| Summary | 0008539: Happy thoughts do not affect stress levels; Dwarves slowly spiral into depression | ||||
| Description | Years of many happy thoughts and very few unhappy thoughts do not cause stressed dwarves to be raised above stressed level. What appears to be happening is once a dwarf has an unhappy thought their mood drops and there is nothing you can do to raise it. Over time these build up and eventually cause the dwarf to climb the stress ladder. Even long after the unhappy thoughts are gone the dwarf remains stressed. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Observe generally happy dwarves over a long period of time. | ||||
| Additional Information | This can be game breaking. I've managed to keep a fortress together for over a decade but that's only because I haven't had any goblin attacks or major catastrophes. Even so I have several unhappy dwarves, some of which are starting to lash out at my other dwarves. If I continue playing without this bug being fixed my fortress will inevitably crumble. | ||||

Everybody has seen mass amounts of death, although most of it is of the 'didn't feel anything after seeing' variety. If they bunker up and take it careful for a season or two does it really not reduce their stress levels? [EDIT] I tried testing this myself, but the only thing I proved was that I'm not good at keeping all my dwarves alive. :P |

This dwarf could show support for this bug. No recent unhappy thoughts, only a few neutral thoughts, and lots of positive ones. Still stressed. http://imagr.eu/up/5464bdc0e897b_stress.png From a 40.16 game that was started in 40.15. Save file available on request. |

Reminder sent to: ptb_ptb Yes, another save would be helpful. |

Save file: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10062 I'll keep an eye on Olin Idenizeg and see if she stops complaining. :P [EDIT] After a nice long time of relative pampering, Olin Idenizeg remains highly stressed. |

I wonder if this might be somehow related to turning artifacts off. I'm not hearing too many people complain about it so I'm starting to think there's something more specific to my setup that's making my dwarves stressed. |

Do you guys happen to have any buzzards or keas or other thieving birds flying around? Check that and also check your dwarves for feeling "vengeful when joining an existing conflict". If you see these, then it might be related to 0008479; perhaps the constant negative vengeful thought is dragging them down more than the brief positive thoughts are. |

@Frogging101 Not in the savefile above. That fortress was pretty much free of any bird visitors, IIRC, and some affected dwarves had no negative thoughts at all. @Lemunde I have not turned artifacts off. |

It seems to be working. Olin has a lot of stress built up, and the destressors are all working after checking the numbers for a game week and watching one meeting (gray sentences don't do anything -- they only destress while they are white). The main question is what caused the stress pool to build up in the first place. Olin has the "cracks easily" personality facet, but it has been long enough that there is no record of what caused the stress to build up. Stress can't be easy to get rid of or it would be pointless to have, since it takes a long time to build up (things like the kea bug and so on build up stress too quickly, but I have no idea what happened to Olin). edit: Stress does drop slowly in the absence of thoughts, but that's also a very slow process. A dwarf with stress and no thoughts listed is not a bug. That is the effect of old stressors. |

I'll go ahead and add an adjustment for dwarves that haven't had bad things happen to them for a long time to make them move toward the baseline faster and faster. That should solve this without screwing too much up. Dwarves in saves will have to wait to build up that credit, but they'll get to it. |
