Try setting your mushroom farmers (and anyone else who works in unpleasant conditions) to shorter work shifts with longer leisure time, then designate a few of your 48 dupes to be full time mushroom farmers and have them work in morning/evening or day/night shifts to ensure you've always got someone tending the crops. I will see what can be done. Right now, in 5 cycles, I have 12 duplicants at 100% stress and 20 more above 60% and rising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to feed 48 duplicants, they are working a lot to do so (but they have some help from the ranchers since my stables are not fully functional). Which means holding breath + ugly rooms and at the end of the cycle, hungry and full bladder. I do not see myself to have exosuits for my farmers only to harvest mushrooms... Why not? None of us would like to work all day in an atmosphere, where we can not breath. So exosuits would be a good solution. Or a shorter work shift. Or a shorter work time in this area (break + setting door permission with automation). I really like this, will start to play the game again after I didn't really played it for like 10 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannick Vachon Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I am just not sure that an existing map can live in this update. Normally, you would have 1-2 duplicants rising in jobs, things would gets out of hands a little, you would adapt and so on. Until this version, providing 10-16 morale for a duplicant who require 24 was enough, for as long as there was massage table available for them to relax. Now, it is not even barely enough. I guess I will have to restart because my base is not built with exosuits for farms in mind. Exosuit to dig in slime or for oil yes, not for farmers. I wonder how much oxygen they will require since they will will be there all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can finally use the higher quality food for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of décor spam and they eat Frost Buns and Pepper Bread when it's around, but my main food stock is Fried Mushrooms. Décor expectations are also incredibly high and I have nowhere near enough entertainment for an existing base to handle it. Half my dupes will go insane while they're trying to build the things that will rescue them from low morale. I agree, this is definitely new base territory, and control your job upgrades heavily. Rancher at +16 might be a bit rough to handle in the early game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can finally use the higher quality food for something. For now, I can't. Ice biomes are almost not existent on my map so frost buns and pepper bread are out of the window. Barbeque require full stables and to feed 48 duplicants, I will require dozens of stables / fish pools. The only option remaining is stuffed berries so I guess I will have to start my bristle and pincha farms ASAP and pray for them to be online fast enough. And that I do not run out of water (but I guess that untaped slush geyser can be useful for this). I might go back a few cycles back as a way of starting this since now, with that many dupes going crazy, I just can't build something up Going to be fun...

I refined 40 tons of gold to make wires around the base, used some for tiles and power plants, I have 2700 kg refined left and 75000 kg that I can refine. But putting dupes on normal schedule with 3 squares of downtime seems to be not enough. They seem to accumulate stress rather quickly when you send them to work, even in exosuits. Need to start new world and see how that will play, but its the move in the right direction for sure. Maybe more dupes with more shifts with longer rest times will be better.

Then to play you'll have to go offline in Steam. Or you can adapt and overcome. Edited July 25, 2018 by AzeTheGreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattee53 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) a priority system for the buildings used during "downtime" phase would be great. Currently i have a lot of massage tables set up and those dupes that need 24 morale is constantly reaching 90% stress level and always go for the massage table instead of prioritizing boosting their morale, so it's an never ending cycle of getting stressed. Low morale stress increase significantly ~80% and since the massage only removes 30% their stress always increase with 20-50% either improve the massage tables effect or increase the priority for getting the available morale boost buffs they are missing. Also i cant find any information regarding how much decor or what food quality they need. Has this been completely changed where quality 1 increase x amount of morale?

It doesn't run all time, apparently multiple (more than 2) dupes can use it at the same time the buff lasts 3 cycles. It's not required by ANY means. You can literally run it from single wheel and small battery. Similar story with Arcade. I don't see anything wrong here either. I do welcome stress being a bit more hard to manage, I have not seen any stressed dupe for ages. Maybe just my play style... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I play on fatalistic, so my dupes gain 20% stress without me doing anything) I am confused. So there are lots of ways to get stress but the message table is capped on the stress it can remove?

Lilalaunekuh Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) If my memory serves me right: Massage tables were able to remove 70% stress and were nerfed to just 30% (% reduction for a full cycle). But my and @mattee53 main concern are dupes missing out on their downtime when they use the massage table the whole day. => My dupes will not raise their morale and will need even more time on the massage table next cycle ... 10 minutes ago, chemie said: Seems like it might be better to ditch message tables and rely on the rec room entertainment instead? I play on fatalistic difficulty, so my dupes will gain at least 20% stress each cycle. => I need way more than 24 morale to prevent my stress level from raising (Or a some time spend on the massage table each day) Edited July 26, 2018 by Lilalaunekuh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it might be better to ditch message tables and rely on the rec room entertainment instead? In this current state yeah... I attached the massage tables to a clock so they are only available during a short time when its "downtime" phase. It works kinda you have to hope that they all get their buffs on during that period. But it seems there is no morale boost for the food they eat so missing out on dancing/arcade time might not be that big of a deal. If the buff for food gets applied and depending on if it is a significant boost to morale. 31 minutes ago, Lilalaunekuh said: If my memory serves me right: Massage tables were able to remove 70% stress and were nerfed to just 30% (% reduction for a full cycle).

They probably shouldn't increase it to 70% again but at least increase its effect while in a massage clinic. An increase would be helpful considering they spend 525 seconds on the massage table out of 600 if the priority for sleep is higher, so it wont even remove 30 if 30% a cycle is correct. so a 30% loss of stress for lost bath time,work and downtime. And if you play on fatalistic you would maybe net a 7% loss of stress without morale included Edited July 26, 2018 by mattee53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
