Nahrung & Stimmung

Stress crosses its effect thresholds at 20% / 40% / 80%. When it maxes out the unit suffers a Mentaler Zusammenbruch and Stress resets to 0.

Low mood also trips HUD alerts. A squad whose durchschnittlich mood stays below -3 for 180 in-game minutes triggers the Wachsender Unmut Moralkrisen-Ereignis.

Jedes essbare Item trägt eine Nahrungsklasse in seinem ItemSubType:

• vegetarisch (Food_Vegeterian, 13 Gegenstände)
• Fleischfresser (Food_Carnivore, 10 Gegenstände)
• Allesfresser (Food_Omnivore, 2 Gegenstände)

5 misc edibles sit outside those classes. The racial diet rules read the class:

• Elfen erhalten Fleischliche Schuld (-2 Stimmung) when they eat carnivore food, and ignore the usual mood penalty for an all-vegetarian diet.
• Echsenmenschen erhalten Pflanzenwut (-2 Stimmung) when they eat vegetarian food, and ignore the penalty for an all-meat diet.
• Menschen eat anything. Their racial mood quirk is Wachstumsstagnation (-2 Stimmung) whenever their XP bar is sitting at max, so level them up promptly.

Gekochte Gerichte haben außerdem Stimmungswert, and guild quests ask you to stockpile food above a given one.

Sleep quality is a ladder. The comfort mood from sleeping on the ground lasts a fraction of the time a bed gives, and a real bedroom doubles the bed again.

Treatment expectations rise with level. At Normal management difficulty the baseline mood a unit contributes at levels 1 to 5 is 7 / 4 / 0 / -4 / -7, and veterans expect better rooms, food and pay.

Each management difficulty has its own row. The Stimmungs-Simulator shows all of them.

Expeditions drain mood. Each in-game day in the dungeon steps up a Dungeon Stay debuff (see Zeit).

Recreation buildings restore mood. Each of these grants a Mood bonus per play session, about 40 in-game minutes:

• Würfeltisch
• Dartscheibe
• Kartenspieltisch

The exact value is the Played effect listed on each building's page.

• Blumenhalskette gives +2 Stimmung while worn.
• Echoblumenring gives +2 Stimmung, +0.1% Lebenspunkte Regeneration.
• Vergessenes Idol is the opposite bet: Der Bonus auf verursachten Schaden richtet sich nach Stimmung × -8%. Je niedriger Stimmung ist, desto mehr Schaden wird verursacht. It enables a deliberate misery build.

Das seltene Inschrift der Düsternis gibt +20% Stärke, +20% Konstitution, +20% Willenskraft, +20% Intelligenz, +20% Gewandtheit, +20% Wahrnehmung, -3 Stimmung. On a unit whose needs you can keep met it is one of the best stat sticks in the game.
