First: I love the ability to now lay out "fields" of construction.

Second: It would be far, far more useful if you could designate a "hollow" field, like so:

Code: [Select]

XXXXX
X   X
X C X
X   X
XXXXX
(The C is not a tile, but is where the cursor is centered.)

I'd think it to be pretty useful.

Why not just designate four different regions (wall/wall/wall/wall), rather than cluttering the menu with more options?

Because it could easily be an on/off toggle and save a good number of keystrokes?

lol

well, it might be worthwile as an on/off toggle, but "saving a good number of keystrokes" seems trivial after the old way of building walls. Of course, my opinion may change once I am spoiled rotten by the new system.

I'm a programmer and an efficiency hound.

two actions
1 designate one solid block of the proper size
2 de-designate the center

almost as easy and already there

but yours' isn't a horrible suggestion

That's what I do. It's just a little slow.

I'd like this idea, most of my forts are above ground and anything to make constructions more efficient would be wonderful.

Edit:Also note, the walls in the center wouldn't be build due to the wall designations surrounding them. Still, they'd need to be removed at some point.
