Editing Outdoors

'''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 a 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.

=== Strategies ===

* 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 your Rec Room outdoors will allow your pawns to see nature while they unwind.
* Manually Draft them and move them outside for awhile.
* Pawns not under roofs will gain Outdoors faster than under roofs.
* Testing is needed to see if Events like [[Events#Aurora|Auroras]] cause pawns to gain this need faster.

-== 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 outdoors need can only drop below 20% when under overhead mountain, however, if the outdoors need is already below 20% and the value would otherwise decrease, it will not increase. It will simply stay where it is.
-The changes in each circumstance are displayed below. The value changes every {{ticks|150}}.

 * 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.
+* Build your Rec Room outdoors will allow your pawns to see nature while they unwind.
 * 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%.
+* Testing is needed to see if Events like [[Events#Aurora|Auroras]] cause pawns to gain this need faster.
