Why do my dwarves constantly sleep in each other's beds?
« on: April 11, 2010, 01:38:17 pm »

I've only noticed this behavior in the latest (.02) version and it constantly baffles me. I'm sure there's likely a bug notice about it on tracker but there's no way I'm going to wallow through there to find it.

Has anyone else noticed that dwarves just absolutely love to sleep in any random room they find, even if it's owned by someone else? I have a seperate bedroom for every dwarf in my fortress yet none of them ever sleep in their own rooms. I just had an immigrant peasant wander into my mayor's bedroom and go to sleep in his bed while he was tallying the stocks, then my mayor had to find a new bed of his own which generated an unhappy thought because he "slept without a proper bedroom". Augh!

Yes, it's a known bug.  You didn't expect this transition to go smoothly, did you?

So wait, do you HAVE to define specific burrows now for them to sleep in their correct beds? I rarely use burrows at all, except a single massive "underground" burrow so I can ensure my dwarves don't leap outside at the first sign of an ambush.

Funniest thing I saw in my last fort was a woman sleeping in the baron's bed while the baron was out in his dining room, sleeping on the chair. And that a different female would be sleeping in his bedroom every month... Baron's been getting around, obviously! ;D

My dwarfs like to fill the beds in the hospital, must because I put it right next to my meeting zone.
