Summary

0003237: Beds still not 100% functional -- some dwarves still prefer to sleep in dormitory instead of claiming bedrooms

Description

Updated .31.12 fort to .31.13. (Phoebus graphics pack, used his save updater.) Disassembled every single bed in the fortress, then re designated them. Waited until all were placed, then set rooms for all of the individual bedrooms and designated a large dormitory as well (it was already built, although not necessary any more).

Later, watching the bedrooms I noticed that many dwarves still prefer to sleep in the dormitory than in one of nearly a hundred unclaimed bedrooms. Many of the bedrooms are getting claimed, but any bed in the mass dormitory that I designate as a dormitory gets slept in constantly.

Steps To Reproduce

After rebuilding all of your beds, designate a dormitory in addition to bedrooms. Watch as many dwarves still sleep in the dormitory, preventing them from claiming bedrooms.

Additional Information

This really, really, really belongs in http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1992 [^] but I simply can not for the utter life of me figure out how to re open the issue. I suspect I cannot because I didn't initially report it. There is simply no button I can click to add any note or comment. I gave it the tag 'still happens'; that was the best I could do.
