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.



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.

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 )
- Wearing apparel
- Room
- Bodypart Modification



The mod would benefit to have more wishes, don't hesitate to tell me if you have some idea.

I factored wish for Ideology, I problably miss some, if you find some odd stuff with it, tell me about it.

I've rebuild the mod from the previous version, I made the previous one with the idea to add more challenge to the game, it's not the case with this new one.
I rebalanced this version to just be a nice touch for your pawn, so overall your pawn should be sligthy happier then vanilla with this version.

I didn't retested every wishes, feel free to report if any of them don't work as the description indicates.

• 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!
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• You can change the unsatisfied debuff impact in the mod settings if you wish.
