Dream and Desire

This mod gives wishes to your colonists, these wishes appear over time, they have a determining factor on your colonists's moods. As the comfort of your colonists progresses, their wishes also become more complex.



The balance is not perfect and never will be. There will always be a setting where a wish will be too difficult, while being really easy in other cases.
Since I didn't play that much in late game, the balance for late game is a bit messy and there's also a lack of wishes for this stage of the game, so I don't advise just adding the mod to a save that's too advanced.
It's problably better to start a new game with this mod, it will also give you a better idea of my intentions through this mod.

If you think a wish is too difficult for it's tier, don't hesitate to let me know.

If you really feel the wish debuff hit to hard, you can tune down the unsatisfied wish debuff in the mod setting, but try to play first with the default value and to play more around your pawn mood (check tips below).



Pawn get wish randomly as time pass, traits and passions affect the chance to get a specific wish. The wish scale with pawn expectation. Pawn with high expectation will wish for more complex stuff.
Sometime pawn can wish for thing above their expectation, if it happen they won't get debuff from these wishes but will be happy if you make some progress or fulfill them.

When a pawn have a wish, he get some small mood debuff over time, it's his frustration and impatience, but when progress are made it will reduce this frustration in favor of a small mood buff. In some case a wish can regress, it fill the pawn with sadness.
If a pawn has a breakdown, all these debuffs will be reset.

For each fulfilled wish mood buff a pawn get an increased chance to have an inspiration.

Some wishes can basically be already fulfilled. Depending on natural mood trait (optimist/pessimist) a pawn will keep these wishes, sanguine pawn will always keep them when other have more or less chance to dismiss them.

Pawns who don't wish for anything since a while will progressively become sadder and sadder, witnessing the emptiness of their life, but even the slightest envy can dispel those sinister thoughts.

Pawns with a specific trait won't care about wish, but that trait is not common.

You can dismiss a wish who started few time ago, but the pawn will get a small mood debuff for multiple day.
Each dismiss thougth on a pawn will impact is mood higher and the wish won't count to prevent the no wish debuff.
To dimiss a wish, you need to open the wish's letter before the possibility timeout.

Wish are show in the Pawn's need UI, rigth click on one will send a letter who contain the wish information, helpful if the wish description is too long.



There are many wishes, so I'm not going to list them individually, you'll discover them as you play, but here's what a pawn may wish for :

- Food
- Drug
- Animal
- Item ( can be in a specific room )
- Room
- Bodypart Modification



Just don't use it with the old version nor with a save that used the old version.



I've started to make this mod a while ago, I could still add so many things to this mod, but I don't have the desire to continue it. I'm releasing this version mainly because I wanted to publish a clean one.
I will still update if there need to fix bug, rebalance things or add wishes if I have some idea that within the current possibility.

The mod would always benefit to have more wishes, but like I said above I problably won't add many.
It's possible to add wish only througth xml, I didn't detailed what does each value, but I can explain them if someone is really interested.

• Situation : My pawn have a total of 20 debuff stack that give -25 mood to this pawn.
  
  1. Make some wish progress. A wish ask for 3 new pets? get 1 new pet, it's a wish progress! It will remove multiple debuff stack and even give a mood buff!
     
  2. Find other way to up your pawn mood, eating a lavish meal give a +12 mood buff.
     
  3. Let your pawn breakdown, it's not the end of the world and it will remove all pending debuff.
     
• You don't need to instantly fulfill a wish. You can even get a better result fulfilling it slowly since your pawns will profit more from the wish progress mood.
  
  
• You can dismiss a wish, don't abuse it or you can end up in a worse situation than just keeping it. So use this option sparingly only for wish too difficult for your colony. Remember : you have a short time to dismiss a wish and to do it you need to rigth click on the label in the need UI, the option is in the sended letter.
  
  
• Pending (unsatisfied) debuff are removed when the corresponding wish comes to an end either because you fulfilled the wish or because the wish has failed. When a wish is about to fail, this debuff can be high, but it will soon be removed with a simple failed wish debuff.
  
  
• When a pawn have a mental break remember you have the possiblity to arrest him and directly release him, it stop the mental break. The pawn won't get the carthasy buff, and even have a arrested debuff, but all wish pending did reset.
  
  
• I encourage you to play with the current setting, but you can change the unsatisfied debuff impact in the mod settings if you wish.
