NO MORE BOREDOM [B42 Compatible]

Description
Requested mod

Makes it so player does not gain Boredom and essentially removes it.
You may view some boredom with certain actions like say eating food that gives +X boredom.
But it'll go away or not even show up.

NO MORE BOREDOM!
SOCIETY HAS PROGRESSED PAST THE NEED FOR BOREDOM!


I may likely update this mod to be able to set other moodles to max constantly like Unhappiness, Tiredness, etc but via sandbox settings, for now am lazy. And wanted to update it just for B42.

Upcoming update(s)
- Possible update to make it update the requested moodle(s) to 0 on player update instead of every few minutes.
- *Added more moodles

*Waiting to fix Sandbox configs.
New moodle update will be in a sub mod as it'll let you config boredom and the like.


This mod does not reflect my view on the game/moodle nor am I a fan of it, Infact I want Boredom to be both more manageable but also have a slight more penalty to it, but that'll be a future mod.
They still didn't change it, I believe.

well done boredom in 42 is just too much annoying thank u !

Yeah, I get both sides of it but I still very much remain in team no-boredom. As a game mechanic i just feel that it was genuinely un-fun and adds nothing distinctly *positive* to the experience overall, at least like you said as it is now with barely any real ways to manage it.

It's also a case where in reality, some people could get bored being stuck in doors all day, but some wouldn't, and not even performing actions (I.E: Construction) does not lower, pause or even raise it. Just if you're in or out of a building which I get why they do it, but even that is just easy to exploit / bypass without reading, which is one of the main reasons I just got annoyed with boredom especially late game.

But this mod is a bandaid way of disabling Boredom; would be nice to look into fire and rain stuff.

I just think it was a big missed opportunity by the devs not to tweak boredom to be something you can manage more instead of rolling your eyes because now you know you're going to gain sadness for being in base too long and now things will take longer to sort. I'm more in the line with you honestly wouldn't be bored unless you were literally doing nothing, since most of the time you're doing something, which would at least not make you as bored depending on the action.

I honestly didn't think that me asking some epic dude in a steam thread like a year and ah alf or 2 ago to make a no boredom mod (or did he just do it after I made a mention of it? I cannot remember) would spawn an argument about being bored in a zombie apocalypse lol.

Originally I just hated the mechanic as a mechanic, but obviously that came from the idea that if I'm trying to survive and I'm happy to stay alive by being indoors chilling and not bitten/injured/sick, I would just be grateful instead of 'bored'. The mechanic as a video game is just intended to push you out of your 'comfort zone' and force you to engage with the game, which I suppose would be fine if it didn't lead to plain irritating debuffs and stacked up quick as hell.

dunno what youre tripping on, but during a zombie apocalypse boredom would be non-existent unless you have serious mental problems. even being holed up in a building for weeks on end, boredom wouldnt exist for normal people, theres WAY too much to think about. this mod makes sense to me.

the sounds of rain and fire are likely a primal form of entertainment to our brains lol

Can you make boredom decrease when character is near fire place. Imho irl hearing raining sound and fireplace burning feels quite content.
