| − | Dwarves will occasionally go '''on break'''. Breaks last | + | Dwarves will occasionally go '''on break'''. Breaks last several days and dwarves tend to take breaks every few months. Dwarves on break will behave as though they are jobless, and will wander between their [[bedroom]]s and public meeting places. There is no way to force a dwarf to work while on break, therefore the best use of this time is boosting the happiness of said dwarf. A high [[quality]] [[dining room]], [[statue|statuary]], [[zoo]], or [[Activity zone#Meeting Area|meeting area]] will help in this respect. If a dwarf can be confined there by [[burrow]]s, a [[danger room]] can still be used while the dwarf is on break, making this another productive use of the time spent on break. |
Breaks probably do you more bad than good. Idling dwarves are never a good thing, as they do no work, only build [[social skill]]s, and tend to build friendships which will make them happier right now but can lead to temper [[tantrum]]s later on if someone really well-liked passes away. On the other hand, they do give dwarves time to examine [[furniture]] and raise their [[happiness]]. | Breaks probably do you more bad than good.
