Add to the rule Locations:
* Indoors: If a Colonist is located anywhere that is considered Indoors per Rule 2.2 The Settlement, reduce all energy costs for that Colonist by 25% , rounding to the nearest integer with .5 rounding up, whilst that Colonist is Indoors.
Reword the last paragraph of the rule The Settlement to:
A group of connected Locations enclosed by Walls, Doors and/or Rock is known as a Room. If any single Location would be in more than one Room, only the largest counts as a Room. The Location of the door of the room is not considered as in the Room. If a Location is in a Room, that Location is Indoors. Otherwise, it is Outside.

“If any single Location would be in more than one Room, only the largest counts as a Room.”
The largest what? “Only the largest room counts as a Room”? “Only the largest location counts as a Room”? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.
SeerPenguin:
That’s already part of the existing rule, I only add “The Location of the door of the room is not considered as in the Room.”
However, I read it to say only that largest room counts as a room.

No it’s not, or at least, it’s not in the ruleset. It was in a failed proposal further down, but I don’t see it anywhere else.
I see what you meant now - you’re talking about rooms inside of rooms.
Interestingly, this means that you could (theoretically, though it would be a lot of work) build a freestanding building out of walls far away from the mountain and it would be considered “Indoors” even though it has no roof. Might be good for farming…

Oh, OK, I see where that is now. I was looking under “Locations”...

(Which is fine for defining “indoors”, but it’s not a useful definition of “room”.)
