| − | [[File:Colonist needs beauty.png|frame|right|The Needs tab.]]Colonists have a "Mood (%)" and a "Mood Target", shown in the [[Needs|Needs tab]]. A "Mood Target", shown as a white triangle below the mood bar, is a representation of all the positive and negative [[thoughts]] held by a colonist and changes instantly depending on the colonists exact situation, while "Mood" is a blue bar that represents a colonist's mood in that exact moment. Pawns have a base mood of 32 and the baseline is affected by the [[AI Storytellers#Colonist mood|Colonist Mood]] AI storyteller setting - note that the default difficulty options also change this setting. | + | [[File:Colonist needs beauty.png|frame|right|The Needs tab.]]Colonists have a "Mood (%)" and a "Mood Target", shown in the [[Needs|Needs tab]].

The Mood bar moves towards the Mood Target indicator at a maximum rate of {{+|12}} per [[time|in-game hour]] when mood is increasing or {{--|8}} per in-game hour when decreasing. For example, when a Hungry colonist (-6 mood) eats a meal, you'll see the mood target immediately jump to the right as the Hungry effect disappears, but the mood bar takes some time to inch its way toward the triangle. When a colonist is sleeping or otherwise unconscious, the mood bar stays in place, and any risk of a mental break is paused. | The Mood bar moves towards the Mood Target indicator at a maximum rate of {{+|12}} per [[time|in-game hour]] when mood is increasing or {{--|8}} per in-game hour when decreasing.
