Large jumps in stress levels
« on: January 12, 2015, 03:16:26 pm »
Hi there,

I am curious how the new stress system works exactly. Some of my dwarves were doing very well with negative numbers over -1000 and then they suddenly jumped back to around 0 without any indication why. No attacks, no tragedies, nothing...

Anyone with an idea where those jumps come from?

EDIT: I just realized that the dwarves who are affected by this are the ones normally working outside. I am in a tropical region...could the heat increase their stress levels?

Do they have anything strong mentioned in their bios about not liking outside, weather, or anything like that? Are they heavily cave adapted (and hence vomiting everywhere)?

One of them is a pessimist which might explain some of the changes in happiness. The other one has no attributes that relate to weather or work. He likes to be alone...but there are only 7 dwarves so far, so I doubt that is it.

Dwarven wine is a little bit like good chicken soup:  solid at room temperature.

I think 0 is normal?
I had lots of dorfs with zero stress.

I don't mind them being at 0. i'm just wondering why the stress level suddenly jumped from -1000+ to 0 without any indication of a reason for it
