Sudobash418: Attempt to properly explain the "indoor/outdoor" mess

<ref name="penalty">Work speed penalty of 80% if not placed in the room with the correct role.</ref>

{{TOCright}}

A '''room''' is a space fully enclosed by impassable objects such as [[wall]]s, [[door]]s (open or closed), [[vent]]s, natural rock, or [[cooler]]s. Corners do not need to be filled in order to enclose a room. [[Vac barrier]]s also enclose a room despite not being impassable.

== General ==
The maximum size of a room is 36 [[#Map regions|map regions]]. The equivalent size in tiles varies based on the position and shape of the room, but as reference:
* The maximum area possible per room is 5,184 tiles (72x72).
* An empty 50x50 square room is the largest room that won't have issues with map regions.
* The more complex the shape of a room, the more likely it is to run into problems with map regions.
* Above this size, the area in question will be treated as a non-room indoors space.

=== Temperature ===
Indoor rooms can have a different [[temperature]] than the outside. Open [[door]]s, open [[vent]]s, or missing roof tiles will increase the rate at which heat is exchanged with the outside. For further information, see the [[Temperature]] page.

Outdoor rooms do not have a separate temperature from the outside environment. They will always match the outside temperature exactly.

== Indoors and Outdoors ==

Rooms are considered either "indoors" or "outdoors" based on three distinct conditions that do not always agree, which each affect different mechanics.

=== List of conditions ===

|}

Note that the lists of affected mechanics are not exhaustive, and that for some of the listed mechanics, the game applies additional conditions to outdoor/indoor checks.

== Roles ==
'''Room roles''' are assigned to a room based on the buildings they contain, such as a ''kitchen'' when containing an [[electric stove]] or a [[fueled stove]]. They determine whether a colonist is affected by all, some, or none of the room stats.

=== Summary ===
Certain room roles grant [[mood]]lets based on their [[Impressiveness]], which is affected by all four substats. To gain the moodlet, the room must be used by a pawn for the role's associated purpose (i.e., eating at a table for the dining room role or playing billiards for the rec room role). Despite the game displaying only one role, rooms can grant moodlets from multiple roles when used for that role. The moodlets are typically {{Check Tag|When not?}} applied when a colonist ''begins'' said activity in the room, and they last for 24 hours. {{Check Tag |Verify| What about deathresting? It uses a separate thought.}}

Buildings associated with hospitals, laboratories, and kitchens make direct use of the [[Cleanliness]] stat for their [[Work Speed Factor]].

Some room roles cannot have certain buildings inside without inflicting a mood penalty (i.e., [[Titles#Thrones and Bedrooms|throne rooms]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and temples {{IdeologyIcon}} with [[Production|workstations]]).

Pawns also have separate needs for [[Beauty]] and [[Space]], which every room can fulfill. Unlike the room stats of the same name, these needs are checked within a certain radius from the pawn, as opposed to anywhere in the room. See those pages for further details.

=== Score calculation ===
For each room, every room role is given a score based on the buildings inside, and the role with the highest score is the one displayed. In the case of a tie, the earlier roles on the following table take priority.

For the purposes of room role scoring, the following are considered non-baby human beds: {{RoomRolesBuildingList|Bed-associated rooms}}.

== Stats ==
[[File:quality preview.png|300px|right]]
'''Room stats''' are values of a room that passively affect both [[thought]]s about the room itself and some events and activities that take place within. These include [[Impressiveness]], which is calculated from four composite stats: [[Wealth]], [[Beauty]], [[Space]], and [[Cleanliness]]. These base stats are automatically calculated from [[buildings]], [[floor]]ing, [[filth]], the room's perimeter, and items within the room.

Room stats can be inspected with the room stats display, which can be toggled with a button in the lower right corner of the screen or a hotkey (''G'' by default). Additional information can also be viewed by holding down the ''Alt'' key.

Room stats affect the following:
* Medical treatment quality (Cleanliness)
* Research speed (Cleanliness)
* [[Food poisoning]] chance in prepared meals (Cleanliness)
* [[Mood#Room_stats|Mood]] of the people using them (Impressiveness)

The following traits are affected by room stats:
* [[Greedy]] - Decrease without sufficiently Impressive bedroom.
* [[Jealous]] - Decrease if anyone has a noticeably better bedroom. {{Check Tag|How much?}}
* [[Ascetic]] - Decrease if room is too Impressive. Increase if bedroom is dull or worse.

=== Impressiveness ===
The value for '''Impressiveness''' is based on the four other room stats ('''Wealth''', '''Beauty''', '''Space''', and '''Cleanliness''').

The mood effects from the room depend on the Impressiveness level, and not on the precise value. That value is rounded ''down'' to the nearest whole number, and a label (or "level") of Impressiveness will be given to the room, according to the table below. This level is used to apply the relevant thought, positive or negative.

The exact mood effects depend on the [[Room#Roles|room role]], with different rooms having different values at each level. For more information, see [[Mood#Room stats|this section of the Mood page]]{{Check Tag|Outdated link}} For bedrooms, dining rooms, and rec rooms, the effects are as follows:{{Check Tag|Verify table|Add values for other room types}}

==== Guidelines ====

Since the impressiveness calculation (explained below) is fairly involved, it is not practical to predict impressiveness levels in an actual game. However, the following rules of thumb can be applied:

* '''Keep all four room stats equally in mind.''' There is a heavy weighting towards whichever stat is weakest, which is counted as much as all three other stats combined. For example, having a masterpiece work of art in a large room (high ''wealth'', ''space'' and ''beauty'') is not very effective if the floor is covered in vomit and animal filth (low ''cleanliness''). It is quite difficult to compensate for one low stat by raising the other three.

* '''Making a particularly small room ''impressive'' is difficult.''' Room size is a limiting factor for Impressiveness. If you want to make the room "very impressive", it should have a space of at least around 25 (which still counts as "rather tight" in the game). E.g. a furnished bedroom with a 5x5 or 4×6 footprint would be fine, and a little smaller could still work, but it would be a challenge to get there with a 4x4 room. Note that any naturally "large" rooms like hallways, lobbies, recreation halls etc. will never run into this limitation at all.

* '''Cleanliness matters'''. Since the level of impressiveness is what counts, and there are sharp thresholds separating the levels, even a minute change of any of the values can have a strong effect. This is usually due to ''cleanliness'' changing (because the other factors are pretty much fixed); even a single speck of dirt on the floor can result in major [[mood]] changes. Make sure that the room is not too close to a level threshold, and keep it clean.

* '''Do not go overboard'''. There are sharply diminishing returns from increasing any room stat. Increasing any of the stats has dramatically diminishing returns with regards to impressiveness. It is not worth putting a lot of resources into any of the stats beyond a point.*
:: (* Not unless you care about the stat for other reasons; "room impressiveness" is not the only stat that can affect [[mood]]. Beauty, among others, has its own value.)

==== Formula ====
The actual formula for calculating impressiveness involves multiple steps, starting with the four room statistics (wealth, beauty, space and cleanliness) and resulting in a single integer value ''impressiveness''.

The calculation is done in several steps:
# Convert each stat into natural units, so that typical in-game stats end up in a range of comparable single digit values.
# Curve values beyond (-1, 1) using a natural logarithm.
# Average the four stats into an impressiveness score, weighted towards the lowest one
# Soft-cap the result according to the space of the room.

Here is a [https://www.desmos.com/calculator/eepwmhgiwr Desmos graph] with the formula implemented.

<div class="mw-customtoggle-EXImpressivness" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:5px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Detailed formula:</div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-EXImpressivness">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content" style="background:rgba(255,255,255,.5);margin-top:10px;padding:10px;border-radius:5px">
===== Base values =====
Firstly, all four raw stats are scaled individually by applying a factor, deriving the ''base contribution'' for each stat:

: '''W'''b = ''wealth'' ÷ 1500
: '''B'''b = ''beauty'' ÷ 3
: '''S'''b = ''space'' ÷ 125
: '''C'''b = 1 + (''cleanliness'' ÷ 2.5)

===== Modified values =====
These base values are now modified if they lie outside the range (−1, 1), by applying the ''natural logarithm'' as follows: {{Check Tag|Add image|An image would be quite useful because the modified values are actually very visually intuitive despite the formula's complexity}}
m = 1 + ln(b) (if b >= 1)
m = [1 + ln(−b)] × −1 (if b <= −1)
(This is symmetrical for positive and negative values).

===== Impressiveness score =====
These modified values are then combined to give the ''impressiveness'' score as follows.

Take a weighted sum of the average of the values and the smallest of the values:
I = (65 × ('''W'''m + '''B'''m + '''S'''m + '''C'''m) ÷ 4) + (35 × min('''W'''m, '''B'''m, '''S'''m, '''C'''m))
This means that the smallest of the values contributes 51.25%, just over half, while the other three values each contribute 16.25%, or 48.75% combined.

As a final step we compare this impressiveness value to the ''spaciousness'' of the room:
S' = 500 × Sm
If I > S', then
I' = 0.25 × I + 0.75 × S'
else
I' = I (no change)

This means a room's max impressiveness is soft-capped to 500% of their space score. However, this specific step is only relevant for very small, disproportionately luxurious rooms. Even a 60-space room (S = 0.5) will incur no penalty up to 240 impressiveness, enough to clear the highest bracket ("wondrously impressive"), and a 30-space room (S = 0.24) already reaches "extremely impressive" with no penalty.

