AHOY!
Long time D40 Poster, 1st time D-2022 Poster!
Did a couple forts just to get used to playing the game again, and am currently on my first "Real" fort which just entered its 4th year.
Midway through the 3rd year, I started seeing people flagged with "Missing time with family" now, I know there were many dwarves with family that had come to the fort, my military commander had two kids, and I figured "AH silly me! I'll give them another job so they can play with the kids!" seems simple right? nope...
The tag persisted, and as time went on I'd see it more and more. Eventually with people who don't even have family at the fort, but just have "family" And I start thinking "WTF mate?" are they just doomed? If someone has a huge family, moves to the fort, are they forever going to be sad and mopey unless THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY moves to the fort somehow?
But, as we may know, this is FAR from the only 'unmet need' that plagues our Dwarves. I mention it, as it seems to be the most numerous. But there are a whole host of other, rather, 'Ambiguous' things... "Has not helped someone" or "has not done something creative" and such...
Now, before it is said, Yes, I did google this, and there seems to be a good deal of debate about just how important "needs" are, if at all, or that some needs can't be met without an insane amount of micro-managing...
that said... I am curious how some of you out in Dwarf land deal with these issues?
So,
