Sleeping spots are used to designate a particular patch of ground for your pawns to sleep on. Although technically furniture, they require no materials to build, and take no time to construct or destroy.

Acquisition

Sleeping spots do not require a colonist to construct or deconstruct, nor is there a cost, build time, or skill requirements for placing them. Instead, they are simply selected from the menu and placed directly by the player. They can be placed even when the game is paused.

Summary

Sleeping spots provide a little more comfort than simply sleeping on the ground (0.4). However, sleeping spots do not increase Rest Effectiveness. Spots do not benefit from end tables or dressers.

Without any designated spot or bed to sleep, colonists will sleep as soon as they finish their last task. Sleeping outside gives a −4 mood debuff. A sleeping area is also required to create a prison and capture prisoners.

Rest Effectiveness

Rest Effectiveness is a measure how fast a pawn will regain rest. A pawn sleeping in a bed with 80% rest effectiveness would regain rest 80% as fast, and thus require 125% time to sleep

  • Rest Effectiveness
    80%
  • Comfort

    Comfort is a measure of how fast a pawn will refill their comfort meter. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value will regain comfort proportionally faster.

  • Comfort
    40%
  • Surgery Success Chance Factor

    The Surgery Success Chance Factor is exactly what it sounds like - a multiplier on the chance for a successful surgery assuming it is performed in this bed. The base value depends soley on bed type; beds and bedrolls have 100%, hospital beds have a superior 110%, and sleeping spot, 70%. Quality or material of the bed does not matter.

  • Surgery Success Chance Factor
    70%
  • Analysis

    Sleeping spots are helpful for New Tribe scenarios. Bedrolls require fabric or leather, which isn't feasible to obtain when first creating a colony. Beds require Complex Furniture, which New Tribes simply not have. Colonists will gain a −4 Slept on the ground moodlet for sleeping on a spot, but placing spots inside will at least prevent the Slept outside moodlet.

    As temporary beds, sleeping spots have many uses. They can instantly make a room into a prison, allowing you to capture raiders. They can be used when a colony is out on a caravan. Sleeping spots can also be used to tend right after battle. Note that a drafted colonist can tend to others anywhere, without them needing to lay down.

    Sleeping spots also have a niche for prisons, in general. Prisoners who have gone berserk will damage and destroy beds, potentially destroying resources. Prisoner mood also matters less; with Ideology enabled, low mood can even trigger a crisis of beliefContent added by the Ideology DLC.

    Sleep comparison

    Both beds and bedrolls are superior to sleeping spots. A normal quality, non-stone bed requires 80% the sleep time that a bedroll, and increases all of: Immunity Gain Speed, Comfort, and Surgery Success Chance. Even an awful bedroll is superior in every bed stat. For many players, avoiding the -4 mood penalty for sleeping on the ground already makes a bed worth it. If there's extreme resource scarcity (such as in Sea ice), it might not be feasible to build a bed/bedroll. Otherwise, they are a flat and useful upgrade.
