliefs, along with facets, dictate [[need]]s and the frequency in which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.

Beliefs can be changed through successful arguments. In adventure mode, this can be used to change the core beliefs of your adventurer (and by proxy some of your needs). Since you can argue for beliefs you don't actually hold, you can convince a person of a belief you want to hold, get into another argument over said belief, and acquiesce to their (new) position. Note that facets cannot be changed in this way, although they may be subject to changing due to events that happen in your adventure.{{verify}}

Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets — see below.

==Goals==

Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of goals and receive the notation of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. Goals would apparently ''not'' currently be limited to one per creature, but for some sort of oversight:[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8083871#msg8083871].

{| class="wikitable"
! Value range !! Values in range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| 91-100 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| 76-90 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| 61-75 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| 40-60 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| 25-39 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| 10-24 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| 0-9 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

The 40−60 range does not cause a report.

Facets are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY [[creature token]]. For example, dwarves are slightly more greedy than average with a median of 55 in that trait, whereas goblins aren't likely to help others out — their altruism median is a mere 25, and is capped at 50.

Facets also have an effect on which [[social skills]] are learned in social interaction, and determine whether certain actions may give a good or bad [[thought]]. Facets may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood.

Certain facets are capable of ''conflicting'' with the dwarf's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.

Moeteru: Added description for ATTAIN_RANK_IN_SOCIETY goal

__FORCETOC__
'''Personality traits''', or just '''personalities''', are made up of beliefs, goals, and facets, distinct from [[attributes]]. In general, personality traits do not have as important a gameplay effect as attributes, though many of the gameplay effects of personality traits are as yet unknown.

Personality traits are shown in a dwarf's [[thoughts and preferences]] description page, which can be accessed by {{k|v}}iewing that dwarf then {{k|p}}, {{k|z}}, {{k|Enter}}, or from the {{k|u}}nit menu with {{k|v}}iew, {{k|Enter}}.

'''Beliefs''' are what a creature values; examples include things like [[Personality_trait#TRADITION|tradition]] ("He holds the maintenance of tradition as one of the highest ideals"), [[Personality_trait#COOPERATION|cooperation]] ("...is thoroughly disgusted by cooperation"), and [[Personality_trait#SACRIFICE|sacrifice]] ("...believes that those who sacrifice for others should be deeply respected"), but '''personality facets''', on the other hand, are how a creature acts. So, an especially [[Personality_trait#ANGER_PROPENSITY|angry]] dwarf would have "He is in a constant state of internal rage", and one with low [[Personality_trait#ALTRUISM|altruism]] would have "She feels helping others is an imposition on her time". Beliefs and facets are capable of conflicting, but this doesn't mean they are incompatible. For instance, it's possible a dwarf will deeply value [[Personality_trait#ROMANCE|romance]] even though one of their personality facets prevents him/her from [[Personality_trait#LOVE_PROPENSITY|forming romantic bonds]]. This particular combination would show up in the thoughts and preferences screen as "He never falls in love or develops positive feelings toward anything, and he is bothered by this since he sees romance as one of the highest ideals". (Goals, however, are [[DF2014:Personality_trait#Goals|described below]]).

{{DFtext|She personally values romance, finds maintaining decorum a silly, fumbling waste of time, values tranquility and a peaceful day and doesn't care about art one way or another.|3:1}}

==Beliefs==
Each belief has a range from −50 to 50. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value range !! Values in range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| +41 to +50 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| +26 to +40 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| +11 to +25 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| −10 to +10 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| −25 to −11 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| −40 to −26 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| −50 to −41 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

Beliefs are also influenced by cultural values via the use of the VALUE [[entity token]]. For example, dwarven civilizations hold craftsdwarfship in the highest regard, whereas goblins hold the ideas of fairness and sacrifice in utter disdain. If an individual dwarf's belief differs significantly from the civilization's beliefs, then that belief gets highlighted in cyan in the thought and personality screen. Beliefs, along with facets, dictate [[need]]s and the frequency in which they need to be fulfilled before the focus of the dwarf/adventurer is negatively impacted.

Beliefs can be changed through successful arguments. In adventure mode, this can be used to change the core beliefs of your adventurer (and by proxy some of your needs). Since you can argue for beliefs you don't actually hold, you can convince a person of a belief you want to hold, get into another argument over said belief, and acquiesce to their (new) position. Note that facets cannot be changed in this way, although they may be subject to changing due to events that happen in your adventure.{{verify}}

Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets — see below.

==Goals==

Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page. Dwarves will receive a happy thought upon completion of goals and receive the notation of "and this dream was realized" in the personality description following their original goal. Goals would apparently ''not'' currently be limited to one per creature, but for some sort of oversight:[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8083871#msg8083871].

==Facets==

Each personality facet has a value from 0 to 100. The value triggers a report in "thoughts and preferences" depending on where it falls in these seven levels:

{| class="wikitable"
! Value range !! Values in range !! Probability !! Effect
|-
| 91-100 || 10 || 0.4% || Highest
|-
| 76-90 || 15 || 2% || Very High
|-
| 61-75 || 15 || 8.5% || High
|-
| 40-60 || 21 || 78% || Neutral
|-
| 25-39 || 15 || 8.5% || Low
|-
| 10-24 || 15 || 2% || Very Low
|-
| 0-9 || 10 || 0.4% || Lowest
|}

The 40−60 range does not cause a report.

Facets are also influenced by species via the use of the PERSONALITY [[creature token]]. For example, dwarves are slightly more greedy than average with a median of 55 in that trait, whereas goblins aren't likely to help others out — their altruism median is a mere 25, and is capped at 50.

Facets also have an effect on which [[social skills]] are learned in social interaction, and determine whether certain actions may give a good or bad [[thought]]. Facets may have other, more subtle effects on creature behavior, which are currently not entirely understood.

Certain facets are capable of ''conflicting'' with the dwarf's beliefs. The effect of this is not yet known.