===== Takeaways =====
It can be useful to think of impressiveness as a percentage value composed of four categories; a score of 1 in each category corresponds to 100 impressiveness, while values above 1 stop giving "fair" (ie. linear) returns. One unit of each stat is equivalent to each the following:
* ''Wealth'' of 1,500
* ''Beauty'' of 3
* ''Cleanliness'' of 0 (i.e. when using any cleanliness enhancers)
* ''Space'' of 125
Above these values, it begins to become more economical to invest attention in other stats. A "standard bedroom" of size 4×6, carpeted and containing bed, dresser, end table, lamp and plant pot will still have plenty of leeway in all categories (except cleanliness, which is at a natural 0 for a cleaned room); in this case, you will usually proceed by putting a sculpture or high quality armchair in the room, increasing beauty and wealth.

Furthermore, observe that the factors (i.e., modified values) for ''wealth'' and ''beauty'' will often be well above 1, but ''cleanliness'' and ''space'' usually lower than 1. Unless the room is "very spacious", or close to it, the decisive factor will thus be ''space'', then ''cleanliness''. In fact, even a well-cleaned room can never have a value over C = 1 (0 cleanliness; perfectly clean) or C = 1.215 (0.6 cleanliness; sterile), meaning rooms above ~100-120 impressiveness will ''always'' be bottlenecked by their cleanliness score. This makes "very impressive" (85-120 impressiveness) a natural set point for many rooms.

===== Example =====
Start with a room with a ''wealth'' of 3000, ''space'' of 25, ''cleanliness'' of 0, beauty of 3.
: '''W'''b = ''3000'' ÷ 1500 = 2, but this is curved to 1 + ln(2) = '''1.69'''
: '''B'''b = ''3'' ÷ 3 = 1
: '''S'''b = ''25'' ÷ 125 = 0.2
: '''C'''b = 1 + (''0'' ÷ 2.5) = 1

This makes the average score (1.69 + 1 + 0.2 + 1) ÷ 4) = 0.97 and the lowest score 0.2 (space).

From the above numbers, we can calculate the base Impressiveness
: I = (65 × 0.97) + (35 × 0.2)
: I = 63 + 7
: I = 70 (70.21 unrounded)
Now, I < 500 × '''S'''m (70 < 100), so there is no space penalty. Therefore, the reported Impressiveness of the room is 70 or "somewhat impressive"

If we were to increase the ''wealth'' of the above room by 6000 (4 units), our Wm would become 6 -> 1 + ln(6) = 2.79 (+1.1 increase). Wealth wasn't the lowest stat, so this would only improve impressiveness by 1.1*16.25% = 17.9%, resulting in a score of 88 or "very impressive"

If we were to increase the original room's space by 10 units instead, '''S'''m becomes 0.28 (0.08 increase). Increasing the bottleneck stat results in a change of 0.08*51.25% = 4.1%, or 74 total impressiveness or "somewhat impressive"
</div></div>

=== Wealth ===
This is the sum of the [[Market Value]] of all items in the room and all walls and doors surrounding the room. Walls, doors, columns and animal flaps in the outer corner count as well. The value of [[power conduit]]s in walls ''is'' also included, however, for some reason building or deconstructing a conduit doesn't immediately update room wealth. Only if wealth is recalculated for some other reason, is the value of the conduits included. The same is true when building a column in the outer corner of the wall.

=== Beauty ===
This is the average environmental beauty of the room including its walls and doors with a penalty for small rooms. Walls, doors and columns in the outer corner count as well. Building or deconstructing a column in the outer corner doesn't trigger a recalculation however. Floor tiles underneath walls and doors have no influence.

Room beauty is calculated as:

<pre>TotalBeauty = sum(beauty for each internal cell) + sum(beauty for each adjacent cell)
WeightedSize = size if (size > 40) else (20 + size / 2)
RoomBeauty = TotalBeauty / WeightedSize</pre>

This means that all rooms with less than 40 internal space will have their beauty penalised.

=== Space ===
Indicates how much free space is available in the room. A room's Space score is 1.4 times the number of tiles in the room. Objects that prevent a pawn from standing in a space will decrease the available space in the room by 0.9 per tile the object covers. Thus, an occupied tile contributes a total of 0.5 to space. Objects that reduce space include beds, tables, workbenches, lamps, and heaters. Stools and chairs do not reduce space.

: (* These are "safe" approximations; as described, the items placed in the room can greatly reduce the effective size. For example, an empty 5x5 room has space (25 x 1.4 =) 35, easily "average" - when empty. However, placing just one bed (2 tiles), one table (2 tiles), a light, a heater, a plant pot and one artwork (1 tile each, a chair is "free") in that room reduces the effective space by -7.2 (= 8 tiles x .9), and the effective space is now 27.8, "rather tight".)
: (* Due to floating point inaccuracies, sometimes a room that is right on a threshold may randomly count for one category or the other. For example, a room with 5 standable tiles and 11 walkable but non-standable tiles should come out to exactly 12.5 score, but may result in either "cramped" or "rather tight". It's safest to not rely on exact values.)

Note, that space of the room affects only its impressiveness. Careful to not confuse with Pawn's [[space]] need.

=== Cleanliness ===
This stat affects [[Surgery_Success_Chance_Factor#Room_Cleanliness_Multiplier|Surgery Success Chance]], [[Research#Research speed|research speed]], the chance that cooked meals will cause [[food poisoning]], and gene [[Assembly Speed Factor]].{{BiotechIcon}} A room's cleanliness is the average cleanliness score of all tiles in the room. It is determined by the type of [[floor]]ing, the presence of any [[filth]], and the cleanliness value of some furniture such as the [[butcher table]] and the [[stonecutter's table]]. Note that the type of [[floor]] under a door doesn't count for Cleanliness, but filth under a door does count.

== Map regions ==
Upon map generation, the map is divided into chunks of 12x12 squares called map regions. Each region requires a contiguous area and will be subdivided otherwise. Under no circumstance will a region extend beyond the initial 12x12 grid. Impassable buildings (both natural and artificial) are not considered as part of any map region for this purpose and will subdivide existing map regions accordingly. Regions will fuse when possible. Map regions are used for several calculations and can be seen in game via the debug option "Draw Regions".

<div class="mw-customtoggle-myDivision" style="display:inline-block;background:rgba(128,128,128,0.5);color:white;padding:5px;border-radius:5px;outline:none;user-select:none">Some additional notes:</div>

* Impassable buildings are never part of any map region.
** Impassable non-walls (ex: [[Ship engine]]) may create a "red" temporal map region on construction that will be removed once anything else is build/destroyed.
* Impassable terrain creates map regions confined to its extension.
** These regions don't interact with the regular ones, but otherwise follow the stated rules.
* Passable buildings, such as [[fence]]s and [[barricade]]s, create map regions along their extension.
** These "fence" regions won't interact with other kinds, but otherwise follow the stated rules.
* Doors have unique behavior
** Single tile doors create a 3 tile map region centered on the doors' tile, following the door's orientation, that overlaps with other map regions.
*** Impassable objects will delete the overlapping section, no interaction otherwise.
** Double tile doors create 2 map regions, 1 for each of its tiles.
** The map regions created by doors don't interact with any other, not even each other.

'''Temperature''' management is an important part of a productive colony. Temperature mainly affects pawn [[thoughts]], food and corpse spoilage, work bench operation speed, and plant growth. Severe heat or cold leads to pawn injury and eventual death from [[heatstroke]] or [[hypothermia]].

=== Measuring temperature ===
Players can switch the in-game temperature to display in Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Kelvins (K). This Wiki will list values in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Internally, the game uses Celsius degrees (°C) for all temperature functions, such as "too hot" or "too cold" [[thoughts]]. As the game always rounds temperature to an integer ("whole number"), values reported in Fahrenheit are inaccurate by around 0.3°F. For reliable temperature values, and ''especially'' when [[modding]], use Celsius or Kelvin.

The maximum temperature is {{Temperature|1000}} and the minimum is {{temperature|-270}}, very close to [[Wikipedia:absolute zero|absolute zero]]. The minimum temperature is not encountered during normal gameplay, but [[fire]]s in small enclosed spaces can reach the maximum temperature.

=== Outdoors vs indoors ===

An area completely enclosed by [[wall]]s, [[door]]s, and other impassable objects is considered a [[room]], where colonists will automatically build [[roof|roofing]] in unroofed tiles (unless otherwise designated). Tiles not inside of a room are considered "outdoors".

Outdoors areas and >75% unroofed rooms will always have the outside temperature, no matter what. Outdoor temperature varies by [[latitude]], time of day, day of the year, and [[biome]]. Unpredictable [[events]] like a [[cold snap]], [[volcanic winter]] or [[heat wave]] can also change outdoor temperature unexpectedly. No amount of cooling or heating from buildings, even in [[development mode]], will affect or change the outdoor temperature. The outdoors is simply treated as a very large room with a uniform temperature. Instead, only buildings with dedicated mechanics such as the [[climate adjuster]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[atmospheric heater]]{{AnomalyIcon}} can affect the temperature.

