Constructing wooden floors in my dining room without removing my tables/chairs?
« on: March 30, 2010, 05:00:23 pm »
So I've decided to floor the entire dining room in oak as well as use oak tables and chairs, because it pisses off the elves.

Any way I can floor the areas under my tables and chairs without deconstructing them?

P.S. I fully intend to have this be the room I force elven traders to walk through.

Pretty sure the answer on this is no.

 Doesn't matter much. Its pretty easy to deconstruct and construct chairs and tables.

Deconstruct doesn't destroy the table or chair. Just create a stockpile near the room for tables/chairs, and do them one by one.

Of course the best way to avoid this is to plan ahead, build the wood floor first then place the wood furniture. When you're done with the floor and if you have enough wood you should mine out the walls and construct wooden ones.  ;D

Yeah, "deconstructing" a piece of furniture just consists of a dwarf walking over to it, poking it with a finger, and going "this table can now no longer be used and must be "rebuilt" somewhere else". Sadly, furniture items are held together by super glue or something, because once a bed or other piece of furniture has been constructed, it cannot be taken apart for raw materials, ever.

An even more annoying, and somehow related, mechanism is that when you deconstruct a wall or something and the log or stone that built it lands on a fortification below, you seem to have to demolish that fortification to get the log or stone out.

Aye, I've found that to be bloody annoying myself. I put it down to dwarfs having stubby arms so they can't reach into the gap in the fortifications to grab the object :p
