      Mood debuff from the game Rimworld where if you spend too long without going outside, you get a severe penalty.

      In other words, being underground for long (or indefinite) periods would probably have a profoundly negative effect on people’s moods.

          Yes, yes and then we do experiments on them without their knowledge to gauge how they react as opposed to control vaults. We should also name this department something fitting. Since they’re working on new technologies with vaults maybe something like… Vault-tec
