[39b] Workshops made from hidden objects are invisible
« on: July 16, 2008, 09:41:49 pm »

If I mark an object, such as a piece of stone, "hidden" (by using the new [d]esignate feature), and that stone is later used to build a workshop, the workshop is invisible too.  I can still select the shop using [q], and it functions normally via mandates/automated jobs/etc., but I don't see it displayed on the map.

Obviously the "hidden" designation is carrying over to the building made from the hidden material, which doesn't seem to be The Right Thing.

Once built, here doesn't seem to be any way to mark the workshop as un-hidden, short of tearing it down.  Or maybe I'm just missing some obscure feature of the Stocks screen; I'm a fairly new player ;)

If you hit the "t" key to display the contents of a building, the materials used to make the building are in that list. Once there, hit the enter key to select the material(s) with "B" to the right of their name; That'll give you the item description screen for that material. Once there, hit "h" to un-hide or hide it. The building will reappear or disappear based on the hide setting of it's construction material. So it's not really a bug, just not particularly obvious. Hope this helped.

have you tried using the D menu options? you can hide or unhide buildings if you select the whole thing at once.

It should probably remove the flag in this case.  I'll note it down.

Okay, this should be handled for next time.
