Taverns and churches and libraries are so amazing, I thought we should discuss them!

My vision for my Tavern is something like a medieval hall of some sort, something like this??

Same kind of layout but with a long section of tables, on one side and the other side for performances, I'm working on the second story now.
I'm going to make one side with no balcony and that side will have a huge wall of masterwork engraves!

I love to see them singing and dancing!!!

I wanna have a huge circular library that spans several Z-levels, something like this?

So excited for scholars to show up and research!

I could use some ideas for a church, since I can't think of a beautiful underground church being a thing.

Oh man, I am super pumped. Can't wait to found a settlement centered around a thriving system of trade, bars, and inns. I hope we get some good bar fights, though that could lead to a tantrum spiral quickly

Also I love the idea of a big circular library, but getting that many books is gonna take some time, unless you can have every Urist McHauler write a book. Also this gives us new ways to offend the elves, "Hey man, check this out, A book, Made from paper and bound with oak, engraved on the the front is a crying tree in oak."

xD I don't think brawls lead to tantrum spirals, since emotions are so fleshed out.

I think it's a safe assumption that this is the first release where our dwarfs are truly alive. They sing, dance, share thoughts and learn, etc.
It's incredible.

Anyway, I think I will get lots of random people to write books.

How do taverns work anyway? Do you have to designate the whole area (rooms plus social area) as a tavern? I want to build one but so many questions!

And so little graphics packs cry

[TheCheeseMaker]

Just take a dining hall and make it a tavern using 'l' and pick add new location.  Once you do that, any other locations can be assigned to the tavern (like bedrooms, for instance, to create an inn) by using the same function, only this time choose your already existing tavern instead of creating a new one.  The new rooms don't even have to be on the same floor.

PTW. I so can't wait to try this out, but won't be able to make time until the weekend.

[FortunaDraken]

This is so cool. I have a dining hall turned tavern with four bedrooms behind it being assigned as we speak. I currently have a dancer, a human crossbowman, a human lasher, and the goblin outpost liason (hi all my civ's major people are goblins) hanging out telling stories and dancing.

Just got a migrant wave with a peasant, he's so going to become a performer once I complete this instrument I'm working on~~

Pardon the double post, but a question for you peeps. Has anyone managed to hire rooms out? Are coins finally a thing again for that, or is there something else I'm missing?

There isn't much room for dancing but most of my 30 or so dwarves prefer to sit and hear a good story. The back room stores brew and glassware. No one has moved in yet - perhaps they were spooked by the raging werebuffalo that murdered five, including then-tavernkeeper Ushrir. I assure any potential visitors, that was a freak occurrence! Ignore the bloodied staircase and consider a permanent stay!

People are using libraries as the old meeting zones, and unless they are set as scholars, they remain there doing nothing (NO JOB) and seem to prefer it over the tavern.
I opened a ticket reporting this issue.

Hi, so my save crashed, and therefore I lost a bit of progress on my tavern, but here's what I still had before.

The Vault of Festivals

ZLEVEL 1
First floor, eight rooms, a kitchen with storage for the mugs, and what was a theatre but is now a booth again.


ZLEVEL 2
Second floor, a noble area with balconies to sit on and a beautiful wall to admire.

[Klitri]

Sorry for the double post, just thought I'd elaborate on some things.

Rooms are assigned like a normal bedroom, there's a new button to make them guest bedrooms, therefore not needing to be a zone.

You can also assign dining rooms to taverns, which is how my upstairs area works.

I had a visiting animal-man warrior, who was only there for a short term (Didn't rent a room) and took part in activities in the tavern.

I'm going to redo my 2 lost seasons of work and report back of some new designed areas.

Sounds a lot like my college life.
