Assigning dwarves bedrooms once economy starts
« on: August 30, 2006, 10:47:00 pm »

Is there anyway to assign dwarves beds once the economy mode kicks in? Since there's no burrows yet it really sucks having my miners continually taking beds very far away from where mining is done.

There's no way, not unless the worker in question is legendary at something...

But there is a sort of trick you can try.  Wait until the worker is working where you want them to work, then un-define their room.  They'll rent a new one; assuming that they aren't drawn away from their workplace by anything else first, that new room should hopefully be the nearest free one, which will be near their workplace.

Anyway, it's worth trying...  hey, do dwarves dislike having their room undefined out from under them?

Well, it does sort of make sense that dwarves will chose rooms for their own reasons, but it would be nice to be able to at least give them an incentive to choose to rent rooms where you want them. For example, maybe you could be able to designate a room as 50% off list price for miners?

Actually, how about making the craft-union-house nobles more useful by allowing them to set up special deals for their members? That way, you can't just say "these rooms are free for miners and unaffordable by anyone else" and get around the economy. Instead, you have the craft-union-house nobles be able to petition for a certain monetary value's worth of rooms to be able to be reserved by the player for their constituants? That would make them have a purpose for the player, they would actually be HELPING their constituants, and they would probably as a result of all this be the victims of "accidental" drowning much less often...

"Study" and "office" are the same thing.
