Yeah just a quick question, once dorf population starts to get high, bedroom organisation starts to get to be a real problem for me ( as in getting all the dorfs a bedroom) so my question is, if a build a massive barracks, large enough to hold all the dorfs, and so glorious that dwarfs have been known to break down in tears at the sight of it, then would that cance out the bad thoughts from not having a proper room?

The quality of the barracks doesn't matter when it comes to a dwarf having "slept without a proper room recently". Just make sure they also "ate in a legendary dining room recently". That usually does the job.

Well ... all I've seen is lackluster moods for dwarves who don't have a chest to admire ... and I usually pamper my dwarves.

The wiki IIRC recommends building a barracks once the economy kicks in, so dwarves who are broke don't have to sleep on the ground.

So I'd recommend ... set aside an area of the fort where it's silent (not too close to workshops), designate some 50 2x2 and/or 2x3 and some 3x1 dwarf rooms. Designate it so that the miners do not have access, and repeat for 5 levels. When you get nobles,

(Unless you've changed the ini, you'll have 200 dwarves + nobles + kids, for me usually around 225-235.)

Edit: "When you get nobles, add a barracks with beds." Sorry.

Any undesignated bed should work under dwarven Economy, but I swear the little bastards prefer the barracks anyway.  Even a cheap-ass 1 tile bedroom can usually house most dwarfs (soapmakers and spouses can sleep on the floor).

Actually, spouses and children all climb into the same bed so long as one of the adults own the bed.  I once had a champion female dwarf give birth while sleeping in her bed with her three other children, and none of them woke up - not even the mother.

You might want to try communal living.

May I point that you don't need to assign a bedroom to every dwarf? They'll claim an empty one of their one (If there is a cheap enough around).

once economy starts they will

what i was asking is will a large enough barracks last them until it dies, and then i can say "here are some bedrooms, sort it out yourselves"

anyway thanks for the answers, a legendary dining room and a large barracks sounds doable.
