Moodles

A Moodle is an indicator of what emotional and physical effects your character is currently feeling, similar to status effects in role-playing games.

List of Moodles

File:Anxiety.gif Anxiety

The anxiety moodle will appear when the player is either sick or surrounded by zombies behind door or window. Currently, the only ways to treat Anxiety are smoking cigarettes and creating some distance between the player and enemies. When the player is sick, the anxiety moodle will persistently pop up, perhaps indicating the player's fear of possibly being infected. There are currently no negative effects that come out of anxiety.

Anxious

"On Edge"

Agitated

"Nervous and Jumpy"

Stressed

"Sweaty Palms. Gnawing Fears."

Nervous Wreck

"Terrified"

Anger

The anger moodle pops up for both sides when NPCs reject team requests made by a player or another NPC. Although the "irritated" moodle does not do anything, the "annoyed" moodle will disable friendly reactions. The "angry" moodle will then disable neutral reactions, and only the angry attitude will be left. If the player goes as far as the "furious" moodle, then the player is likely to engage in a duel to death with a NPC.

Irritated

"Bit Narked Off"

Annoyed

"Can't Respond Positively"

Angry

"Can Only Respond Angrily"

Furious

"Likely to start a Fight"

File:Moodle bleeding.png Bleeding

The character is losing blood from an open wound, and is therefore losing health. The severity of the bleeding (judged by the intensity of the moodle background color) dictates how quickly the character is losing vitality. This moodle can be removed by using bandages. If this moodle is not removed, the character can die of blood loss rather quickly.

File:Moodle bored.png Bored

This moodle indicates that the character is bored from inactivity, and is triggered by either remaining indoors for too long or by doing nothing outdoors for too long. This moodle can be removed by reading books, newspapers, and magazines; by writing in a journal; by drawing a doodle; and by spending time being active outdoors. As the moodle's intensity increases, so does the risk of becoming unhappy.

Getting Bored

"Occupy yourself, or seek entertainment"

Bored

"In danger of becoming unhappy"

Very Bored

"High chance of becoming unhappy"

Extremely bored

"Very high chance of becoming unhappy"

File:Moodle cold.png Cold

The character has remained out in the rain long enough to contract a cold. While suffering from the cold the character will occasionally - and often - sneeze. Periodic sneezing will make noise which can attract any nearby zombies to your location where you last sneezed from, the sound of which can fortunately be dampened with tissues, preventing that. To use the tissues place them in one of your main slots. To cure a cold, be sure to eat plenty in order to utilize the healing benefit that comes from being well-fed.

Runny nose

"Slight chance of sneezing"

The sniffles

"Prone to sneezing"

Has a cold

"Sneezing and Coughing. Speed and healing reduced."

Has a nasty cold

"Sneezing and Coughing. Speed and healing severely reduced."

File:Moodle dead.png Deceased

The character has taken too much damage, losing all of their health and has passed away.

Deceased

"High chance of becoming rat food"

File:Moodle drunk.png Drunk

The character has drunk alcohol and has become intoxicated. Drinking more will lead to becoming even more drunk. When drunk, the character will struggle to walk in a straight line. Accuracy is also diminished. This moodle will disappear over time, with sleep speeding up the process. With the light drinker perk, the player will immediately become utterly shit-faced with only half a bottle of whiskey.

A bit tipsy

"Had some booze"

Inebriated

"Coordination slightly impaired"

Plastered

"Coordination impaired"

Utterly Shit-Faced

"Coordination Severely impaired"

File:Moodle endurance.png Exhausted

The character is tired from running or exerting themselves by attacking too much. This moodle can be removed by stopping and standing still to rest, or by walking instead of running. Being encumbered, even slightly, can substantially increase the rate at which the player tires. The more exhausted the player is, the longer it will take for them to recover, which can be dangerous when swarmed. Strength and speed also diminish as the player becomes more exhausted.

Moderate Exertion

"Rest your legs"

The character is becoming exhausted.

High Exertion

"Can't Run"

The character is exhausted.

Excessive Exertion

"Can barely walk"

The character is very exhausted. Usually happens after running a very far distance, when the character is very encumbered or when the character has swung his weapon repeatedly.

Out Of Breath

"Can barely move"

The character is extremely exhausted and will not be able to move. Usually happens after running a very far distance, when the character is very encumbered or when he has swung his weapon repeatedly.
Note: The character will still be able to swing every weapon except the sledgehammer.

