Housing Screen?
« on: March 30, 2017, 12:34:53 pm »

I know UI is lowest priority, but it would be nice if there was a way to quickly determine how many dwarfs own bedrooms, etc.  The existing room screen can tell you how many existing rooms are owned, but if there are still dwarfs running around homeless, you won't know this without meticulous counting.  I'm thinking just a quick glance-at screen, like maybe:

Urist McRich: 1 Great Bedroom
UristMcAverage: 1 modest bedroom
Urist McHusband: 1 modest bedroom (shared with Urist McWife)
Urist McPoor: No Room
Dwarfs: 75
Bedrooms: 30
Dining rooms: 2

It should be fairly doable, do you think?  I'd also be nice to see at a glance which dwarfs are married and to whom.

I just make excess bedrooms, then hit "assign bedroom" when I'm making it a free bedroom for the next taker. You can then scroll through the dwarves on the list, using + and -. The ones who have bedroom are listed in brown, those without one are listed in green. You don't have to assign any (you might be trying to id a vampire), but you could count how many green there are, then make that many more bedrooms.

Oh, I will look back nostalgically to the days you have to note down each immigrant manually on a notebook.   ;)

You don't know how true that is!
