Sad dorfs
« on: December 01, 2014, 09:44:16 am »
Hello,
I've posted my couple of noob questions here and there, but the new builds give me significant trouble in an aspect I have never encountered before. The thing is, I am used to just having my dwarves working full time, with each of them having their own beautiful rooms. But nowadays, I'm having huge trouble managing their happiness, since about 20 dwarves already are going crazy because...they are lonely. Any tutorial or guide I have studied has mentioned the necessity of separating your dwarves, since a death of a friends makes a tantrum spiral inevitable. But in the new build, it seems that separation of dwarves actually brings the spiral even closer; especially children slip into depression in six months, and even female dorfs that actually live in the same room as their husbands receive the "Sad due to being separated from a husband" mood.

I apologize if this was mentioned and answered elsewhere, but what might be the possible remedy to this? Is the separation no longer a valid tactic? Should I just accept parties in the meeting hall, caring even more about the safety of every single of those fuzzy mongrels?

are you using the most up to date version? The familial seperation bug should be fixed in 40.19.

I'm using LNP and it's latest version is 40.16. So, I guess that means it's just a bug?

hmm I can't remember if it was supposed to be fixed in 40.16 or not, I thought it was.

The current version helps a lot with depressed dwarves. It sucks not having dfhack or DT tho.

That is a bug, fixed in the latest version. Something about stress due to separation never going away.

Meh, that sucks. I guess I will just wait for the updated LNP then. Thank you for the help.

I had a similar issue - my captain of the guard, without any apparent external factors, suddenly remembered she lost the same relative about 20 times in a row and immediately went berserk.
