Editing v0.31:Thought

{{quality|Fine|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}


Over time dwarves will have different thoughts. In the latest version of DF, the rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by personality modifiers. Thoughts have effects on the dwarf's happiness. 

The change in {{L|Status icon|status}} that triggers bad thoughts about thirst, hunger, and fatigue can also slow the speed at which a dwarf works and moves.

To view a dwarf's thoughts, press {{key|k}}, move the cursor to the dwarf, and press {{key|enter}} twice.  (Or {{key|v}}, move to the dwarf, then {{key|z}} and {{key|enter}}.)  Now you will see a page describing the dwarf's feelings and thoughts, physical description, and a set of phrases describing personality traits.
