Under these categories you can add additional information that doesn't really fit in the list above.

A prisoner was sold

The whole colony suffers a mental penalty for selling a prisoner.

Beautiful environment

This effect occurs when a humanoid's environment opinion rises above 85. See Beauty.

Cooked cannibalism

This thought appears when a colonist eats anything containing human meat in any amount, this thought gives -15 to happiness, this effect stacks, still unknown exactly how much, the effect have a cooldown of 2.0 days, and a colonist eats about 1 time a day, therefore I draw the conclusion that the effect only stacks twice, this obviously needs confirmation.

Cramped environment

This effect occurs when a humanoid's clearance level dips below 15.5.

This means an empty room from 7 to 15 squares, and no dimension is greater than 11:

• 2x6
• 3x4
• 2x7

It may also occur when an area is too cluttered with objects or the humanoid is in the corner of an otherwise spacious room. See Clearance.

Hungry

In darkness

This thought occurs when a humanoid has spent more than 4000 ticks (1/5 of a game day) away from any light source.

The humanoid does not take on this effect when sleeping (whether in darkness or not), but the timer for ticks away from a light source is still active while sleeping.
