Summary

For a description of mechanics shared by all sleep furniture, see Sleep furniture mechanics.

Ancient beds are a form of sleep furniture. One pawn can sleep on one at a time.

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.

Ancient bed
Rest effectiveness	85% (12.35 h)

^{Bracketed numbers are in-game hours to refill rest from 0% to 100% at the given rest effectiveness.}

Comfort

Comfort is a measure of how high a pawn can refill their comfort meter while using the piece of furniture. A pawn sleeping in a bed with a higher comfort value can achieve a higher level. It does not affect the rate at which comfort increases only the maximum level. Comfort levels over 100% have no additional effect. Ancient beds do not benefit from end tables or dressers.

Comfort	75%

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 an ancient bed. Most beds and bedrolls have a base value of 100%, which is multiplied by quality. Construction material does not matter. Ancient beds have no quality, and are always considered to have a ×100% multiplier to their base value.

Surgery Success Chance Factor	65%

^{This table assumes the ancient bed is inside a clean, properly lit room. For the full effects of light, cleanliness and placing the ancient bed outside see Surgery Success Chance Factor.}

Healing

A pawn resting in a ancient bed of any quality will have their Immunity Gain Speed multiplied by ×0.95 and heal an additional +5 HP from injuries per day.

Analysis

The ancient bed is near identical in terms of Rest Effectiveness to an awful quality non stone blocks bed, or to a poor quality stone blocks bed. Comfort-wise, it is equivalent to a normal quality bed of any material. It also has the worst Surgery Success Chance Factor and Immunity Gain Speed Factor of all beds, including sleeping spots. As such, it only has only 2 advantages over a sleeping spot:

• It negates the −4 Slept on ground mood for 1 day for not using a bed.
• It has a higher injury healing rate than a sleeping spot (+5 vs +4)

Therefore, ancient beds are only viable if regular beds are impossible to procure. Such a case would require an entire colony incapable of Construction or a critical shortage of raw materials to make beds, both cases rather unlikely. The only biomes with no wood to cut, ice sheet and sea ice, do not spawn ruins with ancient beds. Even in such a case, the humble sleeping spot will be better for most medical uses with the sole exception of healing injuries (albeit barely). Due to the previously stated reasons, ancient beds have little practical use.
