| + | There are many ways to design the layout of {{L|bedroom}}s. Simplicity, ease of designating, efficiency, and aesthetics are all important factors in designing dwarven housing. The ability to modify the design to enlarge, improve, or add rooms can be important as well. Proximity of the rooms to {{L|noise}} should also be considered. | ||
| − | + | The simplest approach resolving dwarven sleeping requirements is to have all your dwarves sleep in a large communal {{L|barracks}}. The smallest ''bedroom design'' possible is a corridor with with notched spaces for beds. | |
| − | + | Players frequently want designs which maximize positive thought and minimize the path distance between a dwarf's food, drink, job and home. This process is further complicated when the {{L|dwarven economy}} kicks in, and a wide range of "{{L|Room#Specific_room_quality_grades|room qualities}}" are needed, and low-budget dwarves are kicked out of any over-priced quarters. To this end, a number of solutions, some surprisingly elegant, have been produced. | |

Stick a bunch of beds and a single {{L|weapon rack}} in a room, designate a {{L|barracks}} from the rack (do not assign the rack to anyone), and, voila, instant flophouse. On maps with no {{L|tree}}s, this is pretty much your only option for sleeping quarters. (Dwarves will sleep on the floor of the barracks if no beds are available, which at least keeps them from sleeping in the wilderness.) |

However, as long as you compensate by offering your dwarves high-quality {{L|food}}, {{L|alcohol}}, an expansive {{L|dining room}}, and other luxuries, your dwarves will remain happy enough to be productive throughout the life of a fortress. (You may still wish to give {{L|noble}}s their own rooms, however; they tend to get upset when their {{L|Noble#Room_Requirements_Summary|requirements}} are not met.) |
More than one barracks can be built in a fortress; if they do not own their own bedroom, dwarves will gravitate to the nearest empty bed when it is time for them to sleep.{{verify}} | More than one barracks can be built in a fortress; if they do not own their own bedroom, dwarves will gravitate to the nearest empty bed when it is time for them to sleep.{{verify}} | ||
