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%.
