Summary0000647: Uninjured dwarves sleep in hospital instead of dormitory, and other bedroom/sleeping issues
DescriptionUninjured dwarves seem inclined to sleep in the hospital, even though perfectly good dormitories are available. This can be problematic when actual injured dwarves show up and have no place to settle down.
Steps To Reproduce1. Build a set of beds and declare them as dormitories.
2. Build a hospital zone, build beds in said zone.
3. Watch as healthy dwarves sleep in both.

Seconded. Seen this in the same situation.

The hospital is closer to the meeting area than the dorms in my fort, which might be a factor. I've also noticed that regular dwarves who decide to sleep in the hospital beds show "Unconscious" on their Wounds screen. I wonder if this is cosmetic, or is actually having some kind of effect on the quality of rest.

A sleeping dwarf is always an unconscious dwarf. This is why hunters used to die to traps on a regular basis due to them falling asleep on the floor where they happen to be rather than going to a bed to sleep. Any unconscious creature will trigger a trap, even a trap avoid creature.

This persists even when the entire hospital area is set to Restricted Traffic and the Restricted Traffic Cost is set to maximum (100). With the cost of Normal Traffic being 2, and the beds being 10 steps into a Restricted Traffic Area, the next best bed would have to be more than 500 squares away in order for the hospital beds to be closer. The entire map is only a little less than 200 squares wide. Nobody's bed is anywhere near 500 squares away from the hospital entrance. 60 to 80 squares is my guess.

Dwarves doesn't take traffic designations into account when searching for closest <whatever>.

i noticed that only the beds that originate the dorm are used if a hospital is designated, if i individually make every bed in the dorm area a room and set it to dorm then the dwarves no longer sleep in the hospital.

I've also found that creating a load of bedrooms stops the dwarves sleeping in the hospital beds. They will happily claim an unassigned bedroom for themselves when they need to sleep & then use that from that point onwards.
I think the way it works is that if they don't have their own assinged room the dwarves first check for a bed in a bedroom which is available (as in either unassigned or a dormitory). If they can't find one they then just find the nearest unoccupied bed. The bug here is that the beds in a room designated as a dormitory aren't being checked as part of the room, only the bed which is used to define the room. As sarpadeon says the workaround is to use every bed in the dormitory to define a dormitory however this will substantially reduce the value of the dormitory & has no benefit over carving out individual bedrooms & allowing them to acquire them themselves.

Summary should be updated to reflect that the bug is actually with dwarves not sleeping in beds inside a dormitory.

I have a dormitory style communual bedroom with PLENTY of beds and I've caught them sleeping in the hospital on occasion. They don't do it real often in my fort though.

Encountered the problem myself in both Masterwork DF and the LNP. Will see if I can reproduce it in vanilla DF without DFhack. I'll post the outcome when done. (Tomorrow, in 12-14 hours)

EDIT: Set up a quick test for the bug, but failed to conclusively reproduce. Dwarves did use hospital beds but only when dorm beds were occupied (had to remove a few). Might be worth switching things around, seeing if they prefer to walk shorter distances, I haven't been able to test that with fewer beds (with many beds designated as hospital, they used that but the designating as hospital may have been too late to change their minds).
The save if needed for further testing: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8399 [^]

It's a quick setup, not a real fort, but it should be self-sufficient enough to test the bug.

@ footkerchief: I will the next time I spot it. I think it may partially have something to do with crowdedness, but that's my guess. I have LOTS of beds in the dormitory style bedroom, so I don't see it happening often.
