clearance/cramped changed?

[TheNewTeddy]

I've been noting my colonists are seemingly more fine with smaller bedrooms now; has clearance/cramped thoughts been changed?

[RaginCajun]

Not sure about the change as I just started playing but I read in a reddit post that a 6x3 room was fine but I'm still getting negative buffs at that size and also 5x5 (naturally the 2x3 I tried from Dwarf Fortress was an utter failure..lol).  So the larger sizes are still giving me negatives today so assuming it's still a much larger room.

I still do get regular cramped, but I've been able to force very cramped.

colonists get NO mood change from thier bedroom. the only thing you can hope to add is impressive bedroom mood buff. for me though a 2x2 square with a large bed and a door is enough. they NEVER get angry because the second they enter the room their mood freezes, and after they finish sleeping they are immediately leaving the room. i find its a waste of space and resources to give colonists a good room if they are NEVER in it, and when they are their mood wont change.

Has it always been this way? In previous versions I seem to remember having to fight this by creating larger bedrooms.

Wait, I am doing 6x6 bedrooms for no reason now?

Larger bedrooms are nice when your colonists pray or meditate.

Yeah, they do other stuff in their bedroom as well, like b0rsuk said. And they can also rest there if the hospital is overcrowded (or non-existent).

My bedrooms are 13x9 (or 11x7 if you don't count the walls). That gives me a space rating of 100+ after I install the royal bed, the lamp and the heater.
BUT, if you install the bed near the wall, not in the center of the room like this,
=============     L lamp
=L                               B bed
=BB                             D door
=BB                             = wall
D
and colonist have spouse, the person sleeping next to wall gets "cramped" debuff if they both are in bed. (besides bad jokes about "lovin'" and cramped debuff). That's why I place bed 3 tiles away from wall, with pillows facing door (less time spent walking to bed).

Don't know if that helps, but I felt it worth sharing.

Later edit. Ah, and they pray and meditate in bedroom, so they do get cramped environment debuff if the room is too small.
