Worldgen should set a purpose for each room.

EMPTY ROOMS

50-60% 'empty' rooms (garbage, some furniture, rubble, statuary, plant and fungal life, body parts, greasy pots, shadowy portraits, bloodstains, scent of brimstone, fresh flowers, broken mirrors, too clean, on fire, empty empty)

"The rooms are supposed to be unoccupied, without monsters, but that doesn't mean they're empty of furnishings, puzzles, clues, useful tools, etc.".

"these rooms are all demolished apartments or utility rooms, with shattered and useless furnishings, and 0-3 human skeletons."

Corridors

What's found in corridors? Rubble, cover and concealment, roots, mushrooms, partial cave-in clues to what's nearby, improvised barricades and cover, crates, barrels, sacks, broken furniture

Some rooms and notes thereon

Room purposes are a mix of original use and current use. Following the name are notes about what's commonly found within. We need a RoomRequirement for "Delaunay connecting room is (or is NOT) of certain RoomPurpose" Any currently used room will likely have at least one candle, lit or not. Wall candle sconces are common near doorways unless otherwise noted. Rubble means broken bricks, dirt mounds and patches, broken furniture, wooden beams, broken mirror, etc *indicates first ones for demo +means try hard to have this item, place it first (unless candles or something else that needs to sit on top of something else)

Some crypt ideas:

• Rooms full of their earthly possessions they wanted to keep with them in the afterlife.
• Rooms where the burial rituals were performed.
• Rooms where their servants were interred alongside them.
• Rooms full of gifts or engraved prayers to the gods to protect the soul.
• Page 295 of the 5e DMG has a list of example rooms in tomb dungeons.
• Rooms with intricately carved sarcophagi, adorned with symbols and hieroglyphs that depict the life and achievements of the deceased.
• Rooms housing ancient funerary artifacts and relics, carefully preserved as offerings for the afterlife.
• Rooms containing elaborate wall paintings and murals, depicting scenes from mythological tales and religious ceremonies.
• Rooms with eerie silence, the air thick with the weight of history and the presence of restless spirits.
• Rooms filled with the scent of incense and herbs, used in ancient purification rituals and as offerings to the gods.
• Rooms where the remnants of funeral feasts and offerings lay scattered, frozen in time, a ghostly reminder of past gatherings and celebrations. Rooms holding rows of funerary urns, each containing the ashes of departed souls,

Also, please add to your list RequirementMinDoorways and RequirementMaxDoorways

Maybe RequirementMinDLvl and MaxDLvl meaning these will spawn no earlier or later than n dungeon level when we have those

Should RequirementPlaceFirst be one or should we just do that with the order they appear?

RequirementSymmetry might be useful but harder to do. Bilateral symmetry, aka door in the center of the wall 6-wide wall or similar layouts

RequirementBranch for stuff only found in a certain dungeon branch?

Probably should have RequirementRoomPurpose so that when Purposes overlap, this one can overlap a specific other one?

Maybe Should Have Pillars should be more clear and either mean Must Have Pillars or Must Never Have Pillars because most rooms won't care and will be fine for either

Also, how are you going to stuff from here, above, looking under Original purpose and Current use, how are we going to have things like No Wall Lighting and most importantly, what items can be found within and whether it's required or optional?
