I'm wondering if Toady actually has this on his list, and how high this is. While DF is hugely more complicated than any other game, including Stonehearth, I don't see this taking more than a couple of weeks to implement, while the benefits (for both gameplay and future coding) are huge.

It's an interface feature. Most everybody here knows what priority those get. The improved zones in the next version should bring us a little closer, but who knows when we'll actually see it apply to workshops.

No, is not stupid, don't say that. I think it would be as difficult as Toady find it to be. That's it, since he's the only one working on the code no one else could really know.

However I can feel that since hospitals, and now taverns and temples (specially taverns and hospitals which do host complex interactions) are up, it would be relatively simple to do it.

Now, let's remember that, precisely Toady is the only one working on the code, and he works on it depending on whatever he feels like and how he sees fit. Thus even when something might look simpler (or even complex) to add to the game, is up to him to do it, whenever he wants, which might be anywhere in the future.

As for him applying this, yes, it is the plan on the long run. I don't have the quotes right now but if I recall right he stated that this would be the next step on workshops, current workshops being mere place holders. Regarding this, one can imagine once that's up, carpenter workshops would require assorted tools, nails, workbenches, chairs, tables, cabinets... and so on with each kind of workshop.

I would very much like to see how that works out, because we still know very little about how the taverns actually interface. Is it a crude "define this zone" like a pasture/hospital thing or is it more like a very special burrows? Only time will tell. As for the implementation, I think it would take some time because figuring out all the connections, ironing out all the kinks and polishing it all would be a huge buren for out precious Toady. But let's ask him what he thinks about that.



Hmm....

[LoneAccident of Axes]

This would be awesome.
I'm pretty much trying to do this with the current workshops and stockpiles, being able to design optimize workshops for their purpose would make things more interesting.
Instead of 20 masonry workshops that chew up space I could have a cell block, each cell containing a chair, a table and a chisel where migrant dwarfs spend their days in cramped conditions making bricks for the Kings Mausoleum. Or a single, massive armour foundry for that one legendary armourer.

You could then have workshops of different quality, giving dwarfs positive or negative thoughts about their working conditions, affecting their desire to join a guild or go on strike.

I added "The bedroom" and overall cleaned up a lot of junk and fixed some spelling errors and formating problems.

Im curious what the tavern update will bring, because if what I hope happens will happen, then it may also be possible to just set up a "shop" zone, not just a trading depot.

EDIT : Or, trading depots would be exclusively for bartering in bulk with other political entities, while shops may deal in more abstract notions of value and... I just really want to import a bulk of marble in one caravan and export all my turkeys...

[BadLemonsXI]

I would like to bring this back into the light seeing as we got the taverns update and as it may be the starting framework for replacing workshops with zones. I hope to hear more news on it.
I didn't want to made a new suggestion seeing as this one is already here and way more detailed.

[Heretic]

This suggestion is one of my favorites, but i think we have no chanse now,after the end of tavern update.

Probably not going to happen until the economy update.

[LordBaal]

I agree, this probably will be up once economy makes it's big come back.

O Great Toady,

In this time of want I pray to thee, O please heed the OTP.

Seeing this thread reminded my of an old thought I had some time ago when I found a very interesting, yet old thread in the forum

How many good ideas must be buried in the pages of past times, just because people stop posting in them
The forums have been going for a lot of years, and has had a constant influx of ideas over the years
Some of them are worth to be recovered, like this thread, and most arent.
But those that are will be forgotten unless someone spends a considerabel ammount of time exploring years old ideas
I don't know if that's right
There should be some kind of voting system to archive good enough ideas, so people, or even Toady, can spend bonus time on them
