Named levers
« on: February 08, 2008, 04:47:00 pm »
Okay, im sure someones already suggested this, but it sure would be nice to be able to name levers.

Right now i write up a little .txt file with a little chart & what the levers go to, but still sometimes i end up getting confused & pulling the wrong one.

It would be great if i could give the levers a name (just like you can give dwarves custom nicknames & profession names) so i would just have to go find the one that says what i need, & pull that one.

Isn't that antithetical to us?

Yea i searched for it... didnt find anything.. at least nothing with a straightforward title.

I confess that I didnt bother going though every subject from the 100's that came up from a search for "named + levers"

More than naming levers, naming buildings in general with the customization tool would be good, just like you can name dwarves.

I like one of the suggestions that came up in another of these threads.

Name a dwarf "Northern-eastern bridge", assign him to a coffin next to the lever and have him involved in an 'accident'.  :)

Could try using alternative words instead of the words you were going to use.
Labl e+ Lever
Lever (result #2)
Lever (result #4, should have come up in Label + Lever IMO)
Lever (result #10)
Naming + Lever (also: Lever result #15)

# of results returned for "lever": 20.
