Highlight the most stress inducing thought.
« on: May 11, 2020, 03:59:11 am »

The idea is that... Right now, the thoughts screen has thoughts and needs. The thoughts section can be quite hard to figure out at times, and the needs section doesn't really have much to do with the thoughts section, but it is much easier to parse. Therefore as a player you tend to try and fill the entries of the needs section when trying to de-stress a dwarf, despite this not having as much of an effect.

My suggestion would be to highlight the strongest thought a dwarf is being affected by at the moment. This would be something like "Within the last season, Urist has been bothered most by unease at seeing Bomrek's corpse". Another, similar idea would be to be able to sort the thoughts on stress effect instead of having it by time basis.

This should also allow highlighting the way personality affects emotions, so that we may understand Urist is having a way harder time with corpses than Mosus who has gotten desensitized to them.

Seems eminently reasonable.
