Bedroll

Acquisition

Bedrolls can be constructed with 40 Stuff (Leather/Fabric) in 600 ticks (10 secs).

Summary

Bedrolls function similar to beds in most respects. However, unlike other beds, bedrolls can be carried and used in caravans. When resting, caravan members will automatically use bedrolls in caravan inventory, improving their comfort regeneration, rest efficiency, and healing rates. Quality affects these as normal, even when on caravan. Note however that even if using a bedroll allows pawns to fill their rest bar before dawn, the caravan will be able to move until first light.

To add bedrolls to a caravan, they cannot be "installed", which is their default upon creation. You must select a bedroll and choose the Uninstall option available for all types of Furniture. It will go into regular storage and be available in the config tab when you are forming the caravan.

Rest Effectiveness

Rest Effectiveness is a measure how fast a pawn will regain rest. A pawn sleeping in a bed with 125% rest effectiveness would regain rest 25% faster, and thus require 80% of the time to sleep. Rest effectiveness under 100% increases rest time needed.

Rest effectiveness for bedrolls varies by quality.

Quality	Awful	Poor	Normal	Good	Excellent	Masterwork	Legendary
Rest effectiveness	82% (12.85 hr)	87% (12.01 hr)	95% (11.05 hr)	103% (10.23 hr)	108% (9.7 hr)	119% (8.84 hr)	152% (6.91 hr)

^{Bracketed times are time to refill rest to 100% from 0% at the given rest effectiveness.}

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 varies by quality but not material. Beds of the same quality level will all have the same comfort, regardless of what they're constructed from. An adjacent end table and a nearby dresser will each increase the base comfort by a further +0.05. This increase is applied before the quality multiplier.

Quality	Awful	Poor	Normal	Good	Excellent	Masterwork	Legendary
Comfort	0.52	0.6	0.68	0.76	0.84	0.99	1.16
+ End Table & Dresser	0.59	0.69	0.78	0.87	0.97	1.13	1.33

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 on the bed type with most beds having a base value of 100%, the sleeping spot a lower value of 70%, and the hospital bed a higher value of 110%. This base value is then modified by the bed's quality level. Beds of the same type and quality level will all have the same factor, regardless of what they're constructed from.

Quality	Awful	Poor	Normal	Good	Excellent	Masterwork	Legendary
Surgery Success Chance Factor	90	95	100	105	110	115	130

Analysis

Bedrolls are inferior to beds of the same quality for rest effectiveness and comfort, but slightly superior to beds of one quality level below. Thus, installing high quality bedrolls as long-term sleeping assignments has merit. However, a colony may have more spare wood than textiles to spare, and beds are the practical solution. Any bedrolls replaced by static beds can then be used for caravan duty.

As for materials, the choice only affects hit points, flammability and value, so any expendable textile should be used.
