Editing Outdoors

{{Verified|1.3.3387}}<!--
-->'''Outdoors''' is the [[need]] for every pawn without the [[Undergrounder]] trait to be outside.  Even when landed on a frontier world, most pawns feel the need for the great outdoors. Keeping them inside for too long will eventually affect their [[mood]] negatively.

This isn't much of a concern for certain professions.  Farmers, animal handlers and hunters will go outside quite regularly.  It's more of a concern for pawns whose jobs keep them inside: cooks, builders, tailors, crafters, artists, researchers, etc.

For the equivalent but inverse need for Undergrounder pawns, see [[Indoors]].

== Need thresholds ==
Characters' outdoors level is grouped into six thresholds: ''None'', Stuck Indoors, Trapped Indoors, Cabin Fever, Trapped Underground and Entombed Underground. Each threshold provides a different [[thought]] and thus [[mood]] penalty to a character.

The outdoors levels are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Label
! Outdoors
! Mood Debuff
|-
! ''None''
| > 80%
| ''None''
|-
! Stuck indoors
| >60% and ≤80%
| {{--|1}}
|-
! Trapped indoors
| >40% and ≤60%
| {{--|3}}
|-
! Cabin fever
| >20% and ≤40%
| {{--|5}}
|-
! Trapped underground
| >0.05% and ≤20%
| {{--|7}}
|-
! Entombed underground
| ≤0.05%
| {{--|9}}
|}

Outdoors caps at 0% and 100%.

== Need changes ==
The outdoors status level ticks up or down depending on two factors - the [[roof]] above the pawn, and whether they are considered indoors by room mechanics. . 

Reductions in status level are reduced to 20% of their values while a pawn is in a bed, such as when awaiting an operation, and all changes are frozen while a pawn is sleeping. The changes in each circumstance are displayed below. The value changes every {{ticks|150}}.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1}}
* Most pawns that aren't [[zones|zoned]] out will satisfy this need on their own by going on a walk during [[Recreation]].
* Spacing out your colony buildings from each other can help satisfy this need simply by forcing pawns to walk outdoors between them.
* Build early recreation buildings outside, before you have the ability to create an Impressive rec room.
* Manually Draft them and move them outside for awhile.
* Pawns not under roofs will gain Outdoors faster than under roofs.
* While events will not affect Outdoors, pawns under a thick roof will lose Outdoors ~30% faster, and pawns in bed will lose/gain Outdoors at 20%.
