Taverns vs Dining Rooms
« on: December 13, 2015, 06:05:42 pm »

With the addition (or upgrade) of taverns (from dining halls), where does that leave the individual dining room? If a dwarf is assigned a personal dining room, will they eat there, or will they still congregate in the tavern and inevitably be dragged (or incite) a fistfight that ends with half the fortress in line at the medical ward?

Dwarves still prefer to eat in their personally assigned dining rooms whenever possible.  If a dwarf has no assigned dining room, he'll eat in the nearest public dining room, which unfortunately includes libraries with table+chair combos in them, even if you didn't create a dining room inside the library.

Good info.


Make sure you're making taverns from meeting zones, apparently bartenders do not serve drinks to table designated halls.

Ah, both of my taverns are based off of dining rooms (designated from a table).  I was wondering why my tavern keepers never seemed to do anything.  Thanks!