By turning a place from Indoors to Outdoors, it will instantly become the outdoors temperature. This is caused when any wall or door that borders the outside is destroyed or deconstructed. Buildings like doors and vents, as well as removing roof tiles, makes heat transfer faster. Removing roof tiles will cause temperatures to "equalize" with the outside. A room that is 75% roofed or less will remain at outdoors temperature.

=== Thermodynamics ===
All tiles within a room share the same temperature.

A room's temperature is influenced by its roofing and the temperature of tiles adjacent to its walls. The temperature of two adjacent rooms are influenced by each other. This creates a gradient of temperature between the outside, the rooms of your colony, and a heat source such as a geyser or heater.
Heat transfer with walls only occurs in cardinal directions. Thus the corners of rooms can be eliminated with minimal effect.
Open doors and open roofs will quickly "equalize" temperature to whatever's on the other side. Adding another layer of walls increases insulation, but only up to 2 layers of wall. Gaps between each layer will decrease the insulation, but still have an effect.

Larger rooms have more heat capacity: their temperature is more resistant to change than that of smaller rooms. Temperature equalization with the outside is proportional with a room's perimeter. A square-shaped room (shape with the lowest area:perimeter ratio) will lose heat slower than a thin, rectangular hallway of equivalent perimeter.

See the [[#Temperature mechanics|temperature mechanics]] section further down for more details.

== Summary ==
Temperature has the following effects on:

=== Crops ===
All [[biome]]s have a listed growing season. Some are very short (or, in extreme cold, non-existent) and others are "year round". Crops will die, and colonists will avoid planting outdoors, if it isn't growing season. Many players pick their starting location based on this, with year round being the easiest option.

However, a year round climate is no guarantee of trouble-free farming experience. Just getting close to freezing will slow plant growth, reducing the output of crops. Moreover, climates that do not freeze tend to get ''very'' hot in the summer season, hot enough to kill crops in some instances. [[Cold snap]]s can drop the temperatures below freezing for short periods - but long enough to, again, kill crops.

The short-term solution is to immediately harvest everything to save what you can. The long-term solution is some sort of greenhouse, making use of temperature controlled indoor structures, walled and roofed, with [[heater]]s or [[cooler]]s, [[sun lamp]]s, and possibly [[hydroponics]].

=== Food ===
Warm temperatures rot food, corpses, and certain plant matter like [[psychoid leaves]] and [[herbal medicine]]. Even "durable" foods like corn and rice will eventually rot away. Colder temperatures preserve food and corpses by slowing spoilage. Freezing temperatures stop spoilage entirely and preserve these items indefinitely. [[Cooler]]s will preserve food, so colonists starting with Electricity will quickly want to build a dedicated room. When freezing a room, watch out for [[heat wave]]s.

Fertillized [[egg]]s will be "ruined by temperature" when left long enough outside of its comfortable range of {{Temperature|0|50}}. "Ruined" eggs may still be eaten as normal, but won't hatch into an animal. In a similar vein, a [[fermenting barrel]] must be kept in a comfortable range between {{Temperature|{{Q|Fermenting barrel|Min Safe Temperature}}|{{Q|Fermenting barrel|Max Safe Temperature}}}} for [[beer]] to be produced.

[[Deterioration]] is an entirely different mechanic, and items left outside will lose health regardless of temperature. Rotting isn't influenced by and has no effect on an item's hit points.

=== Creatures ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Burn/Frostbite chances}}
{{Main|Heatstroke|Hypothermia}}
Pawns have a [[Maximum Comfortable Temperature]] and [[Minimum Comfortable Temperature]]. Going over {{Temperature|10||delta}} beyond these limits will start giving them [[heatstroke]] or [[hypothermia]]. The further above or below this {{Temperature|10||delta}} limit the faster the Heatstroke or Hypothermia rises. At {{Temperature|150||delta}} above their comfortable temperature range, creatures will begin to take burn damage. If Hypothermia reaches a severity of 37% and the pawn is in a location at {{Temperature|0}} or below, there is a chance the pawn takes Frostbite damage. The higher the Hypothermia severity the higher the chance of Frostbite damage. [[Insectoid]]s will experience [[hypothermic slowdown]] instead of hypothermia. Pawns will also receive negative [[mood]]lets based on how extreme the temperature is. The Gear tab shows aggregate stats about comfy temperatures.

Hypothermia and Heatstroke are both fatal at 100% severity. Though, both Heatstroke and Hypothermia have significant health consequences and can lead to death before the 100% severity level is reached.

For humans, [[apparel]] will increase both comfortable thresholds, [[Insulation|depending on the apparel type and material]] (e.g. [[wool]] [[parka]]s insulate well against cold). Colonists will try and wear items suitable for the temperature, unless they are forced otherwise. Colonists' moods ''ignore'' apparel when considering sleeping moodlets. So piling on the warmest apparel doesn't avoid a "Slept in the cold" bad thought if a bedroom is not adequately heated.

Animals tend to have much higher comfortable thresholds. However, in extreme [[biome]]s, it may be necessary to build a "barn" of some sort with temperature control and designate indoor [[animal sleeping spot]]s to keep your herd warm/cool.

Many work benches, such as a [[electric stove]] or [[stonecutter's table]], have a comfortable range between {{Temperature|10|35}}. Above or below this range, the ''bench'''s work speed is multiplied by {{Bad|70%}}.

=== Fire ===
{{Main|Fire}}
Fire is a destructive force capable of destroying plants, buildings, and pawns alike. Pawns and items can spontaneously ignite when temperature is at or above {{Temperature|235}}. Fires can spread via embers from up to 2 tiles.

Fire itself provides a massive amount of heat.

== Managing temperature ==
Temperature management is important for any colony, regardless of climate. It can be simply managed with a good power supply and the following structures. Temperature changing buildings will still work while "outdoors", but have no noticeable effect.

== Cooling buildings ==
=== Passive cooler ===
[[{{Q|Passive cooler|Image}}|56px|left|link=Passive cooler]]
The [[passive cooler]] is a very low-tech option automatically unlocked for all default starts. They operate at the same strength as a Cooler and will cool rooms to a very comfortable {{Temperature|15}}. Passive coolers last for 5 days; it needs to be fueled with [[wood]] when it runs out of fuel. Due to the temperature limit, passive coolers are unable to preserve food.

Passive coolers are a life saver in extremely hot climates as they can be quickly built, are immune to electrical events and are easily massed in a heat wave. Use passive coolers to keep your living spaces survivable and chill rooms surrounding a freezer to further protect the products inside.
{{clear}}

=== Cooler ===
[[{{Q|Cooler|Image}}|56px|left|link=Cooler]]
The [[cooler]] is primarily used to lower the temperature of a room. It has two states of power consumption: low and high. In its low state, the cooler produces no heat or cold but still requires 20 W. It can be used to lower the temperature of a room to a comfortable {{Temperature|20}} (room temperature) in the summer or create a walk-in freezer for your food. In hot biomes such as desert or rainforest, having comfortable air conditioning is a necessity for any base.

Coolers are heat pumps that produce both a cold side ''and'' a hot side. The hot side is rarely useful and should be directed to an outdoor space (or a 1x1, unroofed room) to not inconvenience your colony. The heating side is useful when outdoors temperature is uncomfortable, but not freezing. This is between {{Temperature|1|16}}, but in practical terms, you should point the heat side at the colony when the outdoors temperature rarely goes above {{Temperature|20}}. Never block a cooler's intake or exhaust port, or else it won't function.

A cooler is theoretically able to cool a single square by about 1800 kelvin [K]. But this is not a linear relation, as a room always exchanges heat with adjacent rooms and/or the outside.

==== Analysis ====
Electric coolers are the only way to create freezers. Building one is as simple as making a room and replacing some wall tiles with coolers. Direct the cold "blue" zone of the cooler inside the room and the hot "red" tile to an outdoor area. Reduce the cooler's target temperature to below {{Temperature|0}}. As the room cools down any food left inside will decay more slowly until it freezes. Frozen food will stay fresh indefinitely and incurs no other benefit or penalty when eaten.

If your freezer area is more than about 50 squares, and/or you are living in an area with a hot summer, you will want 2 coolers (and perhaps more, see "adding coolers", below). Put one at 0, and the other at -2. With double walls, this will let one cooler "idle" at 20 W of power in cooler weather while the other easily keeps things frozen, but be available to help when needed for warmer weather. [[Battery|Batteries]] are useful for power outages; you may want to keep charged batteries disconnected via [[power switch]] for these situations.

Freezers lose heat through walls and doors. The material of a wall doesn't matter, but for maximum insulation, you should put a double layer of them. Doors will cause heat loss when opened. This loss can be offset by having doors arranged in sequence, one after another, at points of egress, in an "airlock" like fashion. The loss can be examined by mousing over the sections of the airlock to see the temperature. Using [[door]]s rather than [[autodoor]]s can help reduce the cooling lost, though this slows down colonists.

==== Adding coolers ====
There may come a moment when you realize ''"I don't have enough coolers for this area..."''. If the weather is cool, that's not a big problem, but it's more likely that the weather will be brutally hot when you realize this. And it's also likely that it's your freezer that's not at "freezing" (since colonists can tough it out). If you open a wall to put in an additional cooler, your freezer immediately rockets to "outside" temperatures - which is probably a dealbreaker, rotting all your frozen items. So here's what you do...

