Buffs bedrooms and nerfs barracks.

Title is not completely truthful. But any bedroom that is at least dull will beat any barracks.


Bedrooms

Mood thoughts now go from -1 to +16. Was -2 to +8. Most difference is in the early levels with diminishing returns. Practically speaking this makes making bedrooms dramatically better, especially if you get them above "Awful -1" and into "Dull (+3)", or "Mediocre (+6)".

Notably…
Dull (+0-> +3)
Slightly Impressive (+3 -> +10).


Barracks

-7 to +2. Was -7 to +4.

Like with bedrooms, the mood penalty decreases rapidly at the start.


Reasoning

Colonists living in luxury are going to care a lot more about having a decent private bedroom than sleeping crammed like sardines in the middle of a museum exhibition.

This mod is intended to encourage building bedrooms as a way to manage mood in the mid-game, and making sinfully expensive bedrooms actually be an efficient way to handle nobles and colony leaders with high demands (instead of sticking another statue in the dinning room)


Ideology DLC Meme?

I did consider making this a meme instead, but that would lock the mod behind a DLC. Besides making memes is more work than a simple patch.
