A constructed bed is the base object used to designate [[bedroom]]s. Once a bedroom is setup, it may be designated as a [[barracks]] or a [[dormitory]]. Manufacturing a bed requires one piece of [[wood]]. To construct a bed, hover near a Carpenter's workshop, then {{k|q}}uery, {{k|a}}ssign new task, build {{k|b}}ed. |
| − | Unlike many other pieces of furniture, | + | Dwarves gain unhappy [[thoughts]] from sleeping without a bed and happy thoughts from having their own, high quality bedrooms, so building beds is often a necessity for a happy fortress. |
| + | |||
| + | Unlike many other pieces of furniture, beds can only be created from [[wood]]. If your fortress has no surface [[tree]]s, you will have to bring wood with you, or rely on [[subterranean]] trees or [[trading|trade]] to get wood for beds. | ||
A beginning fortress might only need 4-5 beds for their initial 7 dwarves, although as time passes and their sleeping rhythms get more out of sync, that number drops. Although a fortress of 100 dwarves might only need a dozen or so beds to accommodate all sleepers at any one time, by the time a fortress reaches that size, some private [[bedroom]]s will, most likely, be a good idea, and bedrooms can ''only'' be defined from a bed. | A beginning fortress might only need 4-5 beds for their initial 7 dwarves, although as time passes and their sleeping rhythms get more out of sync, that number drops.

| − | To | + | To assign a dwarf their own bed, you must first define a bedroom from the bed by {{k|q}}uerying the bed, making it a {{k|r}}oom, and using +/- to adjust the size of the resulting [[room]]. If, after defining a bedroom, you leave the bed unassigned, the next dwarf to sleep in the bed will claim the bed if not already assigned a bed elsewhere. |

| − | You can (re-)assign or free (unassign) a bed even if a dwarf is sleeping in it at the time. The change in assignment will take effect when they wake up. Each bed can only be assigned to one dwarf at a time, however, it is possible for one dwarf to be assigned to multiple beds. If, after you assign a dwarf their bed, you see two dwarves listed, don't panic - it's okay, they're [[marriage|married]], and will share that bed.
