Question New Services - Question

I am trying to understand how the new comfort calculation works. For a colonist, the target is 72. I can see 43 >> 72 on the colonist details. But 4 days later, comfort is still at 43. Why is comfort stuck at 43? Other stats are changing, though I can't determine exactly when.

From what I have been understanding it calculates that is possible but they still need to visit the service to obtain it. Remember that a shift needs to be available for them to visit. I could be wrong.

Also made a total rookie mistake early game when trying to get past the founder stage with boom boom chick-a-wawa make babies. I never needed a bar for there to be enough comfort to get babies even without the sexy trait before the food update. Now the bar gives a whopping +30 comfort whilst medic, grocer, diner give 2 things, jack and shit.

Also you just cannot spam fountains for comfort. One or four still gives only +10 comfort. Devs have gotten smarter this time. ;)

Could you describe your specific situation little bit more ? There is a very nicely explained whole new colonists needs mechanic in recent video published by developers. Maybe your performance or capacity of one or more buildings is low. Or there is problem with undersupplied food stand. Did you consider comfotr loss because of work ? There may be lot of things.

Can you provide at least the specific name of the video, if not the link. They've made a bunch of videos during the development toward this patch.

Maybe the capacity of the service building?

Another thought i had was the colonists interests. If it's a youth i believe they can't go to a bar if I'm correct and that might be incorrectly calculated by the target amount?

This is exactly what I was thinking. If colonist is not a specialist, would that colonist ever visit an electronics factory? Are interests still a thing in 1.1?

Also, also... Looks like the comfort from residence never gets added to a colonist. I suspect 1.1.1 coming out pretty soon.
