We tested it, and it isn't worth it. On the real 266-beaver colony we replayed, letting homes change their number of adults shortened the average commute by only about 4% (24.0 to 23.1). But homes able to have a baby fell from 11 to 1, and keeping those baby beds free erased the gain.
-So every home keeps its adult count, and empty beds are left for the game and for babies. That was one colony with a straight-line stand-in for route cost, so others will differ.
+Yes. An adult moves into an empty bed when that shortens the colony's total walk, so a home's number of adults can change.
+It takes only adult beds: the game keeps a third of each home's beds for kits. A move is turned down if it would leave fewer homes able to have a kit.
It's built not to. Every home keeps the same number of adults and children never move, so each home keeps the same free beds and the same chance of a birth. Only which adults live there changes.
+It's built to protect it. Children never move, and adults never take a kit's bed. A move is turned down if it would leave fewer homes able to have a kit: the game needs two adults, a free bed and room for another child.
Both have thousands of subscribers and far more real-world mileage; this one is newer. The comparison on the home page has one replay's numbers.

A Timberborn 1.1 mod. Once a day, it moves adult beavers into the homes that make the colony's total walk to work as short as it can be. Beds are limited, so not everyone lives next door to work. Together, they walk the least.

Each district is solved exactly with the Hungarian algorithm. The colony's total commute is the smallest the rules allow.
Homes are priced with the game's own route cost, so stairs, platforms and ziplines count. Each workplace checks real routes to the 32 nearest homes in its district.
Every home keeps exactly the same number of adults, and children never move. Beds for babies stay where they are.
Children never move. Adults take only adult beds, and a move is turned down if it would leave fewer homes able to have a kit.
Beavers move only when the rearrangement saves at least one route-cost unit for each beaver moved. Once a colony is arranged, another pass changes nothing.
The work is spread over many ticks, a little at a time, so there is no long freeze. A large colony does more per tick to finish within the daytime; only the very largest take longer.
Every player's game should make the same moves, even across a save, a reload or a mid-pass join. What has been played
Every housed adult beaver, its home and its assigned workplace, in one quick snapshot.

Real route costs from each workplace to its 32 nearest homes in its district. Farther homes are estimated.
The best way to reassign the adults to the beds adults use today, one district at a time.
Every proposed move is priced again with fresh routes. A cycle of moves is dropped if it would cut a beaver off from work, or if it saves too little.
Whole cycles of moves are applied in a single tick, and rolled back if the game refuses any of them.

That's expected on the first pass of a badly housed colony. Children never move, so a child may end up living with different adults; breeding is untouched. Later passes move only a few beavers.
