bedroom management
« on: May 23, 2012, 02:18:02 am »

Hi,

is it possible, of has it been suggested on the suggestion thread that bedrooms should be able to designate themselves?
I like to have a bedroom for every dwarf, but the designation is too time-consuming for that.

Greetings,

I think they already attribute themselves bedrooms. At least that's what's happening in my fort :)

Dwarves will automagically claim an unoccupied bedroom when they get sleepy.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

You only need to assign bedrooms to specifics dwarf requests like the noble demanding a certain grade of room

My mind is blown by the existence of a word like automagical, it is now my favorite thing.

point of attention, I do not mean the assignment to individual dwarfs. I mean the designation as a bedroom based on a bed.

No, you have to designate them individually as bedrooms. However, any repetitious task can be made simpler with the use of macros. These allow you to record and play back a series of keystrokes quickly and efficiently. This will only work in your case if the bedrooms are evenly spaced.

ok, so I'm out of luck then. I do use a macro to designate my bedrooms, but appearalntly, I'll have to create one for beds, bedrooms, chests and cabinets.

Many thanks..

w00t?

I use 3 macros for bedrooms,

first:
to (d)esignate (d)ig's to a block of 4 3x3 with passageways
second, when its dug out:
to (b)uild furniture placement (1 bed in the middle, 1 chest, and 1 cabine [i used to also place 1 armor stand and 1 weapon rack, but learned they dont use em])
third, when the beds are placed:
to (q)uery the beds and set them as rooms

when recording the macros im careful to make them start and stop in such a way that its possible to use each repetedly to quickly place a row(or patern) of designations


thats all, the dwarves pick their rooms themselves, and the rooms need only their bed assigned

yeah, but I don't usually have everything handy when designating. I have the beds, but not enough chests or cabinets.. and don't forget the doors

You only need to designate the room as a bedroom once when the bed is in, anything else placed  in that room at a later date (a chest etc) will automatically become part of the room and owned by the bedroom occupant - at least in my experience.

That is correct in my experience as well.

I use the quickfort utility which makes it easy if your bedrooms follow a pattern.

I thought 'complained about the draft lately' meant they didn't have a door to their room.

I know that items placed in a bedroom become part of that bedroom and the owning dwarf. but you have to place them first...
