Housing Rooms

A room is recognized as the highest-priority type whose requirements it meets: required furniture (by building subtype and quality), minimum interior size (floor tiles inside the walls), wall/floor average quality and total decoration quality. Each Preview is a minimum layout that satisfies every gate at once: a floor of exactly the minimum area (countable cell grid), walls, floor and a door of the cheapest tier passing the Wall/Floor Q gate, the required furniture at its true occupied footprint, and a minimum decoration set reaching the Deco Q total - all drawn with the game's own tiles and sprites at in-game scale. Replicate the preview and the room qualifies.

How room quality works

Before a room counts as a given type, the game checks two quality gates (in-game tooltip wording; N is the per-room threshold):

  • Average wall/floor Quality of the room must be N or higher
  • Total decoration Quality in the room must be N or higher

Wall/floor quality is the average Quality over the floor tiles inside the room AND the walls enclosing it, corners included; buildable tiers are Straw Q0 / Log Q5 / Lumber (plank) Q10 / Stone Q15, so building walls and floor entirely from the tier matching the gate always passes. The decoration total sums the Quality of every building inside the room EXCEPT walls, doors and floor tiles - the required furniture itself counts toward it. N differs per room: the exact thresholds are the Wall/Floor Q and Deco Q columns in the table below.
