Public Beds?

[Jack Niggleson]

I have two identical snailhouse bars in the town I created (the second squad is literally a copy paste of the first) but for some reason only one has rental beds while the beds in the other are owned. In FCS they're both set to Public Beds = True., which I assumed was all you had to do to enable bed rentals.

Any idea why this is? It's a very minor annoyance, especially considering this is just a goof off mod I made for myself, but I'd like to at least figure out why it's happening, since I'm planning to make a larger city next that will probably have more than two bars/inns.

NPC or for you?

I mean public beds that the player can rent, like the ones in the bars in all the shek and HN cities.

Shidan might have to get this one then, as i never did anything in that area.

Far as I know that flag is all you have to do. So not sure why it is not working correctly. It's very strange.

I am assuming both buildings are vanilla snail houses.

I think this happens because there is another squad that inhabits the other snail house and their priority is higher.

If you did duplicate the squad, then it is just possible some other resident squad has a higher priority. I always suggest people using copies of vanilla houses when they want to determine which squad inhabits which house, because the game mechanic is designed to shuffle the residents every game. Have only one squad option per house and the game cannot shuffle.

I started a new game to test another change I made and now both sets of beds are rentable again. They're not quite vanilla snailhouses, they're "lagoon" snailhouses, which I think I stole from the Forgotten Buildings mod. They have an identical layout though. Also I could have sworn both had the barman squad and the right label before when one wasn't working, but I'm not 100% sure.

There are a ton of squads in the town, but I have a list of disliked buildings for each so that they mostly spawn in specific places since there are only one or two building types that each squad prefers.

For context, here's the town.

The second snailhouse is up on top of the platform where the cursor is. All the other squads have lagoon snailhouse in their disliked list and there are only the two snails, so in theory only the bar squads should be able to spawn in them, right?

You got that wrong way around, buildings do not have squads. Squads have buildings. So every squad that has the same int and ext layout a house has, is competing for the space. And a house has usually several optional layouts. Naturally disliked buildings are taken into account.
