Each colonist has many things that may affect his or her mood.
Below is a list of the thoughts that colonists can experience.

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.
When a thought occurs a thought bubble may briefly occur above the pawn's head. Red bubbles indicate negative thoughts, while green indicated positive ones.

Thoughts

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