Alien incursions will continue until morale improves.

To absolutely no one's surprise, meltdowns are bad. Just like in real life, a psychological meltdown can cause your survivors to completely turn on each other, engage in fights, weaken each other, and maybe even worse! It's like they forget that there are aliens knocking on the door ready to eat them alive. Thankfully, there is a way to avoid meltdown, which is to constantly keep your survivors above 20%. What follows is a brief guide to the best actions you can take to keep your survivors' happiness high and avoid in-game meltdowns.

The survivors' happiness is a fickle thing, but the only time it absolutely does not wane is when they sleep. This can work for or against you entirely depending on when you time your bonuses. That's right, just like in real life, the memory of things that make us happy fades while we sleep.

This means it might actually be best to let your survivor go to bed pretty cranky so you can set things up for when they wake up in the morning with the tired status erased to start boosting their spirits as soon as they wake up.