Decide where in the current wall you will put your new cooler, and build a door ''outside'' where you will tear the existing wall down (you don't need "side walls" to support it). (A wall would "block" the cooler exhaust and prohibit construction, but a door will not!) Then, [f]orbid the door (so it doesn't get opened), and deconstruct your wall; the new door will maintain the area as "inside". Then build your cooler (remembering the orientation, warm side "out"). Once the new cooler has been installed, deconstruct the door, and you're done.

== Heating buildings ==
=== Campfire ===
[[{{Q|Campfire|Image}}|56px|left|link=Campfire]]
{{#show: Campfire | ?note }}
Campfires are a quick and dirty solution to produce heat in a hurry. They require no energy, but are temporary structures and must be refreshed with wood every few days. Otherwise, they produce the same amount of heat as an electrical heater. They cannot raise the temperature to over {{Temperature|30}}. They can't be controlled, so may make pawns uncomfortably hot - open doors or roofs to lower heat..
{{clear}}

=== Heater ===
[[{{Q|Heater|Image}}|56px|left|link=Heater]]
The [[heater]] is used to raise the temperature of a room. It has two states of power consumption: low and high. In its low state, the heater produces no heat but still requires 18 W. It can be used to raise the temperature of a room to a likable {{Temperature|20}} (room temperature) in the winter or create a walk-in heat trap for your foes. In any cold biome, such as the Tundra, the heater is a necessity for any base.

A heater (in theory) is able to heat a single square by about 1800 kelvin [K]. But this is not a linear relation as a room always exchanges heat with adjacent rooms and/or the outside. This heat conduction effect can be pretty noticeable in extremely cold or hot environments.
Example: In a realistic setup, this means it can heat a room with 50 squares by an average of about 36 K per square.
So a room with 50 squares and an outside temperature of {{Temperature|-10}} can be heated up to comfortable {{Temperature|26}} or something near that with a single heater.

== Incidental heat ==
=== Generators ===
[[{{Q|Chemfuel powered generator|Image}}|56px|left|link=Chemfuel_powered_generator]]
{{#show: Generators| ?note }}
Generators produce a non-negligible amount of heat for the room they occupy, especially when placed in numbers.
If placed strategically, you can reduce the number of heaters and coolers necessary to manage the temperature in your base.

It's also worth noting that generators will continue to produce heat (and burn fuel) during solar flare events. If your colony is in a very cold climate, this can be used to ensure that critical sections such as hydroponics or barns for sensitive animals don't lose all their heat in a power outage.

=== Steam geysers ===
[[File:Steam geyser.png|56px|left|link=Steam geyser]]
A steam geyser will heat up a roofed room even when covered with a [[geothermal generator]]. They are extremely useful for staying warm in frozen climates, but can overheat an indoors space in warmer biomes.

=== Fire weapons ===
[[{{Q|Molotov cocktail|Image}}|56px|left|link=Molotov cocktail]]
{{#show: Molotov | ?note }}
Weapons that generate fire such as [[molotov cocktail]] and [[incendiary launcher]] can be used to quickly generate heat inside your colony. Under normal conditions this is a '''bad idea''' because fires will quickly bring your base to intolerable temperatures. However in a bitter arctic climate with no wood and inadequate heaters, these weapons are your last defense against freezing to death. Draft your colonist and force them to open fire on an empty space, or burn spare corpses and rags to increase heat output.

=== Body heat ===
[[{{Q|Human|Image}}|60px|left|link=Pawns]]

Living, organic creatures (excludes [[mechanoid]]s, [[drone]]s,{{OdysseyIcon}} [[nociosphere]]s, [[fleshmass nucleus|fleshmass nuclei]], [[metal horror]]s, [[revenant]]s{{AnomalyIcon}}) generate a small amount of heat directly proportional to their body size as long as the ambient temperature is not above 40°C. The heat pushed follows the formula:
* <code>0.3 * Body Size * 4.1666665</code> ≈ <code>1.25 * Body Size</code> for human pawns
* <code>0.3 * Body Size * 4.1666665 * 0.6</code> ≈ <code>0.75 * Body Size</code> for all others

Heating is inconsistent, as creatures are prone to wandering, population and sizes fluctuate with births, culling, and growth, and livestock are frequently left in outdoor [[pen]]s where heat will dissipate.

=== Solar pinhole ===
{{Royalty|section=1|no category}}
[[File: SolarPinhole.png|64px]]
[[Solar pinhole]] is a psycast that creates heat and light. It lasts five days. It is useful for emergency situations, such as power shortages during [[cold snap]]s.

=== Production buildings ===
[[{{Q|Electric smelter|Image}}|56px|left|link=Electric_smelter]]
Certain production buildings generate heat while executing bills: [[Electric smelter|Electric smelters]] at a rate of 9 heat per second, [[Electric crematorium|Electric crematoria]] at a rate of 12 heat per second, [[Fueled stove|Fueled stoves]] at a rate of 4 heat per second, [[Electric stove|Electric stoves]] at a rate of 3 heat per second.

== Heat transfer ==
=== Vent ===
[[{{Q|Vent|Image}}|56px|left|link=Vent]]
{{#show: Vent | ?note }}

Vents can have any building in front of it, but no walls. Vents work best when connecting directly to a climate controlled room. Trying to chain vents across smaller rooms will lead to each successive room getting less effective climate control, and connecting to a hallway won't work well if the hallway is blocked with doors. A vent can be designated to be closed, an action carried out by colonists assigned to [[Work#Basic|Basic]].

=== Doors ===
[[{{Q|Door|Image}}|56px|left|link=Vent]]
Similar to double thick walls, double doors (not side-by-side, rather, both in the path of travel) improve insulation and reduce temperature equalization.
A door can be left permanently open (mark the door to 'hold open' and have a pawn pass through) to help control temperature. Open doors allow temperature to more quickly equalize between rooms or the outdoors. Equalization through open doors is less potent than vents.

== Temperature mechanics ==
Equalization calculations happens once every 120 game ticks.

Temperature seems to be measured to an extreme precision.

=== Passive equalization ===
This is equalization via walls and roofs.

'''Walls''' will equalize towards the room on the other side. This can be another fully realized room or simply the outdoors. If the other side is not outdoors, that room will also equalize towards this room.

* The material of the walls does not matter. Wood is as insulating as any stone or metal. And unmined rocks are equally effective.
** A 2nd layer halves the temperature equalization via walls. Extra wall layers have no effect.
** Nutrient dispensers are one of the few items working fully like walls for equalization purposes.
* The surface area does matter. Basically, the game is using a 2D variant of the [[Wikipedia:square-cube law|square-cube law]], with walls taking the place of "surface area" and room size taking the place of "volume". As such square rooms are the most efficient at keeping temperatures.
** Furniture lowers the room size and therefore might change the rate of equalization.

'''Roof''' is a major part with equalization with the outdoor temperature. It will always equalize with the outdoor temperature, regardless what the room borders. However, the equalization rate is also constant for all room sizes at the same temperature difference. There are 4 basic types of roof:
:* '''Unroofed''' tiles are looked at in relation to the total count of roofed tiles in a room. With at least 1/4 unroofed the room will simply equalize to outdoor temperature on the next tick.
:* '''Thin roof''' ('''constructed roof''' and '''thin rock'''): at a temperature difference of {{Temperature|-9555.208||delta}} it equalizes by {{Temperature|-57.331||delta}} every 120 ticks.
:* '''Thick rock''' insulates the same as thin roof. However, they also add a cooling effect if the indoor temperature is about {{Temperature|15}} or above; however this effect is extremely small compared to other sources.

=== Active equalization ===
While Vents, Coolers and open doors still keep rooms separated, they also equalize temperature at a very high rate. This rate is unfortunately not shown on any tooltip.

Torches, Campfires, Heaters and Passive coolers will directly modify the room temperature instead, adding/removing heat every equalization tick as appropriate for their settings/current state.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Deep rooms stay cooler in the heat.
* [[Beta 19]]/[[Version/1.0.0|1.0.0]] - Equalized [[mood]] penalties for being too hot and too cold.
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Fix: Changing temperature display mode (C to F) doesn’t update temperature readout immediately.

'''Plants''' are passive, flammable objects available in numerous species of different appearance, growth rate, lifespan, '''fertility''' requirements, and biome. Plants are generally passable, minifiable, provide no cover, and are not susceptible to Sharp or Blunt damage (except trees, cacti, and bushes.) All plants can be destroyed by [[Fire]], [[Work#Plant_cut|cutting]], a [[Defoliator ship]], or being consumed by an animal.
Plants may spontaneously grow in available tiles or can be cultivated by colonists in [[growing zone]]s or [[hydroponics basin]]s. With adequate time and environmental conditions, plants will age into a '''mature''' lifestage when they can be '''harvested''' by colonists assigned to [[Work#Grow|Grow]] work.

Plants are essential to producing [[food]], [[textile]]s, feed for [[animals]], [[dye]], [[wood]], [[chemfuel]], [[drug]]s, and [[medicine]].

