Detailed Notes

• Guild System

  Whisker guild system provides buffs and debuffs for each guild. Each guild has three traits that improve efficiency in specific roles. Guild Association affects whisker performance and happiness.
• Miner Guild

  Miners carry more but eat more. Best for ore gathering and resource extraction. Miners with strong shoulders trait can carry significantly more.
• Engineer Guild

  Engineers keep machinery in industrial buildings running longer. Best for workshops, smelters, and advanced production facilities.
• Explorer Guild

  Explorers resist cold and get bonuses on open ground without roads. Valuable for outdoor work, scouting, and cold climate colonies.
• Farmer Guild

  Farmers work at 150% speed in agricultural roles. Best for crop management, food production, and farmland maintenance.
• Approval Rating

  Approval rating directly impacts colony success. Affected by clothing (threadbear = bad), pollution, food quality, and housing. Approval is a spendable resource, not just a meter.
• Expectations

  Educated/skilled/positive trait whiskers have higher expectations. Negative traits like Nosy lower expectations (benefit). Manage expectations to avoid happiness penalties.
• Education Levels

  School enables specialization. Apprentice level for skilled workers. Craftmaster level for highest productivity who can also teach others. Educated whiskers enable research.
• Traits to Prioritize

  Look for strong shoulders, swift, and optimist traits. Avoid snores, weak, sickly, unsafe worker, slow, heavy eater, and pessimist traits.
• Godlike Combinations

  Certain trait combinations are extremely valuable. Never skip if found in wild. Combine positive traits with appropriate guild assignment.
