A good idea. Then the pre-built BOR (Beds Of Reality) can be removed
from the apartments, and they will be an optional extra.

Since there are wild animals in the wilderness sleeping out in the
open poses aditional dangers. There could be a random probability of
you getting attacked by wild animals (expressed in-game by sumoning
hostile monsters to the player when he/she log in).

Would they then have a pocket dimension? (in CF if a pocket dimension
did exist, it would allow permanent storage of infinite items, as
there is no limit to how high stacks can go. Perhaps a way of limiting
that would be to make high stacks fall over and scatter. On open areas
this would work quite well, but in a closed area, where it is
impossible to spill any higher, and therefore the items will stack
regardless, there could be a hard limit, after which "the stack is up
to the cieling", and no more can be placed on it. Therefore the drop
code could go like [check stack size < 100], and spill code could go
like
[for (every tile i && heightof i > spill_limit)
  for (tile in every direction j)
    if (height of i > (height of j)+1)
      spill top item from i to top of j;])
