Ildefonse Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 When I first started playing the game, I ticked and unticked various jobs depending on how good my dupes were at it. Later, I found myself wondering why some very stressed out dupes weren't using the massage table. I thought it was a bug, and tried rebuilding the tables etc. Only later did I find that those dupes had the massage "job" unticked, and as such were refusing to take massage. I assumed that the massage job was them actually giving a massage, not simply using the (autonomous) massage table. So this can be quite confusing, maybe it's best to remove "Massage" from the jobs list altogether, as you'd probably always want all your dupes to take massages when needed (you can always raise the %), or somehow categorise this differently so it's not listed as a "job".

AileTheAlien Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yeah, this makes no sense. All the other jobs are active things they do to provide something for the rest of the colony. This one's just them sitting on a table being lazy.

SkyNet_65 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 No. It is very usefull how it is right now. Same applies to the food list. Especially at the beginning of your colony, you might want to prioritize those dupes who can harm your colony when stressed - Binge eaters and destructive stress responses are the worst. Hence they always have top priority in my colonies - May eat luxury food and use massage tables. My ugly cryiers are often not allowed to use a massage table at the start. They do the smallest damage and even deliver some water. That way i also reduce the massage table utilization.

AileTheAlien Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I can see how it's useful (although I've never used it myself), but the massage "job" still doesn't belong in the jobs menu. It would be pretty useful to have a different place, where you could restrict expensive things that relieve stress. Maybe a "relax" menu? Would be pretty useful as the same UI as jobs, just for different things. i.e. A checkbox for massages, each type of food, and any future things that might go in the game. (Duplicant table-tennis?)

vovik Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 How do you bring dupes to stress response? i cant manage doing that, no stress response in like 100 cycles and no massage table... Maximum stress was 71 when i forced them to build a water tank from inside, but that was at cycle 70 or so.

AileTheAlien Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Holding their breath, walking through water, catching slimelung, popped eardrums, decor not satisfied, hungry, using outhouses...

Zarquan Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Stress is very easy to increase, especially on Fatalistic. If the decor is bad and you use waterlocks without exosuits and have a high pressure area, then stress becomes a massive issue that needs to be dealt with.

TV4Fun Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm fine with the massage job on the job menu, but I think the wording should be changed. Maybe "receive massage" or "be massaged" could be better.

Holding breath doesn't seem to do that.
