Summary0005354: Can safely sleep in abandoned keep
DescriptionI found an abandoned worldgen fortress (apparently everyone who wasn't killed by a dragon attack got turned into were-elephants), and could safely sleep in it, without being attacked by bogeymen.

You can safely sleep in any building as long as there is a roof above your head.

Is this necessarily a bug? We don't know how bogeymen work, but they seem magical -- they can't attack you if you're not alone, say, no matter how weak you and your buddy are. It could be that something about the fact that the fortress was made for habitation is enough to keep them out. Perhaps they simply can't cross the threshold, no matter how uninhabited it is.

I've found that I can *also* safely sleep inside of lairs, so I don't think that the behavior is intentional.

The rule is that any place that is "inside" in the sense that you can't see the sun clearly with 'W' also stops bogeymen. If you go outside, are ambushed by them, and then run indoors, they should all turn into smoke. So lairs and keeps should be good. I don't remember if it ruins and breaks down keeps, but if it has an open ceiling making it shouldn't be safe.
