Editing Thought

'''Thoughts''' are the reported observations and sentiments of [[dwarves]] in [[Dwarf fortress mode|Fortress mode]], visible on the [[thoughts and preferences]] subscreen of their [[profile]]. Over the course of play, a dwarf will experience circumstances that evoke specific [[emotion]]s based on its [[personality]].

A dwarf's recent emotions contribute to its [[stress]] level, displayed on the thoughts and preferences screen in somewhat subjective terms. A dwarf's level of stress will affect the type of [[strange mood]] he can undergo, and the changes in [[Status icon|status]] that triggers bad thoughts about thirst, hunger, and fatigue extoll physical costs on the dwarf and, except (directly) in the case of fatigue, can be lethal. To avoid bad thoughts, make [[keeping your dwarves happy]] a priority.

To view a dwarf's recent thoughts and current stress level, press {{k|k}}, move the cursor to the dwarf, and press {{k|enter}} twice, or {{k|v}}, move to the dwarf, then {{k|z}} and {{k|enter}}. This brings you to the thoughts and preferences screen for that dwarf, which, among other things, describes the dwarf's overall stress level as well as their constituent thoughts.

Below is a list of common thoughts that your dwarves may experience.
