Template:Tocright Joy is one of a colonist's needs. Prisoners, visitors, enemy pawns, and animals do not have the Joy need.

Colonists gain joy in three ways:

  • Consuming something pleasurable.
  • Performing a task that they are passionate about.
  • Doing an activity.

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  Tons 'o' joy 10  I've been enjoying myself so much, I love it!
70  Joy-filled 5  I've been having a great time here recently.
30  Joy-deprived -5  I could really use a break for something enjoyable.
15  Very joy-deprived -10  I never get to relax and enjoy myself around here.
0  Totally joy-deprived -20  It's been so long since I did anything I truly enjoyed.



Buildings

The following can be built from the Architect - Joy menu.

Horseshoe Pins

In-game description: A simple ancient game played with a few horseshoes and a large pin in the ground. Players toss horseshoes from a distance and attempt to get them to land close to or around the pin. It's relaxing, and even trains hand-eye coordination.

To be usable a horsehoe 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). Playing horseshoes increases the player's shooting skill at a meager rate.

Size: 1 x 1
Beauty: 0

Horseshoe pins can made from:
Standard volume material (i.e. Steel): 15
Low volume material (SilverGoldUranium): 300

Chess Table

In-game description: The ancient game of kings. Fun for a few hours here and there, even playing alone.

Sometimes a colonist will play chess alone to 'practice'. Chess improves the player's research skill at a meager rate.

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

Billiards Table

In-game description: A soft-topped bounded table for playing a variety of billiards-type games.

Playing billiards increases the player's shooting skill at a meager rate.

Size: 2 x 3 ~ Needs a space of 4 x 5 to accommodate the playing area.
