Realistic Rooms Rewritten

Description
For 1.5, 1.4 and 1.3

Lower your room space requirements!

Safe to add mid-save.

1.3 version requires HugsLib

What is this?
This mod is a complete rewrite of the original Realistic Rooms mod by Dragon Fist Ent (here) and it's updated version by Scherub (here).

The original mod uses outdated methods which cause incompatibilities with other mods.

This mod is also FULLY CONFIGURABLE from the in game settings menu.

What does it do?
This mod lowers the required space for each tier of room size (cramped, rather tight, etc.).

The table below shows the comparison between vanilla and this mods default values, along with the values from the original Realistic Rooms mod.

IMPORTANT! These values are not the number of tiles in a room, the formula the game uses for this is ([numOfWalkableTiles] * 1.4) + ([numOfOccupiedTiles] * 0.5)
Meaning that an empty 4x4 room will actually score 22.4 on space.

The default values are somwhere between the original mod and it's lite version. I find these to be more balanced. If you like you can change the values in the config menu to whatever you prefer. I do recommend using x.5 values for rounding reasons explained at the bottom.

I have also included a feature from the original mod which lowers the beauty impact of dirt and sand dropped inside a room.
Because a bit of dirt on the floor doesn't make the room uninhabitable.

QA
Q: Why use this mod instead of this one instead?
A:That mod doesn't support decimal values. That's literally it.
Mod no longer updated.

Q:Why are all the default values .5
A: Game rounds up on the GUI. Without the .5 the number shown in-game would not match directly with the tiers.

COMPATIBLE WITH 1.5
REQUIRES HUGSLIB FOR 1.3

Thnaks for making this! Love rimworld but room sizes are one thing that have never made sense to me, struggling to survive a savage world and friends dying all around you yet wanting a penthouse each :steammocking:

haha I think you have surpassed my original mod in numbers, at least in current downloads. though am glad someone else took it up.

@hysteria
I'm not sure if it's actually the case but I did some testing. changing the values in the mod options DOES work, but it isnt always shown when you check the stats of a room, Since I dont play in english, I suspect an error in traduction. when I tweak the value in extreme ways, pawns will show the "quite spacious" mood modifier even in a 3*3 room, despite the stat displayed being "rather tight".

Awesome mod. Any chance you could add the functionality from Variable Room Sizes? Owlchemist isn't updating it anymore and I think its a functionality that has been overlooked that makes a lot of sense to have :)

@hysteria123 I did reply to you before, I can't replicate the issue. The config menu works fine for me, and seems to work fine for others too. Try testing this mod on it's own to see if it's actually a conflict issue.

If you like you can change the values in the config menu to whatever you prefer. ← Does not work.

Thanks @Lucifer i will install in my current playthrough and observe. Time to say gud bye to unrealistically big rooms
Lucifer  [author] 31 Oct, 2024 @ 10:44am 
@Arx Should be. Room size calculation is done independent of room type, unless the mod specifically changes it. Easy enough to test with cheats on.

Is it compatible will Vanilla expanded empire ? As it adds no titles and new size requirements for rooms/throne room and a new ball room?

@hysteria123 Can't replicate the issue. Changing the sliders then clicking close instantly changes the room size tolerances. Possible mod incompatibility. Also could try unsubscribe/resubscribe.
