Long Tables
« on: March 29, 2014, 09:01:55 pm »

What if you could have carpenters build large tables in the same way that bridges/etc are constructed? You would map out the size of it ahead of time (reasonable sizes like 3x3, 1x X, 2x X,etc) and the carpenters would bring the logs to the site and build it there. This way you could have grander looking dining halls) you could have every tile in the table function as an independent dining area, so crowds of dwarves would all sit at the same table. Could also do it with stone and metal and their respective practitioners as well.

I just put many tables together.. if your suspension of disbelief needs them as one object though,  in the future such things may be in the raws, although i expect you'd have to have separate objects named "1x1 table" "2x1 table" etc

I think it would be a nice addition if we can place multiple tables down at once, the same way we would resize bridges or walls, just for the sake of easier construction.
The enlarged table could then be viewed as a single entity, for the sake of easier deconstruction.

I currently just put a bunch of tables in a line, it serves fine, i just figure the long table idea would achieve the aesthetic effect that a bunch of single tables grouped together doesn't
