bedrooms or barracks

[Dingleberry Dan]

is there any benefit to making single bedrooms vs one large barracks room or am i just spoiling my spacers?

As of yet there's not benefit in creating single bedrooms. It's quite the opposite: More beds in one room make the room more comfortable.

For reasons of immersion and aesthetics I build single rooms though, and I hope they'll be useful in the future.

It would really incentivize multiple ships. i'm on day... 424 and still just running one big platform with 17 spacers and 6 guns. 3x3 3 person barracks and i've still space to expand for more people.

As Nebelbiber mentioned, it's actually important to stack comfort objects instead of having separate rooms. Keep in mind that just like negative comfort items stack, so do the positive ones. Each unique object has its own category except light sources. They also have a falloff range. As you move further away from the object the amount of comfort provided is reduced. Most items don't have a direction to the benefit. For example the squares behind an arcade machine also inherit the comfort bonus.

I arrange my sleeping quarters so most beds have overlapping bonuses from:
* Bunkbed
* Single bed (these are different categories) :)
* Arcade Machine
* Jukebox
* x1 chair/x1 couch (hard to get both of these and still have the beds accessible)
* light source
* kitchen unit (I build some of these that aren't used for meals)

You can get pretty high comfort where your crew gets the feeling comfortable x 6 max bonus after only a couple hours of sleep. Although visually you'd think you have to leave the sides of the beds open for access, you only need to keep one square open along the entire edge including the ends. You can block any 5 of the 6 adjacent squares and your crew will still be able to use the bed.