[[File:Plantation growing zone.png|500px]]

== Growth rate factors ==

===Fertility===
{{For|[[human]] fertility|Reproduction#Fertility{{!}}Reproduction}}
Fertility is a measure of a location's efficacy for growing plants. Most plants have a Fertility requirement of at least 50% (except trees at a measly 30% Fertility). Plant growth speed is also positively correlated to soil Fertility. However, fertility does ''not'' affect the harvested yield from a plant, just the time to mature to that yield. Different [[terrain]]s or growing apparatuses have different fertilities.

Most plants have a [[Property:Fertility_Sensitivity|fertility sensitivity]], known internally as fertilityFactorGrowthRate, which is used to determine how "picky" a plant is about terrain fertility. A plant with a [[Property:Fertility_Sensitivity|fertility sensitivity]] of 0% will not care if it is planted on fertile soil or sand; it will grow at the same rate on any possible terrain tile. In contrast, a plant with a [[Property:Fertility_Sensitivity|fertility sensitivity]] of 100% will not grow so well if it is planted on anything less fertile than standard soil.

'''Note''': Beyond 100% Fertility, high Fertility Sensitivity becomes a bonus rather than a penalty. For such cases highly sensitive plants are preferable.

<big>{{math|''(GRF(F)) Growth Rate Factor(Fertility) {{=}} (Fertility ÷ 100% − 1) × fertilityFactorGrowthRate + 1}}</big>

==== Fertility table ====
{{See also|Terrain}}
The table below lists the fertility of different terrains and other valid places to grow crops. Note that not all of the below support all plants - for example, trees cannot be grown in hydroponics basins, even though the basin's fertility is above their fertility requirement.

|}

=== Temperature ===
For normal growth rate, most plants require a [[temperature]] between {{Temperature|6}} and {{Temperature|42}}.  The plant's info window will show '''Non-ideal temperature. Temperature growth multiplier: #%'''. Plants will not grow, and colonists will refuse to sow crops, when the temperature falls outside the plant's growth range. In most cases this is {{Temperature|0}} to {{Temperature|58}}, although heat-resistant plants such as cacti have a range of {{Temperature|0}} to {{Temperature|75}}. The plant's info window will show '''Non-ideal temperature. Not growing.'''

If the temperature drops below {{Temperature|-10}}, plants start to either die or lose their leaves, depending on their type.
* Most crops die, together with cultivated flowers and cocoa trees. [[Healroot]], [[nutrifungus]]{{IdeologyIcon}} and [[fibercorn]]{{IdeologyIcon}} are the only cold-resistant crops.
* Most wild plants merely become leafless. Mature plants such as [[berry bush]]es can still be harvested even if it's not obvious at first glance. [[Glowstool]]s, [[bryolux]], and [[psilocap]]{{OdysseyIcon}} are fragile and die from the cold.

Each plant has its own temperature threshold, set at a random temperature between {{Temperature|-18}} and {{Temperature|-10}}, which is why not all crops die at the same time. As long as the temperature stays above {{Temperature|-19}}, some crops might survive. Beyond that, they won't.

Leafless plants are inedible by animals. The leafless effect is obvious on deciduous trees, because they are shown without leaves, and on bushes and grass, because they look brown and shrivelled. But it actually applies to all plants, including those that look unchanged, such as pine trees, wild healroot or wild flowers. It takes 24 hours for leafless plants to regrow leaves after the temperature rises back above the plant's leafless threshold. Note that, despite being unedible during that time, they start growing again as soon as the temperature is above {{Temperature|0}}.

An additional reason why animals might starve in cold weather is that deep snow can cover low lying plants and prevent animals from eating them, even if the temperature is not low enough to make them leafless.

The actual values of temperature and temperature growth multiplier are unseen real numbers, the game only shows rounded values. Thus, it is possible, for example, to see a 3% multiplier at 58°C (the actual temperature may be 57.52°C).
{{GraphChart|width=400|height=100|xAxisTitle=Temperature (°C)|yAxisTitle=Growth Factor|type=line|x=0, 6, 42, 58 |y1=0, 1, 1, 0|yType=number}}
<big>{{math|''(GRF(T)) Growth Rate Factor(Temperature) {{=}} Temperature ÷ 6°C {{X| |15}}; Temperature < 6°C}} 
{{math|''(GRF(T)) Growth Rate Factor(Temperature) {{=}} 1 {{X| |44}} ; 6°C ≤ Temperature ≤ 42°C}} 
{{math|''(GRF(T)) Growth Rate Factor(Temperature) {{=}} (58°C − Temperature) ÷ 16°C ; Temperature > 42°C}}</big>

===Light===
Most plants typically require at least 51% [[Environment#Light|light]] to grow.

Decorative Plants typically require at least 30% [[Environment#Light|light]] to grow.

All mushrooms, such as nutrifungus, need 0% [[Environment#Light|light]] to grow. Any light from non-mushroom sources will cause the nutrifungus to die.

When a plant lacks adequate light its info window indicates this with the text <tt>'Needs light level: ##%'</tt>. Over that minimum a plant's growth rate will increase until it reaches its optimal light level (100% standard).
: Example: Rose (Needs light level: 30% Optimal light 100%). In soil or Plant pot (Fertility 100%) under Standing lamp Light (50%) growing Speed 29%)

Most artificial light sources only provide 50% light. Only decorative plants, [[tinctoria]], and [[Fibercorn|fibercorn]] can grow under such poor light conditions. The [[sun lamp]] provides 100% light in its radius, and is thus usually required for any indoor growing.

: <big>{{math|''(GRF(L)) Growth Rate Factor(Light) {{=}}     (Light − growMinGlow) ÷ (growOptimalGlow − growMinGlow)}}</big>

In [[Modding|mods]], this minimum light value can be modified by changing a plant's <growMinGlow> value. A plant's optimal light level can be modified by changing its <growOptimalGlow> value.

==Rest==
[[File:Plants-Growing_Time.png|right|thumb|Overview of the hourly plant activity.]]
All plants rest from hour 19 through hour 5. More accurately, plants rest for 11h of the day, leaving 13h of the day for growing.

During the plant resting time period, plants will not grow no matter the light level.

A new constant, Growing Ticks/Day, can be found by multiplying Ticks/Day by 13/24 (approx. 54.167%) :

<big>{{math|''Growing Ticks/Day {{=}} (60,000 Ticks/Day × 13/24) {{=}} 32,500 Ticks}}</big> 
{{clear}}

==Actual growth time==
The Growth Time displayed in-game can tend to confuse a player into thinking a plant will be fully grown in X number of days. 
Due to the various Growth Rate Factors (Fertility, Temperature, Light) and every plant's need to rest, the growDays or "Growing Time" listed in-game is not an accurate/intuitive representation of how long a plant actually takes to grow. 

<big>{{math|''Actual Growth Time {{=}} (60,000 Ticks/Day × growDays) ÷ (Growing Ticks/Day × GRF(Fert) × GRF(Temp) × GRF(Light))}}</big> 

Therefore, Real Growth days is approximately 1.8462 times bigger than in-game value of "Growing Time". 
For example: If to sow a Potato plant (5.8:growDays), on Soil (1:Fert), experiencing optimal temperature and light 100% of the time (1:Temp, 1:Light), it will take approximately 10.7 actual in-game days to grow. 
It is important to remember this when setting up your growing zones.

==Lifespan==
If they are not harvested or eaten, plants will eventually die. The [[Menus#Messages 2|message]] will be named ''<plant> died from rotting''. The counting of their lifetime starts when the plant is sown/spawned. Since plants only grow during certain hours, and growth rate varies greatly under different circumstances, it is possible for a plant to die before it reaches full maturity or even while still on the initial progress. A plant will also die from rotting if it is completely deprived of light - for example, if a roof is built over it.

The lifespan of a plant is calculated by multiplying the plant's ''growDays'' by its ''lifespanFraction''.
Most vanilla plants have a default ''lifespanFraction'' of 5, but some go as high as 8. Trees have this property as well, but due to their long growth time (''growDays''), their lifespan is longer than is generally relevant. 

== Types of plants ==
There are no clear categories of plants provided by the game. For the purpose of easier comparison, plants can be split in the following categories. Note that many plants fall in more than one category.
* '''[[Wild plants]]''' are plants that can't be planted by the player.
* '''[[Decorative plants]]''' are plants that can be planted by the player and which main purpose is to add [[Beauty]] to a room or area.
* '''[[Trees]]''' are plants that yield wood or have "tree" in their name.
* '''[[Domesticated plants]]''' are plants that can be planted by the player and yield something else than wood.
* '''Food plants''' are plants that yield food.
* '''Resource plants''' are plants that yield something else than food and wood.

<references/>

== Yield ==
The yield of plants with products depends on four factors:
# The base yield of the plant
# The maturity of the plant. Plants that are harvested at the first possible moment (at growth 65%) will only grant half of the total normal yield; this scales linearly towards full harvest as the growth percentage increases. This gives a slight penalty to early harvests.
# The health of the plant. Damaged plants will lose up to half of their yield. A plant at 50% health will lose 25% of the yield.
# The [[Plant Harvest Yield]] of the harvesting pawn which acts as a scalar on the resulting number.
# The [[AI Storytellers#Economy|Harvest Yield]] storyteller variable - note that [[Difficulty]] settings change variable even if a custom difficulty is not selected.

As plant harvest yield increases with [[Skills#Plants|Plants skill]], pawns with the highest skills should ideally be used to harvest plants, while any pawn can be used to sow them.

