It is one of a colonist's [[Needs|needs]]. Prisoners, visitors, enemy pawns, and animals do not have the Joy need. 

Colonists gain joy in two ways:
* Consuming something pleasurable, such as [[chocolate]] or [[beer]].
* Doing an activity, such as playing [[horseshoes pin|horseshoes]] or watching [[tube television|television]]

Colonists may do joy activities when their [[Menus#Restrict|timetable]] allows. Some activities require nothing more than an allotted time while certain activities require the relevant building or item. Certain items can only be purchased from traders. Some activities have an added benefit of improving skill experience points. Colonists develop an increasing tolerance, or resistance, to a kind of activity the more it is done. Tolerances are shown in the Joy tooltip (hover the mouse over the joy meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup.

The joy meter has thresholds that trigger [[mood]]-altering thoughts. No thoughts are triggered from 30% to 69%.

[[File:ChessTable.png|48px|left]]<i>In-game description:</i> The ancient game of kings. Fun for a few hours here and there, even playing alone.

Colonists will play chess with another colonist, or alone to 'practice'. Chess improves the player's [[Skills#Research|research skill]] at a meager rate. 

For a colonist to use a chess table, there must be at least one seat facing it.

Size: 1 x 1<br>
Beauty: varies by material, see below.

A chess table can be made from any material:

<i>In-game description:</i> A cathode ray tube display for showing moving pictures with sound. Even on the rimworlds, there is often an old transmitter running something at least marginally interesting.

A tube television (TV) must be either bought from an exotic trader or researched and built. They are placed like sculptures, and require a place to sit, facing the right way (towards the TV). Unlike a chessboard, the seats must be placed between with a 1-tile gap from the TV.

Televisions can also be viewed for enjoyment by people residing in medical-designated beds of all types.

== Activities ==

=== Building snowman ===
In cold biomes after some snow has accumulated a colonist may build a [[snowman]].

=== Going for a walk ===
When a colonist goes for a walk, this means that they path around the area they started at for a while with no reason. They take twice as long as most other activities to finish and yet still have the same tolerance gain rate.

=== [[Joywire]] ===
Gives permanent +30 to mood, but also causes the implantee to suffer a permanent penalty to Consciousness, which affects virtually all of their jobs and activities. Thus, it is recommended for chronically depressive colonists, but not for your best soldiers.

Note that it increases mood, but not joy, meaning that colonists with this implant still need to carry out joy activities from time to time.

=== Meditating ===
Meditating is the act of your colonists going into their private room and sitting in a corner for a while while in solitary. Like most other activities, this has a length of 4000 ticks and an average tolerance gain rate.

=== Playing billiards ===
One or more colonists will wander around the billiards table, taking shots. Raises the shooting skill in a similar way to the horseshoes.

=== Playing chess ===
A chess table requires adjacent chairs to be used. Up to two colonist can use a chess table at once. Slowly raises the Research skill.

=== Playing horseshoes ===
One to three colonists take turns throwing horseshoes at the post from approximately 5 blocks away. Playing Horseshoes raises the shooting skill.

=== Praying ===
Similar to Meditating, but lasts shorter and is only done by certain colonists. <br>
In the game files, each colonist has a value determining whether or not they will pray.

=== Relaxing socially ===
If a campfire or table is enabled as a Gather Spot, colonists will stand in the vicinity of the campfire, or sit at a chair or stool beside a table. If beer is available, a colonist may carry a bottle while relaxing, without actually consuming the item. This action has been shown to occur among colonists with the Chemical Interest trait, the Teetotaler trait, and no trait in regards to alcohol.

Contradictory to its name, colonists can carry out this activity when alone, while still gaining Joy at the same rate.

=== Skygazing ===
Skygazing is the act of your colonists simply laying on the ground in an outdoor (area without a roof) area and facing upwards. The game has a few flavor text names such as "Cloudwatching". This activity is the same length of time that most others are and the same tolerance gain rate.

=== Using telescope ===
A colonist will stand behind the telescope's viewfinder for some time. The telescope must be placed outside and will not degrade from weather.

Oddly, colonists may use it during daytime.

=== Visiting grave ===
Colonists will visit a filled [[grave]] or [[sarcophagus]].
