Hello ThunderClaw,

You're the one who created the decentralized bedroom plan and workshop plan, right?

I had a question. How many floors of each one do you typically need? Also, do you alternate workshop floors and bedroom floors, cluster floors of the same type together, or what?

Alternating workshop floors and bedroom floors would be a bad idea, due to Noise --Ungood 12:33, 3 November 2008 (EST)

For a full-sized fortress, you will need 8 floors of the decentralized bedroom plan if you want each dwarf to have quarters. It holds 26 per floor, not including the barrack on each floor. Note that you need to be careful what you smooth/engrave if you want to maintain some affordable housing. Also note that if you want to go the full 8 levels (which I recommend), you can omit the barrack on each floor and convert it into a zoo, sculpture garden, or a handy stockpile. Or, you can expand the middle line to 5 hexes wide and put a few shops (i'm pretty sure these do not produce noise) on each floor. The design is pretty flexible.
The workshops should be placed as far away from the bedrooms as is reasonable. Workshops make noise, which can totally ruin the happy thoughts from sleeping in a good room (+10-20 for a good room, -10-20 for being disturbed to awoken due to noise). I put them on opposite sides of the fortress, usually. Be sure to connect the quarters with wide halls (3-wide minimum) because there will almost definitely be lots of traffic in between them. You can use the space in the middle for your dining hall or some offices for the nobles that actually meet with people (the mayor, the baron, etc), to shorten their walks to their meetings. --ThunderClaw 13:31, 3 November 2008 (EST)
