Cylume Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Music soothes the savage dupe. No spa deep underground in an asteroid mining facility is complete without some relaxing music to calm your nerves. 'just a small AOE from a phonograph or music box could make all the difference for a dupe border-lining on a nervous breakdown. If you really want to get fancy... how about a powered PA system so we don't have to keep cranking an antiquated device every time we want to hear a tune. This is the "Space Age" after all isn't it?

HabdomeRaider Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I really like the idea of a piano actually. One dupe can be assigned to play it, and other dupes nearby can be soothed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_PYRO42_ Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 For big colonies. More dupe per tail relaxing, passing by dupes relaxing. Cost 1 dupe constantly making music, heavy material(gold?) cost, end game tier. Cool and easy to implement. Problem: When you can just spam paints everywhere, why would you waist 1 dupe 24/7 on music? Needs purpose. (stress relief max cap for each sources of relief?)

chromiumboy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I read the title of the thread and now I'm imagining a bunch of stressed out dupes all playing the recorder (poorly). Decreases their stress with the drawback of increasing your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightcrazystar Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Instead of physical instruments, just learn to build a sequencer next to the super computer. Use computer to unlock through research and arrange sequences - pipe them through the base with speakers. For more customizing, let people use midi files they upload. It takes power to play them and time to unlock them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because with instrument you can have diffusion devices like far far away speakers that can bring stress relief to workers, plus having a way to improve some Dupe Art stat without having him to repaint and rebuild the whole base!

Mcleane Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I love the idea of a ealry game record player that need to be cranked to charge a battery and then will play for early game and then a research that allows for a PA system that automates the process for mid-late game.
