Higher-quality room grades will produce happy [[thought]]s in [[dwarves]] utilizing these rooms. If a room contains items made from materials a [[dwarf]] favors, the room will have a higher perceived quality to that dwarf. You can also increase the grade of a room by [[smooth|smoothing]] and [[engrave|engraving]] the walls and the [[floor]]. |

+ | As you need to knock out one bit of wall for the entrance, a 3x3 room has ten floor and 11 wall tiles (the corners are inaccessible and don't count). That makes a basic value of 22. When smoothed, it will score ((10 * 4) + (11 * 5)) = 95, assuming it's all plain stone. | ||

− | + | == Saving on noble's rooms == | |
− | You can make one large room, and install every noble there. The quality reduction for overlapping rooms is sufferable compared to the savings over constructing and furnishing a large number of rooms, particularly if you can add to the room's value with artifacts. If the [[king]] shows up, you must furnish this room to four times the "Royal" quality for it to count as Royal or just build a separate room for him. | + | You can make one large room, and install every noble there.

This is a risky strategy as nobles get upset that their rooms are not '''better''' than those of lesser nobles. One solution is to designate the rooms of higher-ranked nobles as covering slightly different space, and adding high-value statues, mechanisms, or other objects within that area, not covered by the other nobles' "rooms" (as designated). | This is a risky strategy as nobles get upset that their rooms are not '''better''' than those of lesser nobles.

− | === | + | ==== Vault ==== |
− | + | This is a secure area for storing valuables. Although some are trapped, [[thieves]] do not trigger standard one-tile [[trap]]s nor [[pressure plate]]s, so this is mostly for style points, just to say you did it. Some have an entry with a [[door]] or [[bridge]] linked to a [[lever]] - this ''does'' stop thieves. However, practically speaking, it would be rare for a thief to make it to your vault without bumping into some dwarf or creature, and a watch-animal [[Restrain#Restraints|restrain]]ed in a narrow hall is all the warning you need. | |
− | === | + | ==== Hospital ==== |
− | + | This is just a few (or more) constructed, unassigned beds, if possible with a water and food source nearby. They are used for healing injured dwarves, but an injured dwarf may claim any unassigned bed, not just ones in your "hospital area". Be aware that if built underground, the injured dwarf may rest so long during recovery that by the time they heal, they will have [[cave adaptation]]. | |
