Talk:Need
The info in the new edit under diversity concerning distraction value increase is incorrect.[edit]
A dwarf with need level 1 roughly needs to fullfill the need every two years, with need level 2 every year, with need level 5 every six months and with need level 10 every 3 months (except alcohol) otherwise the need will be displayed in yellow in the overview screen (and have a distraction value of -10000 reached). The need fullfillment drops happen every x ticks (and happens multiple times a day) after the need was last fullfilled. The drop is 1,2,4 and 8 points, the interval at which the drop happens might depend on the current distraction value for that need. For the need "be with friends" the verification is straightforward as the distraction value (for that need) and the current tick of the current year only needs to be compared with the last meet values (last meet year and tick) in hf_visual_relationships of all friends of that dwarf - at least if the dwarf was formerly a "void dwarf" or at least does not have any friendships created during world gen. That verification will also refute the current contents on the wiki page concerning the 13 point drop per day and roughly 800 days for level 1 and 400 days for level 2 to reach distraction value of -10000 (starting from 400).87.143.64.207 11:02, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
