So in my current fort, I was mining out bedrooms and I hit a couple veins of really valuable stuff. After smoothing and engraving a 2x2 room of native platinum, with just a worthless wooden bed, I end up with a royal bedroom.
A royal 2x2 bedroom. Completely absurd.
The other 11 bedrooms are all grand. Same size, same crappy beds. Only they aren't made of native platinum.

Anyway, I have a quick question. Do loose rocks on the floors of bedrooms affect the value?

pretty sure they don't.

Do loose rocks on the floors of bedrooms affect the value?

I don't think it's the loose rock, but I did create a tomb, for my Dungeon Master, recently, that had a vein of silver shot right through it. I smoothed the walls and floor and it was considered a "Grand Mausoleum", before I engraved the silver "ends", as that was more for just aesthetics ;]

The tomb is pictured to the far left and although there is no loose stone present, the silver vein is still visible and I believe added to the value of the room itself.


I didn't give it much thought, until I saw your thread, but perhaps you are on to something. I guess it's possible that the dwarves could "smooth" better than others, based on skill, similar to when they engrave, but I think your theory is more on track.

I know for a fact that constructed floors at least, add to room value.  My melee military tombs usually get refloored with 1 tile of precious metal per kill. Particularly successful ones typically end up with pretty kickass tombs.

I'm not sure if regular floors count however.  I imagine it would be easy to check just by having the economy on, renting out an unsmoothed room.  Checking the price, then smoothing the floor and checking again.  I hear it takes a sec for rent to update tough so might have to wait for a bit after.

Yep, regular floors and wall count towards a rooms value. The base value is then multiplied by the value of what they are made of so places that used to contain precious metal veins are high value. If I remember correctly the value multiplier is also applied to any engravings which is what sent the value of the op's room through the roof.
