Room
Enclosed spaces that provide specialized functionality and environmental control
Build
To create a room, you must build a completely enclosed space using walls. Doors count as part of the wall and are required for access.
Construction Requirements
- Complete wall enclosure
- At least one door for access
- Standard walls only (natural rock and fortified walls cannot be used)
Size Requirements
Rooms are categorized by their internal area:
- Small room: Minimal space for basic functionality (1-14)
- Basic room: Standard size for most purposes (15-128)
- Large room: Expanded capacity for multiple functions (129-225)
Environmental Systems
Temperature
A room's ability to maintain temperature depends on:
- Room size: Larger rooms require more energy to heat or cool
- Wall insulation: Better insulation reduces energy demand
- Temperature sources: Heaters, coolers, and other climate control
Insulation values are displayed in hover tooltips in parentheses next to temperature.
Luxury
Room comfort is determined by:
- Flooring quality: Material and craftsmanship
- Furniture placement: Type and arrangement of items
- Overall aesthetics: Combined visual appeal
Luxury values are displayed in hover tooltips in the room section.

Room Strategy
Multi-Purpose Planning
- Consider furniture restrictions when designing layouts
- Plan room sizes based on intended function
- Account for future expansion needs
Efficiency Optimization
- Place related rooms near each other
- Maintain appropriate temperature zones
- Balance luxury with functionality
Room Specialization
Room types are automatically determined by furniture placement. Plan your furniture carefully to achieve the desired room type and avoid conflicting items.
Size Limitations
Larger rooms require significantly more resources to heat and cool. Consider multiple smaller specialized rooms instead of one large multi-purpose space.
