Building Feature!
« on: October 12, 2009, 02:11:36 pm »
Maybe everybody else has already figured this out, and forgive me if you have, but I just realized something by accident while building some walls.  You know how when you go to build walls/floors/etc. it'll tell you how many building materials you need and give you a list of all available materials so you can go down and pick them out?  Well, if you want to build all from the same material, you can just hit Shift+Enter and it'll select that material for the whole job!  This is great for when you're building a huge 100-tile floor section or just long walls.  I can't believe I didn't notice this sooner!  It's going to save me lots of boring keystrokes.

Wow! That's so awesome, Toady went back in time and added a label to the item selecting screen so that everyone will know about this!

Haha!  I have perception fail, apparently.  Good thing I make typos!

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Don't feel too bad.  At one point that wasn't an option, so it may just be that you missed it when it went in.

There's so much stuff in the game that missing something obvious is something I think we've all done at some point.
