+ | Colonists may do recreation 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 Recreation tooltip (hover the mouse over the recreation meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup. Currently there are 9 types of recreation - solitary relaxation, social interaction, television watching, cerebral play, dexterity play, music, telescope study, chemical consumption, and food consumption. | ||

+ | Colonists on [[caravan]] gain recreation while stopped at a rate of 10% per hour, of the Solitary type if they are alone, or a mix of Solitary and Social if two or more colonists are on the same caravan. Tolerance is gained at an equivalent rate to Extremely Low Expectations, regardless of the expectations at the colony or the amount of wealth taken on the caravan. | ||

+ | === Recreation tolerance === | ||
+ | Colonists develop an increasing tolerance, or resistance, to specific types of recreation the more it is performed. Tolerances are shown in the Recreation tooltip (hover the mouse over the recreation meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup. | ||
− | + | Recreation tolerance reduces recreation gained proportionally. Recreation tolerance gained is 2/3 of the recreation value increase from the activity. For instance, A colonist consuming 4 units of chocolate at 0% gluttonous tolerance would gain 40% recreation and 26.7% gluttonous tolerance. Eating another 4 immediately would only provide 73.3% of 40% or 29.3% recreation gain and 2/3 of 29.3% or 19.6% gluttonous tolerance. Recreation tolerance only increases when an action increases recreation. | |

− | |||
− | + | Recreation tolerance decreases while awake at a rate dependent on the wealth of the colony, with higher wealth colonies needing more recreation variety to combat the lower rate of tolerance decrease. It has 6 stages at different wealth values. | |
− | + | Additionally, [[conceited noble]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} have Noble and Royal Expectations at the ranks of Baron and Count respectively. These expectations replace the effects of regular expectations. Note that despite only being seen in-game with the [[Royalty DLC]] activated, these expectations are defined in the Core game. | |
− | + | Finally, [[Ideoligion#Roles|Ideoligious Roles]] can increase the expectations of the pawn by two levels, so a pawn that would normally have Low Expectations would then have High Expectations. To prevent these "going off the scale", at High and Sky-High, Elite and Supreme are used instead. Note that despite only being seen in-game with the [[Ideology DLC]] activated, these expectations are defined in the Core game. | |

This should be toggled '''off''' on all tables/campfires except for one in your preferred rec/dining room. Not toggling can cause people to gather and have parties at any table (or campfire), perhaps in the middle of an ugly, dirty, dangerous abandoned mining site, making everybody unhappy.

This article is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Severely outdated, desperately in need of cleanup, need overview/comparative analysis of recreation items and strats. 2) books and any missing rec types. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
Recreation is a stat: Recreation is the need to have fun. Repeating the same kind of activity makes it less fun, so variety is necessary. Its default value is 100%.
Recreation is one of a colonist's needs. Prisoners, visitors, enemy pawns, animals, and slaves do not have the recreation need.
Colonists gain recreation in two ways:
- Consuming something pleasurable, such as chocolate or beer.
- Doing an activity, such as playing horseshoes or watching television
Colonists may do recreation 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 Recreation tooltip (hover the mouse over the recreation meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup. Currently there are 9 types of recreation - solitary relaxation, social interaction, television watching, cerebral play, dexterity play, music, telescope study, chemical consumption, and food consumption.
Injured colonists will only ever engage in recreational activities that can be done in bed, such as watching television. A television is therefore a good investment for every hospital.
Colonists on caravan gain recreation while stopped at a rate of 10% per hour, of the Solitary type if they are alone, or a mix of Solitary and Social if two or more colonists are on the same caravan. Tolerance is gained at an equivalent rate to Extremely Low Expectations, regardless of the expectations at the colony or the amount of wealth taken on the caravan.

