How to improve mood in The Alters

How do you improve mood in The Alters? You would be forgiven for thinking that your alters are created merely to perform a function - that's how it seems on the face of things. You'll soon, however, discover that these creations are people, with thoughts and feelings and motives, and you need to find a way to balance their mood, lest you face the wrath of an alters revolt.

Many of the things you can do to improve mood in The Alters require additional sections of your base, so make sure you know how to upgrade your base before trying to tackle that bad mood that's been plaguing your group. Some of these also require specific alters, so make sure you're up to speed on how to create new alters before you continue.

You'll find very occasionally that your alters are in a bad mood. It could be due to many things: a lack of food, impending death, or even overworking. Talking to your alters can also result in a negative reaction if you say the wrong thing, which, while sometimes unavoidable, can be averted by studying their life stories and figuring out what makes them tick.

If your alters' mood drops too low, you could be at risk of a revolt. You're usually given several days with which to improve this mood. Here's what you can do:

• Build a social room
• Play beer pong
• Watch a movie
• Build personal cabins
• Give your alters mementos found across the planet
• Unruly alters can be sent to the contemplation room

Each time you watch a new movie, you're instantly given a big boost in joy. This, coupled with personal cabins, was enough to see us through even the most turbulent of mood swings.

Now that you know how to improve mood in The Alters, you won't have to worry about anyone stepping out of line. If you find that the outside world is the thing that's giving you the most trouble, our guide on how to defeat anomalies should see you right.