== Plants per pawn ==
{{Move|section=true|destination=Food|reason=Alternative destination: [[Food production]]. Avoid redundancy. Those pages are way more specific while this page covers all plants not just food plants}}
The number of food-bearing plants required per pawn depends on a number of factors, including:

* Hunger rate of the pawn
* Soil type, including the use of [[hydroponics]]
* [[Meal]] type's nutrient efficiency
* Whether [[meat]] is available
* Light times including the effect of latitude, sun lamps, and sun blocking [[events]] and [[condition causer]]s such as [[Eclipse]]s
* [[Plant Harvest Yield]] of the harvesting pawn
* Whether pawns are allowed to eat before they are hungry enough to reap the full benefit from the nutrition offered by the meal.
* Whether the pawn has a large enough [[Saturation]] bar to reap the full benefit from the nutrition offered by the meal.

=== Quick reference ===
The table below assumes humans with a [[Hunger Rate Factor]] of 100% are fed in a manner that the maximum [[overeating]] occurs and the plants are harvested with a [[Plant Harvest Yield]] of 100%.

{{Plants Per Pawn Table|{{#var:hungerRate}} }}

To calculate the number of plants per pawn for non-vegan meals in addition to the other ingredients needed, calculate the following:
* For [[packaged survival meal]] multiply the numbers for [[simple meal]] by 3/5.
* For [[fine meal]] divide the numbers for [[vegetarian fine meal]] by 3.
* For [[lavish meal]] divide the numbers for [[vegetarian lavish meal]] by 2.5.

==Plant growth approaches==
The player has a number of options to get plants grown for food and raw material. Each of them has their up- and downsides and a proper mix of them is necessary to be resistant to disruptions, including seasons.

===Fields===
You just define a growing zone, select the crop and let nature and your pawns set to growing do the rest.

'''Upsides:'''
* No cost, excluding the work time to clear trees, sow crops, and harvesting.
* Available at the start, regardless of technology level

'''Downsides:'''
* Outdoor growing is dependent on the local seasonal weather and even impossible in the coldest biomes
* Highly vulnerable to irregular temperature variations such as [[Events#Cold snap|cold snaps]] and [[Events#Heat Wave|heat waves]] that could stop growth or even kill plants
* Outdoor growing is vulnerable to events like [[Events#Toxic fallout|toxic fallout]] and [[Events#Volcanic winter|volcanic winter]]
* Without walls, raiders can easily set your crops ablaze and wild animals can eat your crops. Tamed animals can be excluded via zones however

=== Greenhouse ===
The Greenhouse is a walled and roofed growing zone, with a sun lamp providing light and heaters or coolers maintaining climate

'''Upsides:'''
* Walling off your crops keeps out raiders and wild animals
* Low costs for the walls and sun lamp alone
* Full resistance to temperature variations once [[heater]]s or [[cooler]]s are built
* Slightly increased growth, due to the persistent 100% lighting level from the sun lamp during the day
* Energy shortages will only kill existing plants if the temperature gets too extreme
* Immune to events like toxic fallout and volcanic winter

'''Downsides:'''
* Trees cannot be planted in greenhouses
* Needs tiles that can support building walls to support the roof, which is difficult in swamp biomes
* High energy costs for maintaining sun lamps
* Requires electricity research to unlock

==== Open roof greenhouses ====
Only indoor rooms can control temperature, however any room is considered indoors so long as less than 1/4 of the tiles are unroofed, up to a limit of 300 unroofed tiles. Though unroofed sections increase the rate of temperature equalization significantly, this allows the creation of greenhouses that can be used to grow trees, which cannot usually be grown under [[roof]]s, or even without sun lamps.

These are constructed like most greenhouses, but with the [[remove roof area]] order used to remove 1 tile fewer than 1/4 of the roof. If for growing trees, these removed areas should be spaced 1 tile away from each other gap both horizontally and vertically, as trees cannot be sown next to each other. For growing traditional crops without a sun lamp, this should all be concentrated in one area to limit time spent traveling from place to place while sowing and harvesting.

Due to the costs of controlling the temperature, using this strategy to avoid the cost of sun lamps may or may not break even depending on the biome and the heating or cooling required. In cold biomes, combination with a [[steam geyser]] can significantly reduce heating costs, making this strategy much more viable regardless of the intent. If using [[campfire]]s to heat the greenhouse, they should be placed in the roofed areas to prevent additional fuel usage during inclement [[weather]].

'''Upsides:'''
* Does not require sun lamps or even electricity
* Can support trees, including [[cocoa tree]]s.
** When used for trees, no larger than is necessary as trees can't be planted adjacent to each other anyway.
** Forces trees to be sown perfectly spaced without having to micromanage it, improving yields/area
* Easy to convert to and from more traditional greenhouses

'''Downsides:'''
* Needs significantly more heating/cooling
* 4x larger for the same volume of non-tree greenhouse space
* Slow and/or difficult to adapt to changing weather conditions.
* Net wood-negative when using campfires to grow trees.

===Hydroponics basin===
[[Hydroponics basin|Hydroponics]] allows plants to grow without soil by using nutrients dissolved in a water bath. In-game, it requires research to unlock and the construction of one or more Hydroponics basins. These basins will override any growing zone they are placed on top of.

'''Upsides:'''
* Basins provide fertility of 280%, the highest rating in the game
* Plants with high fertility sensitivity grow especially well
* Can be combined with [[#Greenhouse|greenhouses]] for growing in environments too cold or hot for outdoor plant growth, including mountains
* Requires less space for the same amount of crop growth - this makes it easier to defend and faster to travel to.

'''Downsides:'''
* Building a sun lamp and 24 basins (the maximum amount of basins that can fit within a sun lamp's radius of light) requires a huge resource and power commitment, requiring 4580 watts, 1720 steel, and 24 components.
* If the basin loses power or breaks down, the plants within will begin taking rotting damage which will kill most plants within 8 hours unless power is restored or the basin is repaired. If the power stays off for an extended amount of time or the basin cannot be repaired, then harvesting the plants as soon as possible is recommended.
* A power outage including [[Events#Solar flare|solar flares]] can wipe all of your hydroponic crops, requiring extensive replanting and usually disrupting food production.
* There are fewer options for growing crops within hydroponics basins.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.10.785|0.10.785]] - Rebalanced and reformatted plant ecology tunings to lengthen crop cycles and slow wild plant spread. Reworked plant growth in relation to light levels so plants can still grow slowly in dim light (e.g. tundra summers).
* Beta 19/1.0 - All non-tree sowable crops yield 20% less when harvested and take 10% longer to sow.

Ideoligion

2026-04-07T19:48:30Z

Sudobash418: Add moodlet durations to Charity precept and use templates for mood values

{{Ideology}}
{{Stub|reason=Add Nomadic and space habitat precept. Shipborn meme requirements/associated not implemented. traders guild}}
'''Ideoligions''' are both a system of mechanics introduced by, and the primary focus of, the [[Ideology DLC]]. They allow colonies to introduce a variety of new restrictions and capabilities to change gameplay, as well as new interactions with other factions.
{{TOCright}}

== Type of ideoligion ==
Whenever you start a new game, you will see the Ideology selection menu once you've selected a world tile.

* '''Ideology system inactive''' - Disables most of the Ideology system. Player colonies and factions will no longer have any ideoligion. With this option, you can create any ''style'', or cosmetic variant, of building (click the circle icon in the [[Architect]] tab, right next to the search bar).
:However, some aspects of the ideoligion system remain. You can still assign a [[Leader]], and will have access to a funeral and 2 [[ritual]]s - a dance party and drum party.{{Check Tag|Verify|Extremely quick testing}} In addition, there will be 3 randomized [[relic]]s that you can search for.

* '''Create ideoligion (fluid)''' - Design an ideoligion that can change over time.
:A fluid ideoligion only has access to 1 [[meme]] at the start of the game, which cannot be a high impact meme. Otherwise, a fluid ideoligion has the same customization options as a fixed ideoligion. The difference is that a fluid ideology can change over the course of the game. As you gain [[#Development points|development points]], you can add / remove memes, and re-customize just about everything else.

* '''Create ideoligion (fixed)''' - Design an ideoligion with complete control.

* '''Presets''' - Use an ideoligion already created for you. Want to live under the mountain, but don't want to make a full ideoligion? Pick the "Mole people" preset. You will start with a Funeral and 2 other random [[ritual]]s, as well as a random [[relic]]. Other aspects of the ideoligion will also be randomized.
:For example, the "Classic-like" preset will have the following precepts:
<div style="column-count:2; width:600px">
* [[#Corpses|Corpses: Ugly]]
* [[#Insect meat|Insect meat: Despised]]
* [[#Marriage name|Marriage name: Usually man's]]
* [[#Eating nutrient paste|Eating nutrient paste: Disgusting]]
* [[#Physical love|Physical love: Free]]
* [[#Women's spouses|Women's spouses: One only]]
* [[#Men's spouses|Men's spouses: One only]]
</div>

=== Development points ===
{{For|a guide for how to convert a non-fluid ideoligion to a fluid ideoligion via save editing|Fluid ideoligion save conversion guide}}
Fluid ideoligions are mostly the same as a static one, but can be changed over time through development points. When you have enough points, you can reform the ideoligion. It costs 10 points for the first reformation, and increases by +2 per reform until a max of 20 points. You cannot "store" points; once you can reform, no more points are gained.

