What is this?
This mod is a complete rewrite of the original Realistic Rooms mod by Dragon Fist Ent (here) and it's updated version by Scherub (here).

The original mod uses outdated methods which cause incompatibilities with other mods.

This mod is also FULLY CONFIGURABLE from the in game settings menu.

What does it do?
This mod lowers the required space for each tier of room size (cramped, rather tight, etc.).

The table below shows the comparison between vanilla and this mods default values, along with the values from the original Realistic Rooms mod.

IMPORTANT! These values are not the number of tiles in a room, the formula the game uses for this is ([numOfWalkableTiles] * 1.4) + ([numOfOccupiedTiles] * 0.5)
Meaning that an empty 4x4 room will actually score 22.4 on space.

The default values are somwhere between the original mod and it's lite version. I find these to be more balanced. If you like you can change the values in the config menu to whatever you prefer. I do recommend using x.5 values for rounding reasons explained at the bottom.

I have also included a feature from the original mod which lowers the beauty impact of dirt and sand dropped inside a room.
Because a bit of dirt on the floor doesn't make the room uninhabitable.

QA
Q: Why use this mod instead of this one instead?
A:That mod doesn't support decimal values. That's literally it.
Mod no longer updated.

Q:Why are all the default values .5
A: Game rounds up on the GUI. Without the .5 the number shown in-game would not match directly with the tiers.

COMPATIBLE WITH 1.4
REQUIRES HUGSLIB FOR 1.3

Is this mod safe to use?

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
Then enable the mod in the game mods menu by double clicking on its name and restart the game
