Family bedroom

[wargod2009]

Noob here. I just received my first arrival of migrants. 6 dwarves in total. However 5 of them are from the same family: a father and his four youngest children. I would like to assign them their own family sized bedroom, yet the dormitory option doesn't seem to allow me to choose who I want in each bed nor does the bedroom option work for multiple people. How do I create a family bedroom? Thank you.

Spouses share a room. Children get their own rooms.

You can make a "house" with separate bedrooms and assign each member of the family their own bedroom. I've made some families have their own dining room/kitchen/washroom/bedroom setup over a multi-floor "house" before. It's fun to have a fortress laid out like village of two to three story underground houses, if you don't mind all of the extra work getting them properly laid out in a three dimensional space.

idk why i never thought of building houses before!!!!!!!!!

awesome. like attach some random rooms that dont really actually function but we pretend is like the living room, dining room, etc. Someone goes upstairs in their house to their bedroom. im gonna do that in my long forts because that is excellent flair, and families living in the same house hahaha yes!!!

I did the opposite in one fort. Put all the children in one apartment pod, separated from their parents. The only adults were mothers in the military with infants. Experiment failed, though, there would frequently be a kid playing out near where enemies came through. And I rely on child labor too much to burrow them 100% of the time.

But the children and parents did not seem to mind, though. Do it for Armok, the Blood <is thicker than water> God. Unless it gets overwhelming or tedious.

This sounds fun! I might try to make some cliff villages in a sectioned off cavern somewhere.
