Soulmask: How to Improve Tribe Mood

Improve tribe mood in Soulmask by ensuring warmth, rest, delicious meals, and comfy furniture for happy, productive tribesmen.

A busy tribe isn’t always a happy tribe, and if you work your tribesmen too hard without giving them any reprieve, it can ruin the tribe’s mood in Soulmask. Maintaining a high mood among your tribesmen is crucial, as it directly impacts their work efficiency and the rate at which they learn new proficiencies. Additionally, a lower mood results in decreased Recognition, which measures how the tribe members perceive you as their Chief. If Recognition drops too low, they can become angry, unproductive, or even leave the tribe.

How to Improve Tibe Mood in Soulmask

Mood can be increased through various means such as ensuring warmth, providing cozy accommodations, offering specific foods, and using hay cushions. Conversely, mood decreases with heavy, ceaseless labor, hunger, cold, harsh conditions, and injuries from battle. Individual traits also play a role in mood fluctuations.

1. Warmth: A primary bonfire, if properly covered, should provide enough warmth for the tribe. Supplementing with campfires and torches around the base can help maintain a comfortable environment.
2. Rest: It’s important to pause or cancel work tasks regularly, giving your tribesmen ample time to rest.

Delicious Meals

Cooking meals that are known to boost mood can significantly enhance your tribe’s overall happiness. Here are some recipes that are particularly effective:

1. Juice: Requires Water, a Cup, and two pieces of Guava, Pineapple, Banana, or Wild Fruit. Juice is a great mood enhancer and is easily made with abundant Wild Fruit.
2. Fruit Kebab: Requires five Fresh Meat, two Bananas, and two Pineapples. This meal provides a substantial mood boost.
3. Hot Cocoa: Requires Water, two Cocoa Powders, two Chilis, and one Cup. Perfect for warming and lifting spirits.
4. Pumpkin Salad: Requires two Pumpkins, two Salsas, and one Chili. Another great option for improving mood.

As you progress through the tech tree, additional cooking recipes will unlock. These recipes will indicate in their descriptions whether they increase mood. Early in the game, Juice is your best bet for mood enhancement due to the abundance of Wild Fruit.

Crafting a large amount of Juice and distributing it among your tribesmen can gradually increase the tribe’s overall mood, as they will automatically consume it once they reach a certain thirst threshold. You can manually adjust this threshold to encourage more frequent consumption, keeping in mind that Juice decays 24 hours after it’s brewed.

Comfy Furniture

Early in the game, your furnishing options are limited to basic beds and grass mats. However, as you advance in the tech tree, especially in the sections labeled “Building,” you will unlock new furniture recipes that significantly enhance comfort.

Reaching an Awareness Strength level of 15 allows you to unlock Furniture in the Medium Building section. This milestone introduces items such as the Dining Table, chairs, larger beds, more lighting options, and an Outhouse.

By focusing on providing warmth, ample rest, delicious meals, and comfy furniture, you can significantly improve your tribe’s mood in Soulmask. Happy tribesmen are more productive, learn new skills faster, and will have higher Recognition, ensuring a thriving and successful tribe under your leadership.
