− | + | The image depicted in the engraving also has a subjective value based on a dwarf's [[preferences]], which is particularly important if a picky [[noble]] is going to own that room. If the dwarf likes whatever the picture is depicting, they might decide that an engraving normally worth 100☼ is worth, say, 150☼ to them (and consider the room to be more valuable than another dwarf would). If the dwarf dislikes what's in the image, though, they might decide that it's worth only 10☼ and subsequently complain that their room is substandard (if they happen to be a noble).{{verify|copied from the old version... but I realize I don't know if this is actually the case, and the old values were all examples of what could be, not what has been shown.}} | |
So, after all this taken into account, then for example, if you placed a single gold block floor in a room, that floor tile would increase the value of that room by (7) × (30) = 210☼. If that floor tile was then engraved with a Masterwork, it would be worth an additional (10) × (30) × (12) = 3600☼, for a grand total of 3810☼. Since the material value of the floor is used in both calculations, using high-value materials on floor tiles you plan to engrave can make the value of the rooms they're in skyrocket! However, if a floor tile exists in more than one designated room, a strict value penalty multiplier is applied to all overlapping rooms, possibly as high as -99%. Sharing a door that does not have two adjacent wall tiles (i.e. the rooms have double-doors rather than single doors) will also share the floor tile underneath the door. However, having only a single door between two walls will not cause an overlap penalty, which allows internal offices and bedrooms inside of houses to function. You can remove this penalty simply by un-designating any floor tiles that overlap in more than one room's designation. Not all room designations cause this penalty, however. You'll know the penalty has triggered when you see the room's name turn red and gain "Overlapping." | So, after all this taken into account, then for example, if you placed a single gold block floor in a room, that floor tile would increase the value of that room by (7) × (30) = 210☼.
