It would be nice if there was a way to upgrade the quality of furniture. Currently, if you want to improve a room you have to move or dismantle any low quality furniture in the room (such as the beds or the lights) and build new ones and hope the quality improved.

Simple speaking, you'd click a upgrade button and it would cost a certain percentage of the base resource cost to upgrade it and hopefully improve the quality. So for instance if you wanted to upgrade a poor quality wood bed you might hit the upgrade button and it would cost 1/4th the original cost to have a chance to get a higher quality.

What I generally do is get a person of high skill and build ~10 beds at one moment inside the stockpile. When they are built, I deconstruct the low quality ones and keep the rest, putting them in rooms to replace the current beds. That's the upgrade phase, and doesn't take too much micro.

Same, but only 10? sometimes my level 18 builder need to build like 30 beds to get the perfect beds...took so long, i would agree to a easier way. Also it is weird that a level 18 builder can build low quality beds, i mean should that high skilled colonists not only build higher quality beds?
english is not my main language, that should explain a lot...

I don't think I ever had enough wood to build 30 beds. But yeah it's the same idea.

I don't think you can "really" upgrade a shoddy bed into a perfect bed in real life without straight starting over....I know a bed isn't complex, but still, eventually making a new one is simply more efficient.
Why to people worry about following their heart? Its lodged in your chest, you won't accidentally leave it behind.
