Squidd's Beauty Rebalance
v0.1
Reduces the impact of the arbitrary impressiveness score on colonist mood and increases the impact of beauty-related mood buffs.
Without mods the de-facto strategy to managing colonist moods is to lump most everything in your base into a single large room which will quickly gain an impressiveness score and several related mood buffs, effectively trivializing mood management while encouraging a bland playstyle. This mod makes some changes to encourage spreading beauty out around your colonists' working area rather than consolidating all of it into a single room.
All positive dining rooms, rec rooms and hospitals now give only a +1 mood buff.
All barracks, including prisoner's now give a -4 regardless of impressiveness.
To counteract the mood loss, the beauty mood impact has been adjusted as such:
Hideous environment: -15 > -7
Ugly: -10 > -5
Unsightly: -5 > -1
Pretty: 5 > 13
Beautiful: 10 > 18
Gorgeous: 15 > 25
Likely to be incompatible with mods that change these mood effects.
