How do you Celebrate colonist's birthdays?

[Quasarrgames]

I change all their priorities to 4 for the day, so they can do whatever they want. What about you?

I right click the message off and go "whiii!" and continue with whatever I was doing

This + I double check their priorities to make sure THEY'RE WORKING THEIR HANDS TO THE BONE!

If all priorities are at the same level, they will still do whatever the first available job is - so if you have something that needs cooked (and they're the appropriate level with no one else already cooking), that's most likely going to be what they do.

Basically, the AI goes down the list looking for tasks assigned with 1. If it reaches the end and no tasks are found, it will go down the list again looking for any tasks assigned with 2 - and so on and so forth. It'll always do the first available job of the highest priority number.

I check to see if they've developed any age-related diseases!

I think it would be cool if, assuming you had the right food stuffs, you could make a cake or something for the colonist, giving them a bit of a buff because "celebrated birthday". Or if on a colonists' birthday when they conversed with someone, there's a chance they receive a buff for the day "received birthday present", possibly even stackable, to the number of colonists in your colony and lasting a couple of days.

I imagine with the new "joy/fun" mechanics coming in Alpha 10, this will be a big deal.

"Today is Keuneke's birthday!"

Ive been modding too much, I read that and said to myself "what would be involved in modding a bouncy castle?".....

So (yes ive seriously given this thought) if you make a building as a pawn container (like the crpto casket) and then use the draw method to animate  the same colonist over the building. Bar the animation bit it should actually be pretty simple.

A10s killer feature better not be a bouncy castle..dont deny me of this Tynan....-_-

I try to get a feast set up, lavish meals for all. The new update will add a lot more diversity though.

[Endoric]

I set their priorities to nothing.... They stand around all day for their birthday doing nothing. ..... Sob* just like i did last year *sob.....

Heh... I usually say to myself, so you lived another year, get back to work.

[Adamiks]

Nothing . I have not even thought about the celebration in this game

[Jimyoda]

Definitely have it give a 'Joy' buff. On a colonist's birthday their base 'birthday buff' will be a minor buff or no buff. So not much will happen if they are isolated from others.  But when around others, that colonist gets a cumulative buff increase each for other colonist they chat with. This simulates others giving birthday wishes. Too bad it wouldn't make sense to have a cook stove bill  to produce a cake - no flour, no eggs, no sugar, no go. Nothing says happy birthday like a beer and boomrat bowl of 'cake', right?

My God. I can't stop laughing!
