I've always been assigning bedrooms to individual dorfs because, well, I liked them having a bedroom. But after reading the wiki about bedrooms I'm thinking I've been doing it all wrong. It says that dorfs will claim their own room if there is a free bedroom. Can someone confirm this? So if I just make a bedroom after a while a dorf will come and claim it as it's own?

 Yes, all you need to do is define a room around a bed and a dwarf will eventually claim it. I let the little guys do it all the time.

 Really cuts down on the tedium.

Lol, all the time I spent scrolling through the 100's of dwarf to spot the one without his own room . Thanks!

 Note once the economy is in, the dwarves will only buy rooms they can afford. That is, with the exception of legendaries and royalty which you can assign to whatever room you like.

True, but I prefer to make separate bedrooms to be honest, not that it matters gameplay wise...

You must occasionally check to make sure that Urist McLegendary didn't just claim EVERY SINGLE BED in the entire fort.
Maybe exaggerating a little bit, but still. My Captain of the Guard happened to claim two bedrooms. You have to watch for that.

I make them in individual little rooms so when something jumps in to the room that I dont like I can lock them in with my stone door and fire at them from above (catwalk system)

Silly legendary resource-snatchers. I have issues with my champions claiming barrels of food. That, or just the damn barrels. A previous fort had half the trade goods snagged by nobility, and there's discarded clothing everywhere now.

sounds like a good reason to have magma infastructure, so you can assign a new room for that dwarf, then clean out the furniture and lava flood that room before he can get his stuff out.  I'm juswt now looking into doing this for my armour stockpile and barraks to clean up some civilian clothes.

[Iapetus]

Although it may be worthwhile asigning specific rooms to some dwarves.

E.g. if you have a magma forge complex some distance from the main fortress, you could build rooms for your smelters and metal workers near the forges (and give them their own dining room, food stockpile, etc), so they spend less time commuting and more time working.

Yet more evidence that every problem in DF can be solved by the proper application of magma.

Urist MacDwarf:  "Oh, well, then start the magma pumps!"

Bedroom wrong?  I don't think so.  I assign my dwarves manually.  I don't want the reds to cross with the blues!  You know how tedious it is to get the rainbow right?  Really tedious, then there's the question about whether the rock matches or if it's DAMN SOIL.  I just want to pound it pop-eye style.  Anyway, the colors need to be perfect and we all know dwarves are racist.  You got the yellow ones, red ones, blue ones, green ones (those always die), black ones, white ones.  A whole bunch to shorten it up.  If you don't put the right color dwarves together you get a whole great mess of a mess.  There would be riots and petitions and all the civil or criminal garbage the dwarves like to pull out.  They're not very happy people, somethings just arn't very adaptive for them.  Like color.  Like I said!  DON'T EVER MAKE A BEDROOM IN MICROLINE UNLESS YOU LIKE INSANE DWARVES THAT PUNCH CATS ON THE WAY TO THE WORKSHOPS.  Rip your eyes out that one.  All in all a racist place is a happy place....wait that wasn't my point.  Oi, what the hell I'm tired.

 I was going to comment on black colored dwarves, but there are none.

 Then I was going to comment on that fact, but there was no way of making that not-awkward.

 So I'm commenting on the awkwardness of it all.
