'''Recreation''' is one of a colonist's [[needs]]. [[Prisoners]], visitors, enemy pawns, [[animals]], and [[slaves]] {{IdeologyIcon}} do not have the recreation need.

Colonists gain recreation in two ways:
 
Colonists gain recreation in two ways:

* Doing an activity, such as playing [[horseshoes pin|horseshoes]] or watching [[tube television|television]]
 
* Doing an activity, such as playing [[horseshoes pin|horseshoes]] or watching [[tube television|television]]
  
Colonists may do recreation activities when their [[Menus#Restrict|timetable]] allows. Some activities require nothing more than an allotted time while certain activities require the relevant building or item. Certain items can only be purchased from traders. Some activities have an added benefit of improving skill experience points. Colonists develop an increasing tolerance, or resistance, to a kind of activity the more it is done. Tolerances are shown in the Recreation tooltip (hover the mouse over the recreation meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup. Currently there are 9 types of recreation - solitary relaxation, social interaction, television watching, cerebral play, dexterity play, music, telescope study, chemical consumption, and food consumption.

Injured colonists will only ever engage in recreational activities that can be done in bed, such as watching television. A television is therefore a good investment for every hospital.
 
 
 
Colonists on [[caravan]] gain recreation while stopped at a rate of 10% per hour, of the Solitary type if they are alone, or a mix of Solitary and Social if two or more colonists are on the same caravan. Tolerance is gained at an equivalent rate to Extremely Low Expectations, regardless of the expectations at the colony or the amount of wealth taken on the caravan.

=== Recreation tolerance ===

Colonists develop an increasing tolerance, or resistance, to specific types of recreation the more it is performed. Tolerances are shown in the Recreation tooltip (hover the mouse over the recreation meter) and are listed by kind and percentage. A variety of kinds of activities should be made available to avoid tolerance buildup.

A tube television (TV) must be either bought from an exotic trader or researched and built. They are placed like sculptures, and require a place to sit, facing the right way (towards the TV). Unlike a chessboard, the seats must be placed between with a 1-tile gap from the TV.
  
Recreation tolerance reduces recreation gained proportionally. Recreation tolerance gained is 2/3 of the recreation value increase from the activity. For instance, A colonist consuming 4 units of chocolate at 0% gluttonous tolerance would gain 40% recreation and 26.7% gluttonous tolerance. Eating another 4 immediately would only provide 73.3% of 40% or 29.3% recreation gain and 2/3 of 29.3% or 19.6% gluttonous tolerance. Recreation tolerance only increases when an action increases recreation.
+
Televisions can also be viewed for enjoyment by people residing in medical-designated beds of all types.
  
Recreation tolerance decreases while awake at a rate dependent on the wealth of the colony, with higher wealth colonies needing more recreation variety to combat the lower rate of tolerance decrease. It has 6 stages at different wealth values.

Additionally, [[conceited noble]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} have Noble and Royal Expectations at the ranks of Baron and Count respectively. These expectations replace the effects of regular expectations.

Finally, [[Ideoligion#Roles|Ideoligious Roles]] can increase the expectations of the pawn by two levels, so a pawn that would normally have Low Expectations would then have High Expectations. To prevent these "going off the scale", at High and Sky-High, Elite and Supreme are used instead. Note that despite only being seen in-game with the [[Ideology DLC]] activated, these expectations are defined in the Core game.

Before version 0.19 Flatscreen Television could only be bought from traders, but they are now able to be crafted by [[colonist]]s with construction 8 or higher. They are placed like sculptures, and require a place to sit, facing the right way (towards the TV). Seating must be placed with a 1-tile gap from the TV.

If a campfire or table is enabled as a Gather Spot, colonists will stand in the vicinity of the campfire, or sit at a chair or stool beside a table. If beer is available, a colonist may carry a bottle while relaxing, without actually consuming the item. This action has been shown to occur among colonists with the Chemical Interest trait, the Teetotaler trait, and no trait in regards to alcohol.
 
 
A '''gather spot''' or '''gathering spot''' works like a loosely defined social "zone", allowing your pawns who are idle or seeking Social recreation to gather together in a specifically centered area. This also can keep them from getting lost when they're not doing anything productive.
 
 
 
If you have a "gather spot" enabled, colonists will gather here to socialize for recreation, especially when idle. Colonists will stand in the vicinity of the campfire, or sit at a chair or stool beside a table. If beer is available, a colonist may carry a bottle while relaxing, without actually consuming the item. This action has been shown to occur among colonists with the Chemical Interest trait, the Teetotaler trait, and no trait in regards to alcohol.
 
 
 
[[Table]]s and [[campfire]]s (only) can be designated as gather spots, and are so designated by default when constructed.  You can have more than one gather spot, in which case an idle/social pawn appears(?) to choose the closest one when the mood to gather hits them. This should be toggled '''off''' on all tables/campfires except for one in your preferred rec/dining room. Not toggling can cause people to gather and have parties at any table (or campfire), perhaps in the middle of an ugly, dirty, dangerous abandoned mining site, making everybody unhappy. Gather spots can be turned off by toggling a command while that object is selected (bottom of the screen).

=== Skygazing ===
 
=== Skygazing ===
Skygazing is the act of your colonists simply laying on the ground in an outdoor (area without a [[roof]]) area and facing upwards. It requires clear weather.  The game has a few flavor text names such as "Cloudwatching", and at night is called "Stargazing". This activity is the same length of time as most others are and the same tolerance gain rate.