Development points can be obtained in the following ways:
* Performing [[rituals]]. Rituals will give a varying amount of points depending on if they are "anytime" rituals or "dated" rituals, how many rituals the ideoligion has and the quality of the ritual. If a ritual achieves a goal that awards development points (such as a conversion), both the points for the goal and the ritual are received in full. Anytime rituals (including funerals) give 1 point for a good outcome and 2 points for a great outcome.
Dated rituals grant more points the fewer rituals the ideoligion has, -as detailed below- however Funerals, Gladiator Duels, Blinding, and Scarification rituals '''''Do not''''' count for the following table.

Reformation allows you to add ''or'' remove 1 meme, ''or'' change the structure of your ideoligion. If you add a meme, you cannot remove / replace another meme or change structure. In addition, you can only add 1 [[style]] at a time. All other changes are unlimited.

== Forming an ideoligion ==
An ideoligion consists of many separate aspects to customize:

'''Primary'''
* '''[[#Structure|Structure]]''' - What deities (or lack thereof) that followers believe in. Examples include ''Abstract theist'', that "god(s) are formless and everywhere", or ''Christian origin'', which is closer to the Abrahamic religions of the west. Structure helps determine the randomized names and lore of your ideoligion. This is almost entirely cosmetic, but can add a few ritual options.

* '''[[#Memes|Memes]]''' - The basic beliefs of the ideoligion. An ideoligion with the ''Cannibal'' meme will definitely enjoy human meat. Each ideoligion can have up to 4 memes. Most memes do not add much on their own, but affect what precepts the ideoligion has and cannot have. Some memes have access to [[roles|specialists]].

* '''[[#Precepts|Precepts]]''' - What a follower's belief systems are. Precepts directly determine how colonists will react to certain actions. An ideoligion with ''Cannibalism: Preferred'' will have followers enjoy eating human meat. An ideoligion with ''Cannibalism: Required (Ravenous)'' will want to eat human meat for every meal.
:Certain precepts have statistical effects beyond mood. For instance, ''Drugs: Essential'' boosts drug crop yield, synthesis speed, and sell price. These tend to be locked behind their associated meme.

'''Secondary'''
* '''[[Rituals]]''' - Special occasions, from Dance Party to Animal Sacrifice to Funerals. Every time you do a ritual, you can end up with a good or bad outcome. Good outcomes will increase colonist [[mood]], and come with a special, defined reward. For example, a spectacular festival can give you a random recruit, or cause a [[gauranlen pod]] to sprout.

:You can increase the chances of a good outcomes by following the ritual's requirements. A funeral can be done without your colonist's body, but the quality will be increased if the corpse is buried.

* '''[[#Roles|Roles]]''' - Every ideoligion has a Leader and Moral Guide. From there, you can have up to 2 types of specialists. A Shooting Specialist will be great at ranged combat, but is unable to do many types of skilled work. Note that you can have as many specialists of a specific type as you want. For example, you can have 3 Shooting Specialists in a single colony, but cannot have a Shooting, Plants, AND Research specialist in the same ideoligion.

* '''[[Relic]]s''' - Ideoligions can have relics. Relics can be either Legendary [[quality]] weapons or specific types of items that serve no other purpose. Relics must be found from a specific, multi-part relic hunt quest, which can take many years. Having a relic present will cause a number of benefits.

* '''Buildings''' - Buildings used by your ideoligion: [[altar]]s, [[sacrificial flag]]s, etc. Largely used for rituals. Altars and the like will eventually be demanded by followers of your ideoligion in a temple room.

* '''Preferences''' - Ideoligions can prefer [[apparel]], [[weapon]]s, and [[xenotype]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} as well as venerate specific [[animal]]s. Colonists will like having/being around preferred items. Whether a colonist will dislike a non-preferred item is dependent on the preference in question.

'''Descriptive'''
* '''[[#Styles|Styles]]''' - How buildings made by an ideoligious builder will look. Largely cosmetic. However, it interacts with the Diversity of Thought precept. If colonists are neutral or bigoted, then they will enjoy being near styles of the same ideoligion. If colonists appreciate Diversity of Thought, they will enjoy being near styled buildings that their ideoligion could not make. Certain styles will affect more or less buildings.

* '''[[#Cultures|Cultures]]''' - Roughly where your ideoligion comes from. Astropolitian represents those coming from space. Corunan represents [[New Tribe|tribes]] in general. Entirely cosmetic.

* '''Lore''' - A randomly generated description of the ideoligion, based off of memes, structures, cultures, etc. Entirely cosmetic.

* '''Icon / color''' - An ideoligion's icon is used whenever an ideology will be displayed. The color of the icon will be a preferred color for followers. Followers gain a {{+|1}} moodlet for wearing their ideology's color, or their own favorite color. All colors require [[dye]] and the same amount of dye.

== Certainty ==
{{Main|Certainty}}

'''Certainty''' is how willing a colonist is to maintain their current ideoligion. Conversion attempts reduce certainty. Once certainty hits 0%, a pawn's ideology will change.

== Structure ==
Choosing your structure affects which symbols the game uses for your ideoligion, and allows for the selection of some rituals that would otherwise require specific memes. It also influences some random generation options and flavor text but these can be overridden by player selection.

Additionally, the [[Ancient]] factions, [[Outlander refugee group]],{{RoyaltyIcon}} [[Beggars]],{{IdeologyIcon}} [[Pilgrims]],{{IdeologyIcon}} and the [[Horax cult]]{{AnomalyIcon}} do not have any culture assigned to them; therefore they may use any existing one randomly.

== Styles ==
{{recode|section=1|reason=Use collapsibles to allow a non-intrusive display of the styles where the reader can tab between the styles}}
An ideoligion can have 0-3 associated styles. People belonging to that ideoligion will apply those styles when making specific items. Colonists will get thoughts based on the styles of the objects around them, depending on their ideoligion's [[#Diversity of thought|diversity of thought]] precept either for having surroundings match or not match their ideoligion. Neutral surroundings produce no thought. If multiple styles of an ideoligion affect the same object, left-most applies. Note that building appearance in the construction menu will be based on your primary ideoligion, but the actual building might be different if built by a pawn of a different ideoligion.

=== Style dominance ===
Pawns consider objects with style dominance within 27 tiles outdoors, or in the same room regardless of distance. An item is considered "uniform" if pawn's ideoligion can build it, and "diverse" otherwise, regardless of the actual style: for example, a totemic table will be considered diverse for an ideoligion with morbid and totemic styles, because the morbid style overrides totemic tables. If the total style dominance of uniform or diverse objects is at least 10 more than the other category, pawns will get an appropriate thought; the actual style of the object does not matter for stacking either: a morbid slab and a totemic slab in the same room will be uniform for an ideoligion with both styles, cancel each other out and give no thought for an ideoligion with one of those styles, and diverse for an ideoligion with neither.

An ideoligion with no styles would still consider its own buildings (such as ideogram), but not ritual seats, to be uniform.

Clothing, whether worn or placed on the ground, and uninstalled objects have no impact on style dominance.

== Memes ==
You must choose one to four memes at the beginning of your playthrough to form the foundational ideas of your ideoligion. Some have much more gameplay impact than others. Hovering over a meme will show you the information in this table.

<nowiki/>* Appears on faction's options but conflicts with required meme 
<nowiki/>** Since only two memes available, one of Individualist OR Collectivist must be chosen 
<nowiki/>*** Only restricts what memes can be auto-generated and loaded from saved ideoligions, can otherwise lack or possess any memes

=== Natural goodwill with other factions ===
Additionally, Supremacist and Raider have {{Bad|-50}} with everyone, Loyalist {{Bad|-10}} with everyone, and Guilty {{Good|+10}} with everyone. There is a {{Good|+10}} bonus for having the same ideoligion.

Modifiers stack, but each pair only applies once; for example Flesh purity + Cannibal vs Flesh purity + Cannibal give {{Good|+10}} for Flesh purity/Flesh purity, {{Good|+10}} for Cannibal/Cannibal, and {{Good|+10}} for Flesh purity/Cannibal.

== Precepts ==
{{Recode|reason=Convert mood descriptions to [[Template: Thought]]. {{Error|DO NOT}} convert without adequate detail to fully utilize the template, including max stack count, duration etc.}}
Associated precepts have a chance to appear if a meme is present, but can still be removed if not required.

Some precepts are available to all ideologies, some require at least one of the enabling memes, and some may be unavailable if certain memes are present.

=== Present in every ideoligion ===
There are 19 issues (precept categories) that are present in every ideoligion and may not be removed. However, their level may be changed. They include "basic" precepts from the base game, used in "Play Classic".

| Demanded || Why get old? One must have a once-yearly age reversal treatment in the biosculpter pod. || [[#Transhumanist|Transhumanist]] || '''Mood:''' {{Thought|desc=I'm getting old. I should get an age reversal in a biosculpter pod.|label=harmful aging|value=-4|stack=1}}, if a pawn with at least high expectations and a biological age of 25 didn't have age reversal in the last year. {{Thought|desc=My youth is draining away.

