Room assigned to roles instead of people
« on: September 04, 2010, 03:33:26 pm »

Hi, I'm kinda new. I toyed a lot with the previous version, but I never played seriously. I'm trying better with 2010 version.

I was wondering... is there a way to mod the game so that I can assign a room to a given role instead of giving it to the dwarf that is covering that role?

I mean, something like "the official mayor (or broker, sheriff, etc) residence", so that every dwarf that will become mayor in the history of my fortress will automatically live there instead of being forced to manually assign the rooms every time someone new is elected. You know, like a dwarven 10 Downing Street.

Yeah, I imagined this. I was hesitant between this section and the suggestion section. At the end I posted here because I hoped that there was a way to have this funcion in my current game.
If someone else is interested in this I'll post in the suggestion section.

hmmm... I wonder.... it actually MIGHT be possible...

Is there some duty you could enable for JUST the Mayors and such? If so, there might be a way to make workshops that allow sleeping inside them only for certain people or something.... I mean, a bed is a built item right? So there MIGHT be a way to make one JUST for the mayor and such... not positive on this front, but it might work for other more general professions.

The only thing we can do with workshops right now is create reactions for them. We don't have any control over anything else, not more advanced uses of workshops, nor how furniture itself is handled.

I think Toady had that feature on the backburner. As in I heard him mention it in a DF talk.

We'll see it eventually but probably not too soon.

Make dorms and burrows. Burrows can probably semi do what you're looking for.
