More Rooms

[MorbidDinosaur]

(Please let me know if I should move this to general discussion)

I would really like to see at least one new room in the future: Kitchen- with a bonus of less stress for the cook, but requires electric grill or micromusher and wash basin. 

I thought it would be fun to start a list of room everyone would like to see/or suggestions for current rooms in one spot. Any one else have any suggestions or ideas?

A garbage room, to trash the occupations in!

I actually like the occupation idea.  I just think mastery needs a permanent benefit.  If you are an expert courier, you gain a permanent buff to athletics.  If you are an expert miner, you always have a buff to mining and can mine abysallite.  But this is completely off topic for this suggestion.

I certainly agree that more rooms would be cool.  I'm almost certain they are in the works. 

On the kitchen idea:  Judging from the farm and power rooms, I bet that the result would be minor increase in kcal produced in the kitchen.  Maybe with faster cooking times too.

Also, I think this is a good topic for the suggestions forum.

I mean the occupation update is pretty much doubling our current room count, and even giving them varieties of sizes that they can be too, not just the current max of 64, but even maxes of up to 96 for the Powerplant and Greenhouse.

The kitchen is in fact the only room I still miss.

Corridor rooms - movement speed bonus. Max size 96 tiles or maybe more. Requires at least one powered door.

Corridors, yeah but instead of powered door I would say there is nothing else than decor allowed. The game considers doors as "walls" for detecting closed rooms. I think it might not work if doors were a requisite.

yeah, it would be a bit of a trick - maybe less of a room that a 2 tile tall path that follows along the floor - but then for run speed bonus we already have the metal tiles. Corridors might provide movement speed bonuses on ladders as well. I suppose checking if two powered airlock doors was a part of the room walls might be a start.

Requiring a wash basin in a kitchen would cramp my preferred style - I build my kitchen at the end of my mess hall, which has a wash basin on its only entrance anyway. Other possible argument against /requiring/ wash basins in either of those spaces is that you are already penalized for not having them in these areas via germ-spread!

All the same, I could live with such a requirement, as kitchen room is a nice idea all the same.
