In order to increase the  well-being of a  beaver you should increase its different needs. The overall  well-being score is the sum of the scores from the needs.

 Bots have different needs than  beavers.

Beavers

Categories

Needs are divided into categories. Each can be satisfied differently.

Basic Needs

Satisfaction Effects

Certain needs can go negative if not satisfied enough, shown as a red bar instead of green on the UI, and a related Status might show up above the beaver's model. They might also have an additional negative effect on beavers affected.

Bots

 Bots have just two needs. Instead of  Well-Being, bots increase their Condition by sastisfying their needs.

Categories

Basic Needs

If the Basic Need of  bot is not met, it will be slowed considerably. Each faction has different Basic Need:

Folktails

 Timberbots need to consume  Biofuel to satisfy their Fuel need

Iron Teeth

 Ironbots need to visit  Charging Stations to satisfy their Energy need

Boosts

Boosts can boost the performance and speed of  bots. Each faction has different Boosts Need:

Folktails

 Timberbots need to consume  Catalyst to satisfy their Catalyst need

Iron Teeth

 Ironbots need to be in the range of a  Control Tower to satisfy their Control Tower need

Satisfaction Effects

When a need is satisfied, it contributes to the total condition, positively or negatively. The contribution column on the table below shows how much it impacts this score.

Certain needs can go negative if not satisfied enough, shown as a red bar instead of green on the UI, and a related Status might show up above the bot's model. They might also have an additional negative effect on bots affected.
