Limits to happy thought?
« on: September 11, 2012, 03:27:17 am »

I read on the wiki things about how a well is a great happy thought source.  Things like building them out of candy with jewel encrusted platinum chains and artifact buckets.

My dinky limestone wells with encrusted silk rope and mahogany buckets still manage to give dwarves sublime well thoughts.

Are there levels of happy thought here?  Are they really happier?

As a corollary, I have two well zones, one in the dining hall- how can I maximize happy thinking from my artifact rope?  Turn off meeting hall settings on the other well zone?

Yes there are levels. Cont. to read the wiki.

Example: "Had a (fine/truly decadent/legendary) meal lately." - depends on the quality and if it's food your dwarf likes.
Not sure on exactly how many 'happy thoughts points' difference it is though.

admired a (fine/very fine/splendid/wonderful/completely sublime) (building) lately

They get 2x the boost if it's their own personal building.

Once you get above completely sublime, I fear you can go no farther.
