This article is about an older version of DF.

A barracks is a Template:L defined from an indoor Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L. Barracks provide places for your dwarves to Template:L and sleep.

Template:L requires enough clear floor space inside the barracks to dodge and maneuver in; 3x3 is a safe lower limit.

When a Template:L is set as a barracks, dwarves will not claim the room when they sleep. If no beds are available, they will sleep on the floor of a barracks. If that isn't available, they will fall asleep where they stand, potentially leaving dwarves in dangerous locations. Military dwarves may be ordered to sleep in a barracks, even if they have a bedroom.

If your barracks is full of damaged, bloodstained clothes, this is because sparring dwarves have ripped them off of each other while practising their Template:L. Presently, there seems to be no way to get rid of the clothing, aside from killing the owner (and his/her spouse, if any). More importantly, wrestlers will occasionally spill the content of Template:Ls. The latter can result in rotting food that can not be moved because it is owned by a dwarf (who doesn't bother to collect it). It might therefore be advisable to make barracks a room that can be locked up to avoid dwarves getting in contact with Template:L.
