When is it Party Time?

Are Parties random or do they occur when a colonist has X amount of good mood for X amount of days? (and what would those Xes be?)

pretty sure it is just a random positive occasion, so they will happen more often on base builder and more rarely on extreme.

It's party time 10 days after the last party.

Sorry, no idea.

Used to have that event in earlier versions, but haven't seen them in B18. Well sometimes when I my caravan is camping they have a party (using set up caravan mod), but never in the main base.

One thing I've noticed is that you seem to need at least four colonists to hold a party. My colonies usually take quite a while to get up to four colonists, and I've never had a party with 3 or fewer. I have a feeling that the game has it on some kind of timer, because I've seen plenty of parties occurring *immediately* after acquiring a fourth colonist

Good mood seems to effect occurence. I get more parties in an established base.

The parties must be great too. I had a dead colonist who had "this is about xxx attending xxx's party on..." as his final memorial on his sarcophagus.

Super random... But i think i have the psychology mod that adds the socialite trait which i think kinda slightly increases the party chance...

But i don't know the increased chance of it. Even in vanilla... Or if it's determined by the Storyteller...

PAAAARRRRTTTTTYYYYYYYYY!!

Not sure if it's random as all other events (it look like it) but I'm very sure colony has to have at least four pawns to party be available as event.
