My dwarves aren't claiming rooms since I built a dormitory. Is anyone else experiencing this? It seems like a bug.

[darkrider2]

dwarves cannot claim dorms, rooms are for individuals, dorms are shared.

I think you misunderstood: I have a bunch of rooms that are unclaimed and yet dwarves are still opting to sleep in the dormitory (which generates a 'slept without a proper room' thought). They should be claiming those available rooms instead of just going into the dormitory.

[darkrider2]

oh lol sorry. Yeah I had this same exact problem. Right now dwarves will simply sleep in the closest room regardless of what it is. a !!bed!! two tiles away is the better option to them then a free legendary bedroom on the other side of the fort.

Also will invade hospitals.  Known bug, I think it's fixed in next version.

I am pretty sure that unless the economy is active and in effect you have to manually assign the rooms to each individual dwarf...  Please someone correct me if I am wrong here?

It's not that; even if you don't manually assign the bedrooms to individual dwarves, they will do it themselves by "claiming" a free bedroom as theirs (permanently) the next time they want to sleep.  The problem (bug) is that even though they've claimed a bedroom, they won't ever go sleep in it.  They just grab the nearest bed they can find when they get tired no matter who owns it.

This is particularly a problem when your Baron doesn't sleep in his Legendary Bedroom and instead decided to sleep in your mud barracks just because he happened to get tired while he was walking past it.  Then he gets a bad thought about how he *had* to sleep in a terrible bedroom.

I haven't seen Toady mention it for the next version (has anyone else?) but I'm sure it's on his list of things to deal with at some point soon.

Yeah, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. For me, it's still a problem that they don't claim bedrooms, either :/

Just build one or more huge legendary bedrooms with enough beds for everyone. No beds anywhere else. No hospital either.
Designate the bedroom(s) off the center bed only, and assign it to your highest noble(s). You can still give everyone their own room just so they have a chest/cabinet/etc, but make sure the rooms are always considered farther away than the super room(s).

This causes everyone to be thrilled about sleeping in a legendary bedroom, as well as saving you a lot of work in the long run. Combine it with a legendary dining hall and you won't need fancy stuff like mist generators except maybe in the prison.

That's an interesting idea. Might be fun to try.

However, I have to say that my dwarves definitely do go to their rooms to sleep. They don't just go to the nearest bed.

[Epacsten]

They usually end up sleeping in their own room if they went there for another reason, such as idling or collecting clothing. I'm not 100% sure because I've apparently had dwarves chose someone else's bed when their own was closer.

I'm not sure about it either but I'm going to look a bit... they all idle in a hall I created, so I don't think they'd be in their rooms for that. Some of them might be bringing in items...

Do u assign their rooms urself? if so then thats not the problem. Dwarfs are supposed to "claim" a room, essentially auto assigning themselves. They no longer do this, or never have (havent been here that long)

[ghosteh]

sometimes my dwarves sleep in other people's rooms, doesn't seem to affect either dwarf, though
