Hello all!

I did a couple Google searches regarding this but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

My question is, during Work, my Pawns work. During Anything, they do anything (work, eat, sleep, recreate).
Now, during Recreation, what do they do? Do they also eat during Recreation, or is that only an activity that is done during Anything hours?
Or simpler put: Work is strictly work, and Recreation is anything else (including eating, sleeping, having fun)?

You know some food give recreation too, so when they eat chocolate during that time it is recreation.
And when their recreation level is full, they are doing nothing or something else (not sure).

Regime only affects recreation and sleep behavior.  Pawns will eat whenever they are hungry.  They will not sleep if set to "work", and they will go to sleep as soon as they are a little tired if set to "sleep".  For Anything and Recreation they will go to bed just before they reach the rightmost "tired" line.

On recreation, pawns set to "work" will not engage in recreation.  Pawns set to "recreation" will engage in joy activity until they max (+10) their recreation bar, then work, then return to recreation as soon as they drop to +5.  (or do they wait to +0?  Not sure).

Pawns set to "anything" will wait until they hit the -10 penalty bar before engaging in recreation, then engage in recreation until they're back up to +0.  Pawns set to "sleep" will do the same unless they're tired in which case they'll go to bed instead.

If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.