File:Moodle heavyLoad.png Encumbered

The character is carrying too many items and is unable to move at their usual speed. This moodle can be removed by dropping items, placing them in containers, or by consuming the proper items. The total weight assumes you have no other positive or negative moodles that affect strength. As the moodle increases the player will be unable to do more actions before becoming exhausted. Eventually leading to health loss from back injuries.

(Note: The numbers below are for a default, normal status with no Hauling Skill or Hunger Moodle positive/negative effect.)

Total Weight: 8+

"Carrying a little too much"

The character is encumbered.

File:Hypothermia.png Hypothermia

The character is too cold due to a lack of warm clothes, staying outdoors, or a cold weather. To combat hypothermia, the character can wear warmer clothes, stay indoors, or can build a campfire. Although getting higher levels of cold claim health endangerment, as of the current build, there are no negative effects to the health.

Hungover

This moodle that pops up indicates that you have been staying too long outside while or after intoxication. Only solution is to stay in indoors. (This moodle does not affect your character.)

File:Moodle hungry.png Hungry

This moodle represents the character's hunger state. A red background dictates that the character needs to eat food. A green background shows that the character is well fed. Being fed boosts strength and healing rate, depending on the amount of food consumed, while being hungry has the opposite effect (reducing strength and healing rate).

Also, depending on your Hunger status, your Carrying Capacity will change.

File:Moodle panic.png Panicked

The character is panicking at the sight or sound of zombies and has a lowered spacial awareness as well as accuracy. This moodle can be removed and prevented temporarily by using beta blockers or anti-depressants. Bourbon also quickly removes the panicked moodles, although it also makes the character tired as well. Sleep will boost up the rate of panic loss.

Slight Panic

"Try to stay calm"

Panic

"Accuracy reduced"

Strong Panic

"Accuracy severely reduced"

Extreme Panic

"Accuracy & vision severely reduced"

File:Moodle sick.png Sick

The character has contracted some sort of illness through consuming raw or bad food or having been bitten or scratched by a zombie. Selecting the hypochondriac trait means that your character will "feel" the effects of illnesses without actually having them, eventually returning to normal when they have gotten through the worst of it, but if they really did have an illness...

Queasy

"Take things easy"

The character is beginning to feel ill.

Nauseous

"Strength & healing reduced"

The severity of the character's illness is increasing.

Fever

"Strength & healing severely reduced, slowly dying"

The character is severely suffering from the illness, and will eventually die if they suffer from it for too long without anything maintaining their health. This is also the last stage of the zombie virus before complete, irreversible zombification. If a character has an illness for a cause other than getting bitten by a zombie- like eating rotten/burnt/raw food, the character can still die but this death can be delayed or even avoided by being well-fed and getting enough sleep.

File:Thirsty.gif Thirsty

Water is necessary for human survival. If this moodle pops up, the survivor has not been drinking enough of it. Players need to drink water from their water bottle (done automatically), one of their previously scavenged drinks (done manually), or from the tap (manually). It takes about four and a half days to die of thirst.

"Dry Mouth"

-1 carrying capacity.

"Dehydrated"

-1 carrying capacity. In danger of dying of thirst

Parched

"Feeling faint and dizzy"

Dying of Thirst

"Desperate for water"

-3 carrying capacity. Feeling pain and health is rapidly withering away. This survivor will die unless he drinks water.

File:Moodle tired.png Tired

The character has stayed awake for an extended period of time and, as a result, is becoming increasingly unaware of the environment. This moodle can be removed by sleeping. Currently, passing out is not possible in the game, and the player will simply remain "exhausted" until he or she is able to sleep (unconfirmed). Vitamins can remedy this moodle while sleeping tablets help speed it up.

The character is slightly fatigued from being awake for too long.

Tired

"Awareness reduced"

The character has become fatigued from being awake for too long.

File:Moodle unhappy.png Unhappy

If the player is too bored, he or she will become unhappy. This moodle currently has no effect. This moodle can be combated by reading certain items of literature or eating food that combats unhappiness such as pop or chocolate amongst others. Once survivors are re-implemented, talking to them can also help with unhappiness.

Feeling a little sad

"Find a way to raise your mood"

Depressed

"Ravaged by mourning and depression"

Severely Depressed

File:Moodle wet.png Wet

The character is standing in a source where they can become wet (typically rain). Prolonged exposure can increase the risk in which your character will get a cold. This moodle can be removed by going indoors out of the rain for a while, standing by a camp fire, or drying yourself off with a dish towel or Bath Towel. It is one of the few things that does not match how things work in real life, as in real life you do not get a cold from the rain/snow/cold weather.
