Why does dopamine etc. feel good, and a lack of it feel bad. How does it work? how do the signals in your brain signal good or bad and why is good good and bad bad?

Because we need simple pathways to reinforce behaviors that feel good and simple pathways to reduce behaviors that are harmful to self.
What defines good or bad, however, is a circular argument on personal morality vs group morality vs ethical interpretations

I can tell you why: It feels good so that it can be a driver of genetically desirable behaviour such as eating and fucking and creating models of human behaviour and get good at throwing spears.

They feel good of bad by depolarizing sensitive pathways associated with either pain or pleasure.

If your questions is "how consciousness and emotions emerge from electric potentials moving between cells?" then noone has a fucking clue,.

You feel good for whatever you're conditioned to feel good. If you're ISIS or devout Muslims, that means beheading infidels. If you're a christian priest, it means sodomizing little boys. If you're a chad, it means having sex. Etc.

"being good" and "being bad" has nothing to do with feeling good/bad. Human mind can be conditioned to feel good/bad at any arbitrary set if the mind is conditioned to be in such.

Furthermore, "being good" is a state of ideal. "Feeling good" is a state of physical reaction.

You can provide much of the answer yourself if you go into detail what "feeling good" and "feeling bad" entails. It's not really as mystical as dualists make it out to be.
