A dining room is a room designated from a Template:L. The assigned room may be either assigned to a Template:L or designated as a dining hall. A valuable communal dining hall is an excellent way to Template:L.
It is also possible to further designate a dining hall as a Template:L, resulting in Template:L. Dwarves that are on break or jobless will meet here and become further acquainted.
Constructing a dining hall
In order to construct a dining hall, first build a table, then use the q menu to designate the table as a room.
It is recommended to place a Template:L Template:L nearby in order to lessen the time it takes dwarves to grab a bite to eat.
Happiness considerations
- While a single table is enough to create a dining room, dwarves will recieve a small unhappy Template:L from eating without a chair. To prevent this, build a chair or throne next to each table.
- Multiple dwarves may use the same table, but they will receive a small unhappy thought if this happens. A good general rule of thumb is to have enough tables and chairs to serve one fifth of a fortress' population at any given time. Because dwarves do not eat very often, this should be more than enough to avoid any unhappiness.
- The total Template:L of a dining room will affect how happy dwarves get about eating there. Because dining rooms tend to be large and have lots of potentially valuable furniture, it is fairly simple to get incredibly valuable dining rooms that easily offset the depression of a dwarf's best friend being torn apart by Template:Ls. Building furniture from valuable materials such as Template:L Template:L, Template:L, or various Template:Ls is a great help. Template:L is also an easy way to make a dining hall more valuable.
