The Bored Moodle shows how bored a character is. It has four levels, from Getting Bored to Extremely Bored.
Boredom builds during idle time and repetitive work. On its own, the moodle does nothing. From the second level, though, it makes unhappiness rise, and unhappiness slows every timed action. Long stays indoors and long reading sessions with skill books can push boredom high. Keeping a character entertained protects their mood.
Bored Moodle Levels
The moodle grows through these stages, from mild to worst.
| Level | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Getting Bored |
| 2 | Bored |
| 3 | Very Bored |
| 4 | Extremely Bored |
Bored Moodle Causes
Inactivity is the main cause. Standing idle for too long raises boredom. Being indoors raises it too.
Repetitive tasks add boredom. Reading skill books is a common example.
Poor-quality food raises boredom. Stale and rotten food do the same.
Boredom builds slowly but steadily. A long day of the same tasks indoors can leave a character very bored.
Bored Moodle Effects
Getting Bored is the first level. Its tooltip reads "Occupy yourself, or seek entertainment." It has no effect yet.
Bored is the second level. Its tooltip reads "Why does nothing interesting ever happen around here?" Unhappiness starts to rise.
Very Bored is the third level. Its tooltip reads "Can barely take it any more. Isn't there ANYTHING fun to do?" Unhappiness rises faster.
Extremely Bored is the last level. Its tooltip reads "They never said the end of the world would be like this..." Unhappiness rises fastest at this level.
How to Fix the Bored Moodle
Entertainment lowers boredom. Reading literature helps. Watching television works, and so does listening to CDs or the radio.
Activity helps too. Crafting and building lower boredom. Being outdoors and riding in a moving vehicle help as well.
Company matters. Having other survivors nearby lowers boredom, and so does talking in multiplayer.
Being drunk lowers boredom. Panic of any kind clears boredom completely, though that is rarely a good trade.
Spices in cooked food also reduce boredom from meals.
Notes
- Getting Bored has no effect, but the next level brings unhappiness.
- Mix skill book reading with other literature or television.
- Go outside for a while to break a long indoor stretch.
- Crafting and building keep boredom down.
