Buffs bedrooms and nerfs barracks.

Title is not completely truthful. But any bedroom that is at least dull will beat any barracks.


Bedrooms
Mood thoughts now go from -1 to +16. Was -2 to +8. Most difference is in the early levels with diminishing returns. Practically speaking this makes making bedrooms dramatically better, especially if you get them above "Awful -1" and into "Dull (+3)", or "Mediocre (+6)".

Notably...
Dull (+0-> +3)
Slightly Impressive (+3 -> +10).


Barracks
-7 to +2. Was -7 to +4.

Like with bedrooms, the mood penalty decreases rapidly at the start.


Reasoning
Colonists living in luxury are going to care a lot more about having a decent private bedroom than sleeping crammed like sardines in the middle of a museum exhibition.

This mod is intended to encourage building bedrooms as a way to manage mood in the mid-game, and making sinfully expensive bedrooms actually be an efficient way to handle nobles and colony leaders with high demands (instead of sticking another statue in the dinning room)


Ideology DLC Meme?
I did consider making this a meme instead, but that would lock the mod behind a DLC. Besides making memes is more work than a simple patch.

I think you should make +4 to +20 for bed room, barrack still the way to go in late game, specially when your base expanded too much, there are no room left, even a 7x7 room is hard to come by, let alone decorating that tiny room to look nice :sad_seagull:

B-but good barrack gives like +1, you can buff bedroom, why nerf barrack... T^T

@Well that was lucky
It doesn’t nerf anything but the most outrageously decorated barracks anymore. :)

It mostly buffs bedroom to actually make them relevant, especially for gravships where personal rooms is still a common sci-fi trope.

What I'm concerned about is ships. I usually have my ship in a compact design and that somewhat rely on that small (but needed) barracks mood buff. So my question here is will this mod substantially effect compact ship designs.

although finding if a room a pawn slept in had 3 statues or not might be hard to code in

@Doctor Sex an even better idea: if a barracks room or a bedroom has 3 or more statues(or maybe ) everyone who sleeps in the room gets -5 mood

i think that at 140 points in barrack paws should get like -5 with description "either u wana buy me off with these statues or you really think we are stupid"
