The Happiness bar!

[Bobusx]

We should make the happiness bar actually useful!

If the happy bar is full your character should gain learning points at an accelerated speed, like an extra 10 ~ 50 % depending on how happy he is. But if he is unhappy he should lose stamina much faster while doing shitty tasks like removing stumps. The bar should drain much slower then it does and it should have a few other ways of getting yourself happy. This way the bar actually has some use instead of just sitting there in the UI going " Lol look at me, Im a bar :3"

But first we need to find ways to actually gain happiness.
From my experience, the only thing that made chars happy is killing animals.

There was a thread in the "How do I?" about way to gain happyness just recently. Being naked, eating cake, standing near skeletons and the animal killing all work towards being happy.

One chicken punched to death is about 10~11% Happiness it seems. When I'm really depressed I go kill a flock or let out my bad chickens/cocks and choke 'em to death.

Yeah, I use both hands so don't expect me to be gentle.

i suggest squishing lots of helpless frogs instead.
Hearthlings are really into that, which is highly disturbing.
