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.
Pawns roughly need one hour "outdoors" for every 15 hours indoors.
Need thresholds
Characters' outdoors level is grouped into six thresholds: Free, 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:
| 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. The value changes every 150 ticks (2.5 secs).
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.
| No Roof | Constructed Roof Rock roof (Thin) |
Overhead mountain | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoors | +0.0125% | −0.0008% | −0.001125% |
| Indoors and in Bed | +0.0125% | −0.00016% | −0.000225% |
| Outdoors | +0.02% | +0.0025% | −0.001% |
| Outdoors and in Bed | +0.02% | +0.0025% | −0.0002% |
Strategies
- Most pawns that aren't 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.
- 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%.
