I have a mayor who has managed to remain elected for 3 terms now. I think he's the dwarf version of senato kennedy...

Regardless, he popped off a demand for an electrum door on his office.  I built him one. He does not acknowledge that it has been built.

How do I get him to accept that his demand has in fact been satisfied before he goes apeshit?

[Name Lips]

Try building it in a weird corner of his room, like fully "inside" as opposed to being a regular entryway door.

[wierd]

Ok.. apparently he is happy with a door to nowhere stuck to the side of his office.

Is this a known bug? He effectively has 2 electrum doors now... (I didn't get it in fast enough to avoid the bad thought, but at least he didn't go ballistic.)

I think it's because when you designate a room, it doesn't include the squares occupied by doors. So the doorway wasn't technically in a space designated as his room.

So, if I were to destroy the door in the doorway, and resize the room so that the room's floor stuck out into the doorway, then rebuilt the door, it would register?

He's demanding a door *in* his room, not *to* his room.  It's his electrum door, he doesn't want any common dwarves looking at it.

So, if I were to destroy the door in the doorway, and resize the room so that the room's floor stuck out into the doorway, then rebuilt the door, it would register?

That should work, yes.  The room will then be including part of the hallway, and the door will count as being inside the room.

I think so, yes.

Made me laugh so hard. Man I need to go to bed...

I think you can also set the door to be and "interior" door, or something like that, and room designations will no longer be blocked by it.

Dude, everyone has a door leading to nowhere for the sole purpose of admiration.

[Deus Machina]

Yes, set the door to 'interior' and resize the room.

The trouble with that is I somehow always manage to make rooms that start including parts of hallways by the time I have all the doors included.

My door leads to another door, which leads to an engraving of a door admiring a door.  If only I could get my artisans to emboss my doors with more doors.
