I think that butchering gives negative thoughts to some dwarves. It made my full time butcher depressed after a year or two. | I think that butchering gives negative thoughts to some dwarves. It made my full time butcher depressed after a year or two. | ||

:Seeing dead bodies can cause negative thoughts, though thanks to recent balancing those thoughts are less common. The actual act of butchering a critter can also cause bad thoughts if the butcher highly values nature--yours dislikes nature and receives happy thoughts instead. But most of her negative thoughts shown are unrelated (cave adaption, miasma, and unmet [[needs]]). Dwarves' individual [[DF2014:Personality#Facets|personalities]] affect how they handle stress, and your butcher suffered a personality-changing-event in 91 that increased her anxiety propensity. It's likely she would be similarly anxious performing other jobs, though if she were particularly valuable you might be able to preserve her sanity for a while by removing stressors (no more sunlight, corpses, arguments, etc.) and keeping her needs met. Realistically, in the current version personality-changing-events will eventually make every dwarf susceptible to moderate amounts of stress. You can expel problematic dwarves, or draft them into a squad and send them to seize an enemy site. Either way, you'll get fresh migrants who have somehow avoided the twin travesties of sun and rain for their entire existence up to this point, ready to work hard for a few years before they too succumb to stress and must be sent away.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:15, 24 January 2019 (UTC) | :Seeing dead bodies can cause negative thoughts, though thanks to recent balancing those thoughts are less common.