Recreation thresholds[edit]
The recreation meter has thresholds that trigger mood-altering thoughts. No thoughts are triggered from 30% to 69%.
Threshold | Label | Mood Effect | Thought |
---|---|---|---|
85 - 100 | Recreation fully satisfied | +10 | I've been enjoying myself so much, I love it! |
70 - 85 | Recreation satisfied | +5 | I've been having a great time doing various things I like to do. |
15 - 30 | Recreation unfulfilled | −5 | I could really use a break for something enjoyable. |
0 - 15 | Recreation deprived | −10 | We need more variation in recreation activities, and i need time to enjoy them. This place is really dull. |
0 | Recreation-starved | −20 | It's been so long since I did anything for fun on my own time. |
Recreation tolerance[edit]
Colonists develop an increasing tolerance, or resistance, to specific types of recreation the more it is performed. Tolerances are shown in the Recreation tooltip (hover the mouse over the recreation meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup.
Recreation tolerance reduces recreation gained proportionally. Recreation tolerance gained is 2/3 of the recreation value increase from the activity. For instance, A colonist consuming 4 units of chocolate at 0% gluttonous tolerance would gain 40% recreation and 26.7% gluttonous tolerance. Eating another 4 immediately would only provide 73.3% of 40% or 29.3% recreation gain and 2/3 of 29.3% or 19.6% gluttonous tolerance. Recreation tolerance only increases when an action increases recreation.
Recreation tolerance decreases while awake at a rate dependent on the wealth of the colony, with higher wealth colonies needing more recreation variety to combat the lower rate of tolerance decrease. It has 6 stages at different wealth values.
Additionally, conceited nobles have Noble and Royal Expectations at the ranks of Baron and Count respectively. These expectations replace the effects of regular expectations. Note that despite only being seen in-game with the Royalty DLC activated, these expectations are defined in the Core game.
Finally, Ideoligious Roles can increase the expectations of the pawn by two levels, so a pawn that would normally have Low Expectations would then have High Expectations. To prevent these "going off the scale", at High and Sky-High, Elite and Supreme are used instead. Note that despite only being seen in-game with the Ideology DLC activated, these expectations are defined in the Core game.

Activities[edit]
Building snowman[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Requirements, snowing, snow on the ground, both, range to area, effects etc.. |
In cold biomes after snow, a colonist may build a snowman.
Cloudwatching[edit]
See "Skygazing", below.
Going for a walk[edit]
When a colonist goes for a walk, this means that they aimlessly path around the area they started from. This takes twice as long as most other activities to finish and yet still has the same tolerance gain rate.
Meditating[edit]
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[edit]
One or more colonists will wander around the billiards table, taking shots. Raises the Shooting skill in a similar way as horseshoes.
Playing chess[edit]
A chess table requires adjacent chairs to be used. Up to two colonists can use a chess table at once. Slowly raises the Intellectual skill.
Playing hoopstone[edit]
One to three colonists take turns throwing stones through the ring from approximately 5 blocks away. Playing hoopstone raises the Shooting skill.
Playing horseshoes[edit]
One to three colonists take turns throwing horseshoes at the post from approximately 5 blocks away. Playing horseshoes raises the Shooting skill.
Playing poker[edit]
One to four colonists will sit at chairs adjacent to the table and play poker. Playing poker raises the Intellectual skill.
Playing the game of Ur[edit]
A Game-of-Ur board does not require adjacent chairs to be used. Up to two colonists can use a Game-of-Ur board at once. Slowly raises the Intellectual skill.
Praying[edit]
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[edit]
A gather spot or gathering spot works like a loosely defined social "zone", allowing your pawns who are idle or seeking Social recreation to gather together in a specifically centered area. This also can keep them from getting lost when they're not doing anything productive.
If you have a "gather spot" enabled, colonists will gather here to socialize for recreation, especially when idle. 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.
Tables and campfires (only) can be designated as gather spots, and are so designated by default when constructed. You can have more than one gather spot, in which case an idle/social pawn appears(?) to choose the closest one when the mood to gather hits them. This should be toggled off on all tables/campfires except for one in your preferred rec/dining room. Not toggling can cause people to gather and have parties at any table (or campfire), perhaps in the middle of an ugly, dirty, dangerous abandoned mining site, making everybody unhappy. Gather spots can be turned off by toggling a command while that object is selected (bottom of the screen).
Contradictory to its name, colonists can carry out this activity when alone, while still gaining Recreation at the same rate.
Skygazing[edit]
Skygazing is the act of your colonists simply laying on the ground in an outdoor (area without a roof) area and facing upwards. It requires clear weather. The game has a few flavor text names such as "Cloudwatching", and at night is called "Stargazing". This activity is the same length of time as most others are and the same tolerance gain rate.
Stargazing[edit]
Can happen between about 2000 (8 PM) and 0100 hours (1 AM) with clear weather. See "Skygazing", above.
Using telescope[edit]
A colonist will stand behind the telescope's viewfinder for some time. The telescope must be placed outside (unroofed) and will not degrade from weather.
Oddly, colonists may use it during daytime.
Visiting grave[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Reports that tomb impressiveness affects recreation rate. |
Colonists will visit a filled grave or sarcophagus.
Viewing art[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Please add a reason . |
The pawn will stand next to an installed art piece for an extended time.
Watching the eclipse[edit]
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: general also does the recreationonly apply to people with the meme or just the mood. also link to the correct precept.. |
Eclipse only gives a mood bonus to pawns with with the Darkness meme.
Watching the sunset[edit]
Can happen around 1900 hours (7 PM) with clear weather. See "Skygazing", above.
