v0.31 Talk:Dormitory

I think it is supposed to be a bedroom for those poor fellows not owning a proper room and barracks are not used for this anymore. But I had trouble finding out if my assumption is correct, due to the current "any bed is a good bed, don't care about property" bug Matakuka 22:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

My dorfs slept in one when they didn't have their own bed, which I took as verification. What is this bug you speak of? That could make it impossible to verify. --Eagle0600 01:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I had no dormitory, but rooms for nearly everyone. But instead of everyone going into his own room, chaos broke out. Maybe a dormitory would change it, I'll be testing it soon.Matakuka 21:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

AV template

Since dormitories are new, I'm removing the av template. 207.114.92.10 23:03, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

"This template is to be used on all pages that are game version specific." If you're not sure, read the template documentation. If anything, you should use it precisely because it is new. The general rule for pages that should have the av template is: "Does it relate to the game? If yes, apply av." --Eagle0600 01:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hmm. My bad. 207.114.92.10 02:45, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

D Key

It's lower-case d, right? --Eagle0600 01:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed, verify removed. Krenn 01:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Dwarf preferences

It would seem that the dwarves don't take barracks vs dormitory as a hard rule. I had only a barracks and civilian dwarves used it, but when I created a dormitory they started using that preferentially. I would presume that military dwarves would operate in the reverse - prefer barracks but use dormitory if no barracks space available. --Krenn 01:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Furthermore, the barracks has military-specific options that the dorm just plain doesn't. Squads get their barracks assigned to them, so they really can't use a dorm. --Eagle0600 06:54, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
