My room doesn't count as a room

[UltimateTrash]

I have done plenty of research on how this all works, but can't seem to turn it into a room. I have a door sectioning it off, with the chiseling on my door frame all removed. I have replaced my windows with planks because my windows were too slim. I have tried blocking off my doors and the stair case up to my cellar and neither have worked. All of my wattle and daub walls say they are insulated (one wasn't, I fixed it.) and i chiseled the ceiling that's made out of debarked pine logs and pine planks back to at least above halfway. I also removed the water source I had because I heard that did something. Despite all of this, I have found no change.

I created a test room, a 3x3x2 (2 tall) and basically recreated the room in mini form. the walls work fine, the floor works fine, the roof works fine. Even the glass, which i expanded a little, still counts it as a room. I tested the 3 by 2 gates that I had in the original and it worked. I also tried the slim door frame, which also worked. I originally made the walls out of pine for the test room, but switched them for wattle and daub, chiseling them the exact same and it worked.

I have calculated it and the room is 7*8*9 (including the extra height up to the cellar). One thing to note is that the cellar is completely fine and has no issues.

I've got images to show how it looks. The room, the cellar, the outside and the test room.

Trying to insulate a house with chiseled blocks can be very finicky, I fully understand your frustration. 

I've found that generally any chiseled block that's thinner than a slab, will not insulate properly, even if the block info says the block is insulating. 

Something like what I have circled here makes alarm bells ring in my head, if this door faces the outside and there's nothing behind that chiseled block, it could be the culprit (or one of them) check around for thin blocks like this and try replacing them with slabs or full blocks, or alternatively add some block/slab to the exterior.

The big problem with this is that on this test room, this mini gap worked fine and my hunger went back to 100%. I think i'll simply replace all the chiselled walls on the outside of the room i had problems with and see what that does for me. Its good to know that "insulating wall" can be unreliable, will update if anything works

So i unchiseled the chiseled wall and re-chiseled it.

Each block must have no less than 50% of it's chisellable voxels to be truly insulating.   Basically keep from chiselling a block to less than a slab.

Adding to this, I would also make sure that the blocks composing the main structure have their interior sides flush with each other. That is, if you're going to be chiseling outside, don't cut away more than slab thickness, and when chiseling the interior it's probably better to add an "overlay" block layer and chisel that, instead of the blocks actually comprising the main structure itself.
