Each colonist has many things that may affect his or her mood.

Below is a list of the thoughts that colonists can experience.

Needs

Main article: Needs

Each colonist continually needs food, rest, and joy. Additional meters indicates the colonist's experience of beauty, comfort and space.

Each of these is represented by a blue bar on the Needs tab.

The blue bar shows how well off the colonist is as to level of each of these. A red arrow indicates that a level is decreasing. A green arrow indicates that a level is increasing.

Below each of the meters for beauty, comfort, and space there is a small white triangle which indicates the colonist's current perception and shows where the blue meter will come to rest.

Mood

Main article: Mood

The Needs tab also displays a blue meter for the colonist's mood.

Arrows, colored red for decreasing or green for increasing, show which direction the colonist's mood is going.

The white triangle shows where the mood will come to rest if nothing changes.

The threshold lines indicate the points at which this colonist may suffer a breakdown.

Thoughts

Colonists may have any number of thoughts that affect their overall mood:

As of version 0.15.1279 (29 August 2016) colonists no longer get a 'catharsis' mood gainer after a mental break.
