need some help plz
« on: July 16, 2007, 06:27:00 am »

ya well on DF (its most likely just newb problems :confused :) but i cant seem to make a room for my life. The guide tells me to make a room by using a bed, statue, etc. so i make one but then when i try to place it anywhere it always ends up being a red X. And then of course i cant find "room" or anything that ressembles it in the building list. But as i said its probably just a newb thing that somebody just needs to tell me :P

When you've put down a bed, select it with Q, hit R to make it a room, +/- to adjust its size and Enter to confirm.

Build the bed first, use 'b'. Then select it with 'q' once some dwarf has placed it.

The red X is telling you that you can't place the bed there.  Beds (and many other objects) can only be placed inside, so you have to dig into the mountain and make some bedrooms.
