How do I see if a room is meager, modest, legendary etc?

[Tophe]

Is there a way to see this on the actual room? If I assign a bedroom to a character I can see in that assignment menu that an assigned room is "meager" or "modest".

But how do I check this on the room itself?

well i know the basics is a door and a bed that makes it a meager quarters, as to what improves the quality i know its adding stuff like a chest and cabinet, makes it better. Im an unaware at this time if there is a way to see what actually makes a room better, You have to think a little as to what makes a room better I mean your room isnt just a door and bed is it?hope this helps a bit with the answer.


{TLDR} The simple answer is the more stuff they have the better it is (not just a bed). Unaware of something to see room quality at the moment.

I cant remember offhand if tells you as well but looking at it in zone mode gives some info. Also smoothing the room increases its standing.

Yes, thank you - I know this (even though I don't quite know exactly what does what). But my question was how do I see what state a room is in? As of now, the only way I can se this is to assign the room to a dwarf and then go back to the room assignment list and see what kind of room I just assigned. That's where I can see "meager bedroom" etc.

It ought to be possible to look diectly at the room, somehow, and see if it's modest, legendary etc.

It IS possible in the classic version. There you can press 'R' to get a list of your rooms, including those descriptions. But that seems to be missing in the Steam version, sadly.

This feature is missing in the Steam release it seems. It's based on the room's total value of its contents: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Room#Quality
