Provides living quarters and extended life support for spacecraft crew during long voyages. A habitat includes a pressurized hull, radiation shielding, and a variety of standard features such as airlocks, hatches, compartmentalization, and elevators.
And this is why it's a poor model for things that go on the ground. Because mostly, your house is not pressurised or radiation shielded to the degree a ship is. Also, there's a shortage of elevators when everything is just shipping containers. But you do have to get from one section to the next, so who knows, maybe there are corridors. There's a lot of ways to arrange the boxes so you can get to visit your neighbours without going out in the rain.
It can contain several different types of facilities.
Bunkroom: Cramped accommodations with bunk beds for up to four people. Often used for enlisted crew, troops, or colonists. Cabin: Quarters for one person in comfort or shared by two occupants. Cell or Cage: Spartan accommodations equivalent to bunk, but with fewer amenities. Includes a barred door, electronic lock, and surveillance camera.
Each of those options take up one cabin.
Luxury Cabin: A suite with very comfortable quarters for one or two occupants.
Takes up 2 cabins of space.
Steerage Cargo: Unused tonnage in a habitat is usually assigned to cargo; [5 tons per SM+6 cabin]. Steerage cargo is pressurized and climate- controlled, so it can be used for livestock or delicate goods.
And again, 'pressurised' is probably a bit much, but 'indoors in the dry and reasonably warm' would be another way to put it.
Cabins, cells, and bunkrooms are accommodations that provide sleeping quarters and full life support to permit occupancy for an indefinite period. They have sanitary, galley, and dining facilities appropriate to their size and quality. For example, a habitat with 10 luxury cabins will likely have a well- appointed kitchen and sumptuous dining room; one with a single bunkroom may have a microwave oven and a mini- fridge. Life support provides air, climate control, and water for occupants.
So that's heat and cool, and full water recycling that cleans up your wastes, which is a rather over impressive investment for a glorified caravan. Especially since some people would in fact just bring a caravan, lets face it. But it wouldn't actually need the air supply on a planet with breathable air. It doesn't have a ! for needing to be connected to a generator, so it acts like it manages all its own power needs too, which is implausible without regular fuel delivery or rather more solar power than you'd get in Britain.
All the tech explains why it's $100K per room.
It's a bit of overkill for something crammed 5 to a shipping container,
I don't know where the kitchen is supposed to fit in a standard cabin though. Probably more towards the microwave end, but with a bigger fridge.
Sanitary facilities would have to be those scarily compact ones from ship cabins.
Up to 5 cabins per container. 200 containers. up to 4 bunk beds per cabin. You could just bring shelter for 4000 people in a single gate activation.
Of course it's more likely that people packing for the rest of their lives decide on one luxury cabin each and use the other 3 slots for cargo and maybe an office and a briefing room, which would really be a home cinema.
Briefing Room (1 cabin): A conference room with a table and up to 10 chairs.
Office (1): Contains a desk and display terminal for use by one or two administrators, analysts, etc. Useful for skills such as Administration, Computer Operation, Computer Programming, Intelligence Analysis, Market Analysis, or Strategy skill tasks. A habitat with 10 or more offices devoted to the same activity can be classed as an “ops center” with +1 bonus to these tasks, or a “large ops center” with +2 bonus if 100 or more.
One or two people to an office, up to 5 offices per shipping container. Two containers of dedicated offices make the ops center. But I doubt they'd devote 20 just to offices. Don't know though, what are people going to do with their days?
Really, can you fit a 10 seat meeting into the same space as a 2 person desk? I guess with the filing cabinets and space for a computer and more space that is not for a computer you can sprawl quite a lot in your own office. But it seems odd. More like the briefing should be 10 people with those chairs as have a paper rest mini desk on them, that fits much tighter. 10 person lecture theatre with a desk up the front. Compact.
Establishment (2 cabins): A facility such as a bar, brothel, casino, gym, massage parlor, nursery, salon, classroom, or retail store. Each has standing or seating room for up to 20 patrons, usually manned by one to three staffers.
... I like how it goes through bar, brothel and casino loooong before it gets to nursery, classroom or shops.
Even somewhere that doesn't sell things for money would need a room that distributes things, like a shop in the ordering and collecting ways. So maybe Establishment could also be where you get uniforms and supplies?

Everyone needs a bunk
