Baseline & Goal
Set your current state and the target intensity you want to hit.
Use 50 for neutral. Lower skews detached, higher skews intense.
Hard cap at 100. Red flags when below 30.
Negative slows you down; 120+ is extreme stimulation.
Aim for 40–60 when unsure.

Planning Notes
Guidance pulled from the mood system data.
Monitor Your State
Pay attention to visual indicators on the HUD showing your current emotional position
Plan Ahead
Before important interactions, adjust your state to the optimal range for that activity
Avoid Extremes
Both ends of the spectrum have severe penalties - aim for moderate ranges
Use Environment
Strategically use locations and activities to shift your emotional state
Balance is Key
The middle range (40-60) is safe for most situations if unsure
Time Matters
Rest naturally restores balance - use sleep strategically when too extreme
