More Joy Sources?

[Draegon]

I was thinking that the joy sources are kind of limited for what colonists can build so I have a few ideas for possible ones that could possibly be added.
Books and bookshelves - could be made with wood and leather and maybe some sort of plant matter for paper.
Swimming - Colonists can swim in shallow water for joy and cooling off.
Video game systems - could be attached to a television. Bought from traders.
Give joy from crafting based on colonist personality.
Interaction between colonists and or visitors of playing cards.
General research option - Gives joy, maybe unlocks upgrades for stuff?

a guitar or other musical instruments. (maybe even singing)

it gives joy to both the performer and the audience in the same room. (depending on art skill of performer)

I would very much like to see the Social skill being tied to some kind of group joy activities in the spirit of parties, but less time-consuming and with a smaller mood impact. Playing instruments, performing, theater etc.

Theater rooms would be pretty cool You could build a stage and have seats. It could work similar to the megascreen tv.

I was thinking earlier about Mud Baths and Hot springs as natural means of joy/relaxation on the tundra and Jungle biome maps where heat and cold are a real issue early on.

Anywhere there's a geyser you could build a bath/spa what have you. A quick remake of the casket or battery case as a bath and you can have all manner of new Cialis commercials...

Use the craft spot for whittling or basic crafting of dolls or trinkets. Small joy and a few coins instead of a dedicated art bench.

Horse Shoes should have two pegs... Two steel pegs...

Bocci Ball, and maybe makeshift Base Ball and/or Soccer as you develop and have room.

A Poker Table. Guests can come play, lose their cash.
Feel cheated...
Start a fight...
Maybe try and shoot a colonist and get arrested.
Have a choice to release him for a modest gain with the faction or extort a hefty "fine" and maybe they don't like you so much now.
Mix and match with an old timey wheel, craps or other "game".

YES HAHAH

I guess I like anything that takes a cue from DF......


Designate an area as a museum, displaying fabulous works of art that people come from all over the rimworld to appreciate

Designate an area as a music hall, have your best artists perform for the colony
