Should wall be included in room designation
« on: December 08, 2022, 02:52:03 pm »

I have always designated bedrooms / offices etc. based on the open space within the walls, i.e. not including the inner wall tile in the designation of the room.

I am seeing in Steam DF that the 'Multi' zone maker seems to include the wall around whatever you designate as part of the room. I have a few questions.

1. Is the Steam Multi way I described normal?! Do y'all do that?

2. Does adding the wall add value to the room?

3. IIRC from years ago - overlapping rooms severely impact the room quality. Is that still true? And so, better not to include wall if it overlaps?

4. Does someone know how to see room quality in Steam DF? As in, list of all rooms and their quality. (meager, modest, etc.)

Thanks! It's good to be back.

Yes, and you're taking a penalty if you don't have walls on all sides (unless that was changed for the Steam release.) It used to be that doors didn't even count for this (so the optimal layout involved stairs,) but that might have been fixed.

I've only seen it on the owning unit's screen.

2) As above, and smoothing/engraving those walls are nice ways to increase the value of the room for Nobles and officials for example.

4) Did you look in the Room tab in the personal window (U and the magnifying glass). All the places allocated to the dwarf are listed there with their quality.
