40d Talk:Room

"Walls with ore or gems cannot be smoothed, much less detailed." Is this still true? I'd heard that smoothing/engraving of ore veins is now possible. And yet again, I can't test because I'm reading the wiki at work while waiting for a database query to finish... >_> --Alfador 17:28, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

I deleted the comment about not being able to smooth ore or gems, because you CAN in this version (they all count as different types of rocks). Boo whoever copy pasted the article without looking at it.

what was the point in aechiving old wiki if people are going to copy and paste, please people if you are going to copy paste thourghly read the article to ensure all info is correct, i didnt read past this so there may be more but rooms are no longer diamonds, this is somehing really obvious and should have been picked up on by whoever copy pasted it otherwise we may as well stick with edditing old wiki.

Is there a way to check what price a room currently has without counting it yourself? Just wanted to know if I counted right. --Mizipzor 15:33, 4 November 2007 (EST)

if the economy has started you might be able to, past that though probably not :( --Frostedfire 18:17, 8 November 2007 (EST)

My dwarves' thoughts have lately included reference to dining in a "legendary" dining room, but the best one I currently have is listed as "Fine" when I assign it to someone. Does this correspond directly to the value of the room (I intend to bring it up to Royal to find out) or is there something else at work there? Dolohov 10:55, 15 November 2007 (EST)

I have a proper closed bedroom in silty clay loam. There is a masterpiece bed in that room. The price of the bed is 120. The rental cost of the room is 99. Most (all?) other bedrooms also have their rental cost less then the sum of the furniture values. There could be 2 explanations: 1) rental cost is not exactly equal to the room value in this version. 2) the way room value is calculated is substantially different from the previous version. --Another 11:56, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Influences on room quality

As a bonus, a single chest, cabinet, armor stand, and weapon rack will count as three of each, for every noble in the room. (This works because most nobles have three rooms; if they see a chest in their bedroom, study, and dining room, they obviously have three chests, right? Nobody accused the nobles of being particularly bright.)

000173 ▪ (0.22.120.23a) [dwarf mode][nobles] if you have a noble claim the same item with three of their rooms, it'll count three times in their holdings number

Am I reading the changelog right? It looks like this bug was fixed in 23a. --Jackard 02:31, 26 November 2007 (EST)

In that same section, it states that the value of a shared room is quartered. I've seen several times on the forum that the value of a shared room is only halved. This should be checked as well. --Skanky 03:14, 28 January 2008 (EST)

I've only seen it as half, but I typically assign the two rooms to the same noble. It could be that it's quatered if you assign the two rooms to two different nobles (and same for more rooms to one noble vs more than one).--Draco18s 17:42, 3 March 2008 (EST)

Names

MANY of the names in the thing are wrong. My epic dining room is described as "Legendary" and the beds that share the room get "Like a personal palace"--Shadow archmagi 17:48, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Are you going by the room list or by dwarf thoughts? The article refers to the actual room grade rather than how impressed dwarves are by the room. VengefulDonut 19:42, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Oh dear. My mistake. Letsee... you're right. Bedrooms are Grand and the dining room is Royal. My mistake. --Shadow archmagi 20:03, 28 February 2008 (EST)

doors

It seems doors don't count anymore in 38c? Every room i checked where the door should move it to the next quality level, it doesn't. This also is true for my artifact door which before turned a room into royal; it's gone now. --Koltom 08:10, 17 March 2008 (EDT)

What if the door is set as internal? -- Zardus 20:14, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

Then it is counted, but such can make room overlapping difficult. Does anyone know why it was removed? I am saddened by my Artifact door not working right. --Stalinbulldog 21:57, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

engravings

How do you tell which side of the wall engravings are on? Do they still have a direction? QMarx 01:36, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

I think they're on both sides of the wall. At least, if i have two 5x3 rooms that share a wall, and I engrave all the walls for the two rooms, both rooms are of the same quality. I'd have to do some specific testing to see if one is worth more but not enough for a difference in quality level... --Squirrelloid 01:43, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
