The short answer

For Poor Private Room 0/2, build two independent rooms rather than one large bedroom. Each room should be a complete enclosed space with a 3×3 interior, one usable door, and exactly one Sleep furniture item at quality 5 or higher.

The cheapest test is two matching 5×5 outer frames. With one-tile walls, each frame leaves 9 interior tiles. A Wood Bed, Stone Bed, or Cloth Bedroll can be the Sleep item if its current quality meets the requirement.

Build two small private rooms in five steps

1. Pick two separate spots in the settlement and leave enough space for two small rooms. Do not plan one shared bedroom for this objective.

2. Build the first room as a 5×5 outer frame. Close the walls and all four corners so the walkable interior is 3×3, then leave one usable door.

3. Put one Sleep item inside the first room. A Wood Bed, Stone Bed, or Cloth Bedroll works as the test furniture when its current quality is at least 5.

4. Repeat the same 5×5 frame, door, 3×3 interior, and one Sleep item in a separate space. Keep a wall between the rooms so the game cannot treat them as one large room.

5. Wait for the room state to update, then check the task counter. Success is 2/2, or a room tooltip/state that identifies both spaces as Poor Private Room.

Minimum layout: 5×5 outside, 3×3 inside

Use this grid as a construction guide. The outer border is the wall, the middle area is the 3×3 interior, and D marks the door position. Build the same pattern twice with a solid separating wall.

The diagram is a practical minimum layout, not a promise that every future build will use the same wall thickness. If the current room preview reports a different size, follow the in-game preview and Game Guide.

Private Room versus Shared Room

The important distinction for this objective is the number of Sleep items assigned to the enclosed space. A single Sleep item in a small complete room is the cleanest test for Poor Private Room; placing two beds together can satisfy a Shared Room pattern instead.

Poor Private Room1 Sleep item, quality 5+9 tiles / 3×3Yes, build two separate rooms
Poor Shared Room2 Sleep items, quality 5+9 tiles / 3×3No, not the cleanest match

If the task does not register

1. Check the four corners first. A diagonal gap or incomplete wall can leave the space open even when it looks enclosed at a glance.

2. Check the door next. The opening must be a usable, complete door, not a missing section of wall that joins the room to the outside.

3. Check that the rooms have not merged. Keep a solid wall between them and avoid placing both beds in one continuous interior.

4. Check the furniture. Each room needs one Sleep item, and the current item quality must be at least 5. Do not add random furniture before confirming these basics.

5. Press F5 to open the Game Guide and inspect Rooms. The current game interface is the final check for room size, furniture type, quality, and the 2/2 task counter.

Version boundary

Room recognition is version-sensitive during Early Access. The 3×3, one Sleep item, and quality 5+ baseline is the current working solution for this page, while F5/Game Guide remains the final check when a future update changes the rule.
