Is there a way to disable fading for a particular thought?
As in directly, not through the duration filter.

Mile, Thanks for all your amazing work! I really appreciate it <3

Ah okay sorry, thank you

@Eclipse I think that it should probably be on the VE side to add options for their mods. This mod doesnt doesnt even use Harmony so there is not much I can do from my end.

New VE mod cancels bad thoughts with bakery. It is was balanced to use with vanilla mood behavioir so you was not able to "eat out" truly devastating things with debuff more than -15

With your mod it happens that there is a soft incompatibility.
Eg. when your wife's death fades to -15 you can just grab a snack and it is instantly gone.

Could you please make it so it used initial value instead of faded to prevent such behavior?

@Eclipse I dont understand the question?

Сould you please make a patch so initial thought cost was memorised and the -20 initial things were not removed when become -15 and lower?

I've love using this mod and how it impacts my pawns! I chose to have the duration increased and that feels great for my game.

bump

This sounds great and makes sense when looking at how memories behave IRL, gonna test it out for a bit.

@Tank Commander None, its a vanilla feature

How bad is this on performance?

@Tyrant There is no such game mechanic to hook into. This just exposes an existing mechanic to be configurable

What about an option where the mood buff/debuffs fade in as well, using some sort of bell curve where it will rise to its highest value somewhat quickly and then it will start to fade?

@fyodord The memories fade linearly, as it uses the games own code for it.
As for the duration, as mentioned in the description, it is already a mod-option for that

Also it'd be nice if the mood debuff * time total is exactly the same as when I don't use the mod, so this don't just become a mod that makes the game easier

How do the memories fade, linearly? Exponentially? I think I'd like the have the memories fade slowly when it just starts, then rapidly as it approaches the end date.

@Azraile Not sure what you are referring to, this mod only affects memories.

is the spouse mood buff imune to this? >.> or is that an option?

@Mile Huh, must be a different mod or some other interaction then. I'll do some research, thanks for the clarification.

@Postal Not sure what you are referring to. They still get happy the same amount. It just tapers off over time. If the same thing happens again, they still get the maximum amount of happiness.

@Mile that's fair, and I see now in the notes that it's intended. It just gets more difficult in longer-term colonies when your people just don't get happy from anything anymore

@Postal Its intended, just fading the negative would not really make it realistic?

I'm running into an issue where the positive mood boosts are lessening as well. My colonists no longer get boosts from psychic emenators or nice rooms or being comfortable, since those have faded towards zero over time. Is there an option somewhere for the fade to only affect negative moods, or is this intended behavior?

well, i've never been the most perceptive. sorry to bother you, have a good day!

@jeepjumping_jonah All mod pages have supported versions at the top right of the page. This mod also has a large version-number in the preview as well as a version-number displayed right above this comment section.

is this up-to-date with 1.5?

Came to say the same thing as @Joe Stalin, I might have a mod-conflict with VE though

@Gogmagog It affects any time-limited thought

So does this affect moodlets from mods? Sorry if this has been answered.

Yeah, it's fine. I'll try it out again with a fresh save next time. My current playthrough prolly isn't the best to try new mods with, given the difficulty settings lol

@Monkey Magic The default setting is to double the starting value and thus making the total impact the same. But you can change this in the mod-options

I checked the moods before and after added, and yeah it does appear to work retroactively, but iunno if I wanna actually use it (at least right now) coz although it alleviates the stress of some of my colonists, it makes others worse than they currently are.

Can't afford to deal with increased stress right now, since they are all pissed at me to breaking point XD

@Monkey Magic It should affect all active memories when enabled, so yes

Is this mod retroactive?

@Joe Stalin Tested it and the effect of being counselled decays like any other, provided that you havent changed the mod-settings to not include it or have some mod-conflict.

I noticed that counseling via the ideology moral guide adds a mood buff that does not decay. So you can get a net mood benefit from negative memories using this mod and the moral guide ability. To me, that kind of breaks the mod.

Okay, thanks

@roko711 This mod activates fading for all thoughts that are time limited.

does the "x ate human flesh" social debuff from vsie ever fade? it's not my fault one of my pawns drank a bunch of cannibal coffees

Can confirm a divorce is indeed more traumatic than killing my mother!

All of your mods are amazing! Thank you so much for all you do :)

thanks so much, lovely mod, can't live without

Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
I’ve even forgotten my name
I don’t know the season or what is the reason
I’m standing here holding my blade
A desolate place (place) without any trace (trace)
It’s only the cold wind I feel
It’s me that I spite as I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real

Hello! Thank you for a great mod. I translated it into Russian. I hope you don't mind. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880345853

@Strubbelkopp Id rather not since that would require a modification of the vanilla calculations. Perhaps you can suggest it as a separate mod on the mod-market since it would affect thoughts even without this mod.

Hey, I did some math to find a function that describes the mood over time, but instead of the mood effect going to 0 linearly, it is a polinomial, where you can define the duration of the mood effect, the initial value and the degree of the polinomial.
I think it feels a bit more natural and balanced, if the mood effect stays closer to the initial value for a longer time, but towards the end drops more rapidly.
You could maybe integrate a toggle option or define the degree in the mod settings, as that would probably cost more performance (though I don't know how big the effect would be).
Anyways here is the function: m(t) = M0 * (1 - (t / D)^n), where m is the current mood effect, M0 is the initial mood effect and D is the total duration.

@Makadon Not sure I understand what you mean, what slider?
This mod just adds the fading effect on all timed memories, defined as timed by the game itself.

Needs to not affect the 'low expectations' mood. It's a permanent effect of one of the difficulty sliders.

@Xyrlian Yea, this mod only affects memories, not opinions
