Suggestion on the constructed wall
Digger:
Make it the same as the usual smoothed wall -> less stuff for the game to track -> faster game -> more happy dwarves :)[ February 26, 2008: Message edited by: Digger ]Actually the same could be applied to the constructed floors and ramps[ February 26, 2008: Message edited by: Digger ]
Captain Mayday:
it isn't the same, though.
baby_peacock:
I'm sure the suggestion has come up before, but it's still a good one.It frustrates me to no end that I can't engrave constructed walls and
floors.When I engrave walls, I always do it to an entire room to get a uniform
appearance. But it often happens that when I dig out a room, there is
valuable ore, gems or just a fleck of odd-colored mineral along the
walls, in which case I want to mine it and then reconstruct the wall
using the same rock that the rest of the room is made of. But then I
can't engrave it, so I'm stuck with either having that part of the room
in a different color, or without engravings!
Jamini:
To baby-peacock: Constructed walls CAN be "engraved" if they are built on a previously engraved surface. If you don't mind having a slightly larger-than-average room and waiting for the floor to be both smoothed and engraved than it's perfectly possible to have completely uniform rooms as long as you build on a non-constructed rock surface.To Digger: I doubt that changing constructed walls would affect FPS much in the long run. Besides, tearing down constructions is a totally different action than building (one that both children and nobles will take part in, I might add). The biggest drain on game speed is probably path finding and flows, followed by excessive amounts of unused stone and items.
