Personal Quarters Worth

[Skoges]

I know worth in a personal quarters matters, but I'm curious if there is a cap. Also, can I get some suggestions on what works best? Currently I'm using a 2x2 room with a bed and statue. Can I gain more worth with a 2x2 room? Should I expand the room to gain more worth?

Thanks,
J

Platinum statues, made well can be worth 7300$ or more. Made poorly a little over 4000$. That takes up ONE tile and a few bars of platinum to make. Using nice platinum, rose gold, or iron/steel floors works nice if you have surplus metal - same goes for the walls, if they are not bordering the outside where it would be obvious. I say surplus because you want to outfit your little gnomes with iron or steel armour and weapons. Steel is the king there. The better the walls, floors, and decorations of the room (not to mention the size!) can make it worth more. The more worth of the room the gnome sleeps in - not just the bed type - means the gnome sleeps more soundly and can be awake for longer before needing to sleep again. Your gnomes, if done correctly can stay up for two days - thats alot of work. Beds using mattresses are lots better than straw. Use birch wood furniture, it's worth more than pine, apple, or orange wood. There is no oak yet unfortunately. If you have the space, you could even make more large-sized rooms. I built something more resembling a hotel you'd see by the side of the highway than a castle, but I am fine with this. The rooms are 10x15 on mine and worth 6,000-12,000 a piece of average and that is without using metal surface for most of it, just some decorative inlays. It's all up to you and how much vision you have. Build what you want, not what others have built :)
Basically, it's going to behoove you to build the rooms to have enough value to keep your gnomes working and making enough material to keep the kingdom supplied and your building projects going. Do it right, and you will have lots of surplus for merchant day.

Now, who wants a stay at the 'Red Rock Inn'...

Thanks, not a problem trying to help here. Was tough to grasp at first but a week or a few days after you get it, it becomes fairly straight forward. Gnomoria.com forums (forums.gnomoria.com) can also be quite a blessing but you may have to start digging for your answer(s). I will check back periodically if you need help feel free to ask.

I like my 5x5 rooms. Bed in the middle, and all other squares can be filled up with furniture or statues. This is in the case that I am still starting out and just have simple things like malachite statues...add more statues for more points instead of having 1-2 really expensive material statues (at some point, things like malachite become an easy source material to build statues with so might as well use them as statues).

Sometimes I make the rooms by digging out the 5x5, or if it is an area that is already dug out (such maybe level -2 where I was digging for stone and dirt) then I just make the bedroom designation with space in between, so that I might come back and fill in with better walls.

once you start replacing wall blocks, there is also a way to use 1 block to count for 2 rooms. it relates to how close the rooms are.