*Initial colonists, newly generated pawns (due to events, quests, raids, etc.), as well as pawns after changing map due to Archonexus quest have a 20 to 40 day grace period before they start demanding age reversal (it will replace their age reversal demanded date, even if it would come after that period).
*Whenever a pawn's faction or ideology change they'll get a 15-20 day grace period before they start demanding age reversal (unless their next age reversal demanded date will come after that period).

== Roles ==
{{Main|Roles}}
Roles are positions available to pawns that grant them both special benefits and drawbacks. Every ideoligion has at least two roles: [[Leader]] and [[Moral guide]]. There can be only 1 '''leader''' globally, and 1 '''moral guide''' per ideoligion.

</div>

Additionally, each ideoligion grants up to 2 types of [[specialist]]s; a role that grants large bonuses and abilities related to a specific field in exchange of inability of doing one or more types of work. This limitation only applies to the type of specialization, not the total number of specialists.

== Rituals ==
{{Main|Rituals}}

{{Ritual table}}

== Relics ==
{{Main|Relic}}
Relics are objects revered by your ideoligion that require a series of quests in order to be obtained. These are always of legendary quality, when applicable. Relics grant various bonuses, both when found and when present in rituals, some of which require being placed in a [[Reliquary]]. A relic being lost causes a malus of {{Thought|desc=The relic has been lost! A travesty!|label=relic lost|value=-5|stack=5|duration=30}} while a relic being destroyed causes a malus of {{Thought|desc=The relic was destroyed! A travesty!|label=relic destroyed|value=-5|stack=5|duration=30}}.

When placed in a Reliquary, pilgrims of your ideoligion will visit your colony to pay reverence to the relic.

== Buildings ==
Ideoligions can add special buildings that are required for either rituals or as statues of that ideologion.

=== Ritual seat ===
Ideologions can have a maximum of 1 type of ritual seat.

== Weapon preferences ==
Ideoligion can have one or several pairs of noble and despised weapons types. Weapon pairs can't be combined if they overlap.

Wielding a noble weapon grants +3 mood while wielding a despised one grants -5.

Killing any pawn{{Check Tag|Verify}} with a noble weapon grants +3 mood for 1 day{{Check Tag|Thought Template|Convert to thought template}} while using a despised one to attack anything - including objects - grants -5 for 2 days.{{Check Tag|Thought Template|Convert to thought template}}

== Apparel preferences ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Missing several details inc but not limited to how it spawns on pawns}}

=== Apparel type combinations ===
Some kinds of [[apparel]] can be set as desired apparel.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Apparel type !! Name
|-
| [[Apparel#Headgear|Headgear]] || [[Authority_cap|Authority cap]], [[Beret]], [[Bowler_hat|Bowler hat]], [[Broadwrap]], [[Ceremonial_hood|Ceremonial hood]], [[Cowboy_hat|Cowboy hat]], [[Face_mask|Face mask]], [[Flophat]], [[Headwrap]], [[Hood]], [[Ritual_mask|Ritual mask]], [[Shadecone]], [[Slicecap]], [[Tailcap]], [[Torture_crown|Torture crown]], [[Tribal_headdress|Tribal headdress]], [[Tuque]], [[Veil]], [[Visage_mask|Visage mask]], [[War_mask|War mask]]

|-
| [[Apparel#Skin|Skin]] || [[Button-down_shirt|Button-down shirt]]
|-
| [[Apparel#Outer|Outer]] || [[Burka]], [[Robe]]
|}
The player can set any of these pieces to be desired for men, women, or both, and can choose between a relaxed and strong desire. Multiple kinds (a maximum of 9 {{Check Tag|Verify?|Verify what's the limit?}}) of apparel can be chosen. You can select both a relaxed and a strong desire for the same gender / apparel type combination, for example, a female relaxed headgear and a female strong headgear. Note that selecting the same apparel type and preference twice will result in a conflict, for example, if you select a female: strong cowboy hat and an everyone: strong hood. To maximize the number of available desired apparel:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Apparel type !! Gender / Preference combination
|-
| [[Apparel#Headgear|Headgear]] || Female: relaxed Female: strong Male: relaxed Male: strong [[Face_mask|Face mask]]

|-
| [[Apparel#Outer|Outer]] || Everyone: relaxed Everyone: strong
|}

=== Mood effects ===

Wearing a desired apparel or a certain color has mood effect on the pawn.

==== Desired apparel ====

Pawns that are wearing all of their desired apparel will gain a small mood bonus of {{+|1}} for a relaxed desire, and {{+|2}} for a strong desire. There is no difference in the mood bonus for having multiple pieces of desired apparel in the ideology, the bonus is only for wearing all of their desired apparel. Unlike role-specific apparel, there is no mood penalty for not wearing desired apparel.

==== Color mood effect ====

Ideoligions have an ideoligion color. Pawns gain a gain a {{+|1}} mood buff if more than 60% of a colonist's apparel is their favorite color or the color of their ideoligion. If their favorite color and their ideoligion's color are the same, they will gain both mood buffs for a total of {{+|2}}. For a full list of valid apparel color options, see the [[Dye]] page.

The color of the ideoligion can be set at generation, while a pawn's favorite color is determined when the pawn is generated.{{Check Tag|Children?|Confirm when children gain a favorite color}} Apparel can be dyed at the [[styling station]] for one [[dye]] per piece of apparel. Note that unlike with preferred apparel, outside of the [[Man in Black]] event, pawns will not necessarily spawn wearing color that matches their ideoligion or preferred colors.

=== Spawning ===

Pawns that have an ideologion with desired apparel may spawn wearing it. The criteria for this are not fully understood, but pawnkinds that do not spawn with apparel that occupies the coverage and layer of the item preferred by the ideoligion appear to always spawn with the item. If the pawnkind does have conflicting apparel that may, or is required to, spawn, then a portion of those pawnkinds will spawn with the apparel. This can lead to knock-on effects, such as some Empire [[Empire#Cataphract|Cataphracts]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} spawning with hats in place of their [[cataphract helmet|helmets]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} making them weaker in combat. Note that this also applies to colonist spawns, including at game start. In any case, it is unknown if this is limited by the apparel value limits imposed on some pawnkinds.

{{Stub|section=1|reason= Needs proper write up. Test if specific to Sanguophage or the implanter gene. Also [[Template: Thought]]}}
Believers consider this xenotype to hold a higher moral or spiritual status than others. They will be happy if their colony has only preferred xenotypes. However, having any preferred xenotypes means that all other xenotypes are considered disliked and believers will be unhappy living alongside them.

Up to three [[Xenotypes]] can be selected as preferred xenotypes, including baseliner and a custom xenotype. If at least one is selected then a positive mood will be generated if every colonist is a preferred type, but a negative scaling mood if even one colonist is not a preferred type.

Believers will not accept becoming a non-preferred xenotype via reimplant ability or [[xenogerm]]s. If [[Sanguophage]] is not a preferred type and at least one other preferred type is set, colonists will refuse Sanguophage xenogerm implantation and quests that award Sanguophage xenogerm will fail to give the reward.{{Check Tag|Fail?|Will not offer that as a reward? Will generate as a reward but not give it? Will not generate the quest? Will not generate the option that would be to receive the xenogerm? Will replace it with something else?}}

* Preferred xenotype: {{+|10}}
* Disliked xenotype: {{--|30}}

== Venerated animals ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General stub. Also: Check body size requirements. Add Table of options with bodysize and hunger/body size}}
{{Quote|This animal is considered by believers to hold a special spiritual or moral status, which means it must be venerated and may never be harmed.|Description}}
An ideoligion can have up to 18 venerated [[animal]]s.

Colonists will not hunt or attack venerated animals with ranged weapons (but will attack them in melee), unless the animal is in manhunter mood. They will not slaughter tame venerated animals.

Colonists will butcher venerated animals without any issue, but will refuse to eat their [[meat]] or any meal made with it (including meals stacked together), even when starving. They can be manually ordered to eat such food, but will get -8 mood for 5 days. If a colonist that venerates an animal is unconscious, other colonists (of any ideoligion) will not feed them such food, and '''cannot''' be manually ordered to do so. Colonists take no issue using [[leather]], [[wool]], [[milk]], or [[eggs]] of the venerated animal.

Colonists will get -5 mood for 5 days if a tame venerated animal dies for any reason. Releasing tame animals is fine.

Colonists will get a positive thought for the amount of tame venerated animals in the colony, depending on their total body size divided by the total number of colonists: +2 for 1 or more, +3 for 2 or more, +4 for 4 or more, and +5 for 6 or more. In case of multiple venerated animals, all their body sizes are added together, producing a single thought. All colonists are counted for this, but only those of an appropriate ideoligion will get the thought.

Despite being tameable, [[Insectoids]] cannot be selected as a venerated animal.

Venerated animals are twice as easy to tame.

== Hair and tattoos ==
An ideoligion has associated hairstyles, beards, and tattoos. Specific hairstyles and tattoos may be allowed for men, women, or either. Some of those may be more or less common.

Newly spawned pawns of an ideoligion will always have matching appearance.

If pawn's hairstyle, beard, or tattoo do not match what their ideoligion allows (usually as a result of a conversion), they will try to use [[styling station]] on their free time to automatically change their looks, and will have a {{--|2}} mood penalty{{Check Tag|Thought Template}} until they do so. They can also be sent to adjust their appearance manually.
