Summary

0008509: Migrants experience crippling sadness because of separation from loved ones

Description

Virtually all migrants arrive with one or more thought of "She/He feels sad at being separated from a loved one." Most migrants arrive with around 4-10 of these thoughts; any migrant with more than 1 or two will eventually become stressed, haggard, and start throwing tantrums or fall into depression, even if the dwarf otherwise only experiences positive thoughts after arriving. This makes almost every fort slowly descend into a tantrum spiral, even if there are no other stressers on the dwarves.

These thoughts never disappear or have less effect as far as I can tell. The obvious tweak would be for these thoughts to have less impact as time progresses and as the migrant adjusts to living in the fort

Steps To Reproduce

Have a fort, attract migrants, and wait for them to experience inevitable emotional breakdowns.
