Does anybody have any idea how the new emotion system works? I can't seem to find anything on it, due to the release being so recent...

If you have any idea, at all, about what the deal is with these dwarves and thier new fangled emotions, I would enjoy hearing about it.

I imagine youll see an influx as the build gets older.   But I hear 'it is inevitable' is still the apathetic response of choice.

This is pretty new territory, and a major overhaul to a pretty important chunk of fortress gameplay. So expect bugs, bugs, and cool new stuff in between.

Also looking forward to sniffing this out, and figuring how it affects big things like tantrum spirals, dwarfs forming bonds with others, etc...

If I had to guess, this is gonna be one of those "nobody knows, and Toady ain't telling, so go figure it out yourself and share" things.

Wha~  Early reports make it seem more short-term . . . :<

If you think its not working, then make a bug report and upload a save and paste the link in the bug report.

I have a lot of family loving dwarfs getting depressed in the longterm from missing their family too much.

Same here. First winter, a migrant female with 11 children (who didn't appear as migrants) and dreams of raising a family become depressed due to "tremendous stresses placed on her".

[pisskop]

When you say 'depressed' do you mean 'ohh look a pretty waterfall' or 'im supersad gonna kill  myself' or 'i feel like working slower'?   migrant depression is reasonable to a point, though.

For me they get depressed in the short term, tantrum in the medium term and die off in the long term. I think the system needs a cap on the amount of unhappiness that a single dwarf can get from being unhappy about something. I've already seen a dwarf get like 10 unhappiness messages because he OHKO'd a honey badger, I'm sure there are other things that can trigger it, too.

This system is off kilter.  I'm working on my first embark in the new version, and I'm looking through my starting seven so I know what skills to give them. Those nice little slogans aren't matching up with the rest of the profile. I'm looking at someone who dreams of mastering a skill, and who disdains loyalty, and her slogan is "How great it is to be surrounded by family!" And someone else said Art is Life while not caring one bit for craftsmanship. How the Hell can art be life if you don't care about the craftsmanship of it? Are you going to claim every kindergartener's macaroni art is life?

This isn't a complaint against Toady so much as being irked at the Dwarves I'm starting out with.

This update is truly a travesty... people are caring more about dwarven emotions than how to make +elf bone crowns+ or the wonder progress with !!SCIENCE!!

A dark day indeed...

[Urist McVoyager]

People are doing Science with those emotions. Which might, sometimes, become !!Science!! when we push too hard and cause a berserker to catch on fire and hit the booze supply.
