Room/en: Difference between revisions

'''Rooms''' are a type of structure players may create for staying warm and avoiding the consequences of harsh winter, or to use as cellars or greenhouses.

All valid rooms are enclosed rooms with the exception of open-air cellars for making blue cheese. All rooms additionally have a ''cooling score'' and a ''skylight score''. These are largely relevant for two special room types, cellars and greenhouses.

* Heat from a {{ll|Temperature#Body_temperature|heat source}} extends farther out into the room,  

* While sleeping, player body temperature will slowly adjust towards normal.

Any fully-enclosed space that fits within a 14x14x14 cube in size may be counted as a room by the game.  All sides must be enclosed with full sides of blocks facing inwards, and all doors, including trapdoors, count as solid blocks for the sake of building a room with the exceptions of crude, sleek, and rough doors which all count as non-airtight doors.  The one exception to the general rule is that chiseled blocks do not have to have a completely solid face, and instead have to have no more than 20 voxels missing from the inward face and at least 50% of the total volume of the block in voxels to count as solid.

'''Greenhouses''' are structures intended to make {{ll|farming|farming}} crops possible in climates that drop below the pausing point of crops for part of the year. If built correctly, the farmland, fruit trees, berries, or beehives inside of the structure will be treated as if those blocks are 5°C warmer than those outside at all times. If this effect is working, the tooltip for blocks inside the greenhouse will show a "+5°C" effect.

Any blocks inside the room that have at least as much sunlight as outside the room will count toward the skylight count. The total skylight score is determined by dividing the skylight count by the total volume of blocks inside the room. Player-created light sources, such as torches and lanterns, have no impact on skylight score. Common blocks used to allow in light include glass blocks or windows.

{{Protip|While more complicated layouts will work, the simplest way to ensure you get a skylight score of at least 50% is to make it so at least half of the blocks in your ceiling allow sunlight through.}}

'''Cellars''' are used to store any goods that will spoil at a much slower spoil rate compared to non-cellar rooms, or outdoors.

 

Any blocks may be used to create a cellar, but different blocks have different insulation values. Blocks in the stone, soil, ceramic, or ore classes are the best insulators, and will each add 1 to the cooling block total. The one exception being farmland which gives 3 to the non-cooling block total, as do trapdoors. Airtight doors add 3 per block of space they occupy when open and 1 per block when closed to the non-cooling block total.  The game creates the cooling score by dividing the non-cooling block total by the cooling block total and capping the number at 1, for 100%.

The main use of cellars is for food preservation, however cellars reduce the rate of spoilage for any good stored inside whether it is a food or not. This reduced rate of spoilage stacks with container types, so placing storage vessels and sealed crocks into a cellar can drastically extend the shelf-life of any food inside them.

{{Protip|Because there is no minimum size for a cellar, burying a vessel in a cube of dirt is an extremely effective way of preserving food early-game. Just dig out the top block or a side block to access it, then replace it to seal it again. Make sure the vessel is surrounded on every side by a cooling block and never build with anything transparent or you won’t get the full bonus!}}
