Showering Urist McFisherdwarf with ☼jaguar meat roast☼s does not mean a happy dwarf if Urist keeps dwelling over their grouchiness at being caught in the rain. |
* Stressed dwarves with a high [[Personality trait|ANGER_PROPENSITY]] may lash out in a [[tantrum]], and severely injure or kill others; a corpse in your dining room will lead to horrified thoughts from any dwarf taking a quick booze stop. Make sure to de-stress these dwarves first, or, if lacking the ability to do so, [[expel]] them, [[Solitary confinement|lock them in their own rooms]], or experiment with [[Magma|radical cures]]. | * Stressed dwarves with a high [[Personality trait|ANGER_PROPENSITY]] may lash out in a [[tantrum]], and severely injure or kill others; a corpse in your dining room will lead to horrified thoughts from any dwarf taking a quick booze stop.

− | * Dwarves that are highly prone to stress, i.e. a high [[Personality trait|STRESS_VULNERABILITY]] trait, are not suitable for the military or as [[nobles]]. You will have to remove them from these duties and, in extreme cases, isolate them with burrows to insulate them from [[Thought|stress-inducing stimuli]]. You might be able to get away with giving high-stress dwarves a "vacation" | + | * Using a tool such as [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]], you can sort dwarves by stress level. There you can hold the mouse over the stress square to see the reasons why the dwarves are stressed and address them. Look up their preferences, assign them jobs that match their preferences, and build stuff they like, especially in their rooms. |

You might be able to get away with giving high-stress dwarves a "vacation" or demote them for example from a captain to a mere soldier. Also, don't give high-stress dwarves the Refuse Hauling labor, since they often handle dead bodies. | ||
* Dwarves who have to go outside for extended periods of time (like [[Fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]] who work near the local [[lake]] or [[river]]) become stressed due to constant exposure to [[rain]] and long periods away from fun (not [[Fun|that kind]]) and their friends. You can give these workers their own little vacation by disabling their labors and letting them spend some time inside at the [[tavern]] until they regain their composure. Let an unstressed dwarf take care of the job for a while. | * Dwarves who have to go outside for extended periods of time (like [[Fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]] who work near the local [[lake]] or [[river]]) become stressed due to constant exposure to [[rain]] and long periods away from fun (not [[Fun|that kind]]) and their friends.

Specifically, they will need something to cover the upper body, such as a shirt, something to cover the lower body, such as trousers, and something on each foot, such as a sock or shoe. |
* If a dwarf dies, [[coffin|bury them]] or [[memorial|engrave a memorial in their name]].

− | * | + | * Instead of [[Dwarven atom smasher|vaporising]] old dwarven clothes, rather sell them to the caravan. Otherwise, every destroyed masterpiece sock will stress its creator. |

* Restrict your mayor/expedition leader to low-stress areas. Overstressed dwarves will chase them down, outside in the rain if necessary, to complain about how utterly traumatized they are from being rained on. | * Restrict your mayor/expedition leader to low-stress areas.
