Peeps are the residents and workers of Settlements. They emerge from the Home Spaceship, build what they need to survive, populate, and travel to new worlds. Peeps have explicit needs like Happiness, Energy, and food and drink, and they have implicit wants like advancing technology, expanding their settlements, learning about their surroundings, and finding their home.
Peeps ferry resources around to construct and operate buildings. However, they have certain needs that must be met—otherwise they may refuse to work, or make mistakes with unfortunate consequences.
Work
All Peeps that have a home will work. They will choose a workplace near their home, at most 16 tiles away. While they may walk outside of the range of their home to fetch or deliver resources, they will not work further away than 16 tiles.
Peeps work for one shift, then they eat, drink, and relax for a break, then return to work. All the Peeps in a population work and take breaks at the same time. This means that if there are more jobs than workers, lower-priority workplaces may be neglected during a shift.
Needs
Homes
Every Peep needs to live in an Accommodation Building. Each will occupy a home slot in that building, and return to that home between work shifts to eat, drink, and relax.
Which home they live in also determines what workplaces they are able to work in. Peeps will work in any workplace within 16 tiles of their home.
Happiness
- Main article: Happiness
Every Peep expends their happiness during work shifts, and when a peep is on break they must relax to restore their happiness.
Happiness is restored by eating and drinking in their homes and then passively during the rest of the break time. If the Peep can visit a Decoration, they may recover happiness faster than if they relax in their home.
Energy
- Main article: Energy
Similar to Happiness, Peeps spend their energy during work ships, and their eating, drinking, and relaxation while on break restores some or all of their energy. More valuable food and drink resources restore more energy than simple ones.
Food & drink
Every Peep needs to eat and drink. Peeps will gather resources to their home from nearby Storage, so that it is available during their breaks. At the beginning of their break time, Peeps will return home to eat and drink from the resources in their home. Eating and drinking restores some happiness and energy, and more valuable resources restore more.
