    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.

      That’s why it is important to do sociological testing on earth first. Putting groups of humans in, let’s call them vaults, to test reactions to isolation and lack of surface contact.

        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
