The Discomfort Moodle shows how uncomfortable a character feels. It has four levels, from A Little Uncomfortable to Extremely Uncomfortable.
Discomfort comes from heavy protective gear, bad sleeping spots and harsh conditions. It causes stress, and stress can lead to unhappiness over time. At low levels the effect is small. At the top level, stress climbs straight away. The biggest risk comes during sleep, when even mild discomfort can leave a character badly stressed by morning.
Discomfort Moodle Levels
The moodle grows through these stages, from mild to worst.
| Level | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | A Little Uncomfortable |
| 2 | Uncomfortable |
| 3 | Very Uncomfortable |
| 4 | Extremely Uncomfortable |
Discomfort Moodle Causes
Clothing is a major cause. Many protective items carry a discomfort rating. Helmets are the most common offenders, along with bulletproof vests and some sports gear. Items that make breathing harder are the worst.
Weather moodles add discomfort. Each level of the Wet, Hypothermia and Hyperthermia moodles raises it.
Sleeping spots matter. Sleeping on the floor causes a lot of discomfort, and a poor bed causes some. A pillow takes a little of the edge off.
Riding in a vehicle while overloaded adds discomfort. Dragging corpses does too.
Discomfort Moodle Effects
A Little Uncomfortable is the first level. The character feels a little uncomfortable. The stress it adds is small and usually fades as fast as it builds.
Uncomfortable is the second level. The tooltip blames clothes, the environment or something else. Stress still builds only slowly.
Very Uncomfortable is the third level. The character begins making sounds of discomfort.
Extremely Uncomfortable is the last level. Stress starts to rise at once.
Sleep is the exception at every level. Discomfort during sleep can push stress very high by the time the character wakes.
Long stress above the second stress level leads to unhappiness. That is how discomfort ends up lowering the mood.
How to Fix the Discomfort Moodle
Removing the cause clears discomfort at once. Taking off an uncomfortable helmet or vest drops it straight away. Stress already caused lingers longer.
Before sleeping, take off armour pieces and find a comfortable bed. A good bed and a pillow keep stress down overnight.
Drying off, warming up or cooling down clears the weather-related discomfort.
Drinking alcohol reduces discomfort for a while.
Discomfort Moodle Traits
Desensitized means the character ignores discomfort entirely. Heavy helmets and hard floors leave that character calm.

- Sleep in a proper bed with a pillow to avoid stress.
- Discomfort mostly matters at the top level or during sleep.
