My side of the bed
[b]MY SIDE OF THE BED[/b]
Ever wanted to control in which bed slots your colonists should sleep? With this mod you can — across double beds, bunk beds and multi-slot beds. On top of that, for double beds only, each colonist has a preferred left, right or no preferred sleeping side. Sleeping on the right or wrong side has a small mood impact.
Feedback and bug reports are welcome — details below.

[b]What This Mod Does[/b]
Slot Management
[list]
[*] [b]Manage Bed Slots dialog[/b] — a Manage Bed Slots gizmo appears on any eligible player-owned bed with 2 or more slots. Click it to open the slot management window.
[*] [b]Per-slot assignment[/b] — assign, reassign, unassign or swap colonists between slots. Cross-slot swaps are supported directly through the Reassign button.
[*] [b]Left / Right labels[/b] — each slot in a double bed shows its physical viewer-left or viewer-right side, correctly resolved for all four bed rotations.
[*] [b]Swap button[/b] — a dedicated swap button between adjacent slots lets you exchange two occupants in one click.
[*] [b]Ideology check[/b] — the picker greys out candidates whose ideology or whose potential co-sleeper's ideology forbids sharing a bed.
[*] [b]Slave bed support[/b] — on beds occupied by colony slaves the picker shows only colony slaves.
[*] [b]Smart gizmo visibility[/b] — the gizmo is hidden on prisoner beds, medical beds and Hospitality guest beds where slot management does not apply.
[/list]
Bunk Bed Support (optional — requires BunkBeds or Vanilla Gravship Expanded - Chapter 1 mod)
[list]
[*] [b]Vertical slot dialog[/b] — bunk beds get a dedicated stacked slot dialog with top-to-bottom rendering that matches the in-game visual (top bunk shown at the top).
[*] [b]Slot intent enforcement[/b] — dialog-assigned bunk levels are enforced at sleep time. Pawns go to their assigned bunk, not just the first free one.
[*] [b]NRE guards[/b] — Harmony patches protect all vanilla methods that iterate OwnersForReading from NullReferenceExceptions caused by null-padded owner lists.
[/list]
Multi-slot Bed Support (modded content)
[list]
[*] [b]Scrollable multi-slot dialog[/b] — beds with 3 or more side-by-side or stacked slots get a scrollable slot management dialog so all slots remain accessible regardless of count.
[/list]
Bed Side Preference (double beds only)
Left / right preference and all associated mood effects apply [b]exclusively to double beds[/b] (exactly 2 side-by-side slots). Bunk beds and multi-slot beds support slot assignment only.
[list]
[*] [b]Deterministic preference[/b] — every colonist is assigned a preferred side (left, right or none) once. Children included; babies and newborns excluded.
[*] [b]Smart bed selection[/b] — when vanilla picks an unowned double bed for a pawn and their preferred side is occupied, the mod looks for an equally close or closer double bed where the preferred side is free. If none exists, the original bed is kept. Love partners are never separated. Single-bed selection and general bed priority are entirely vanilla.
[*] [b]Mood while sleeping[/b] — sleeping on the preferred side gives [b]+5 mood[/b]. Sleeping on the wrong side gives [b]-5 mood[/b]. Only active during sleep.
[*] [b]Lingering mood after sleep[/b] — after waking up well-rested, a [b]+4 / -4 mood[/b] memory persists for ~6 hours, decaying gradually to zero. When the pawn goes back to sleep the lingering mood is removed and the in-sleep thought takes over again.
[*] [b]Rest-need tooltip[/b] — hovering over a pawn's Sleep bar in the Needs tab shows their preferred side.
[*] [b]Trait re-evaluation[/b] — if a pawn gains a new trait the preference is recalculated to stay in sync.
