Template:TocrightRecreation is a stat: How much joy a person has gotten recently. Its default value is 100%. It is one of a colonist's needs. Prisoners, visitors, enemy pawns, and animals do not have the Joy need.

Colonists gain joy in two ways:

Colonists may do joy activities when their 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%.

Joy thresholds

Threshold Label Mood Effect Thought
85  Recreation fully satisfied 10  I've been enjoying myself so much, I love it!
70  Recreation satisfied 5  I've been having a great time doing various things I like to do.

A horseshoes pin is a piece of recreation furniture that provides dexterity recreation when used by colonists, It is the cheapest to construct of all the recreation-related buildings, and tied for the quickest to produce.

It is the equivalent to the Neolithic hoopstone ring, and only available to factions of Medieval tech level or above.

Acquisition

s can be crafted, each requiring and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter. Horseshoes pins can only be constructed by New Arrivals. New Tribes can never construct horseshoes pins, and instead have the exclusive ability to construct hoopstone rings.

Regardless of the material used, a horseshoe pin has no quality level.

Summary

Up to three colonists can use a single horseshoes pin at once, taking turns throwing horseshoes at it. Each instance of this activity lasts 4,000 ticks (1.11 mins), and it increases Recreation need at a rate of ?? per second. It provides Dexterity Play-type recreation.

To be usable, a horseshoe pin must have a standable spot five spaces away. It also needs line of sight to it in a straight line (many structures like chairs, lamps, and tables, do not block line of sight). Colonists can throw through a held open doorway into an adjacent room while playing horseshoes. Mood bonuses for room impressiveness are determined by the thrower's location.

Pawns can stand on the highlighted sections, as denoted by gold tile.

A pawn must have a Manipulation capacity above 0% to play.

Playing horseshoes increases the player's shooting skill at a rate of 0.003 XP per 1 tick (0.02 secs), or 0.18 XP per second.

Analysis

The horseshoes pin is the second weakest of all recreation objects, tied with the Chess table and the Hoopstone ring with a recreation power of only 100%. The only recreation object worse is the Game-of-Ur board, with a meager recreation power of 80%. Because of its low cost and ability to slowly raise colonist shooting skill, it is often advisable to build a horseshoe pin early after starting a colony.

    A hoopstone ring is a piece of recreation furniture that provides dexterity recreation when used by colonists.

    It is the Neolithic equivalent to the horseshoe pin available to factions of Medieval tech level or above.

    Acquisition

    s can be crafted, each requiring and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter. Hoopstone rings can only be constructed by New Tribes. New Arrivals can never construct hoopstone rings, and must instead have the exclusive ability to construct horseshoe pins.

    Regardless of the material used, a hoopstone ring has no quality level.

    For other players, it may be purchased from a Tribal trader.

    Summary

    Hoopstone Ring Area. Colors represent reduction of interaction area if line of sight is blocked in said tile. Gray is the interaction area, yellow prevents 1 tile in the same row/column, Orange prevents all tiles from that side. Red makes no difference.

    Up to three colonists can use a single hoopstone ring at once, taking turns throwing stones at it. Each instance of this activity lasts 4,000 ticks (1.11 mins), and it increases Recreation need at a rate of ?? per second. It provides Dexterity Play-type recreation.

    To be usable, a hoopstone ring must have a standable spot five spaces away. It also needs line of sight to it in a straight line (many structures like chairs, lamps, and tables, do not block line of sight). Colonists can throw through a held open doorway into an adjacent room while playing hoopstone. Mood bonuses for room impressiveness are determined by the thrower's location.

    A pawn must have Sight and Manipulation capacities above 0% to play.

    Playing hoopstone increases the player's shooting skill at a rate of 0.003 XP per 1 tick (0.02 secs), or 0.18 XP per second.

    Analysis

    The hoopstone ring is the second weakest recreation object, tied with the Horseshoes pin, and the Chess table, with a recreation power of 100%. The only recreation object worse is the Game-of-Ur board, with a meager 80%. It is cheap, and should be built once a farm has been sowed and a basic building has been built.

    A telescope is a recreation item that provides "" recreation to a single colonist using it, with a power of Expression error: Missing operand for *.%. It also slowly increases the Intellectual skill. It can only be obtained through trade.

    Acquisition

    Telescopes cannot be crafted, instead they are only available through trade or as a reward from quests.

    Summary

    Telescopes can only be used if the tile that they are placed on is unroofed. Note that the interaction spot need not be unroofed.

    Using a telescope slowly increases the Intellectual skill of the user at a rate of 0.004 XP per 1 tick (0.02 secs)

    A pawn must have a Sight capacity above 0% to use a telescope.

    Analysis

    A telescope is a useful item to obtain if you need to increase recreational variety. While all telescopes only have 120% recreational power, they provide a unique Recreation "study" type that cannot be obtained from any other item. This means the lack of accrued boredom more than makes up for a base recreation power between tier one and two recreational items and unaffected by quality modifiers.

    Colonists using a telescope will also gain a small amount of Intellectual skill, however this is generally not enough to warrant specific action from the player.

    Placement

    While the description states that it must be placed "outside", a telescope can be placed on any unroofed tile. Furthermore, only the telescope tile itself needs to be unroofed; the interaction tile can remain roofed. Thus, a colonist can be kept both indoors and out of the weather by simply unroofing a single tile inside the usual rec room and even gain the usual "impressive rec room" mood buff. A chair can also be placed on the interaction tile to provide comfort to colonist using it.

    Trivia

    Despite being uncraftable, there is a partial recipe defined for the telescope in the game files. Namely, Steel 50 steel and Component 1 component. It is possible this is used to calculate the amount deconstruction returns, or it may simply be cut content.

    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.
    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.
