Larger Activity Zones
« on: August 13, 2016, 09:00:20 pm »

So, I built a massive tavern, because sometimes I like to build huge things for the sake of making huge things.

Then I realized that there was no way to properly designate the entire tavern (I want to say it's something like 24x40 urists?) because the designation zone stops at a certain scale (20x20 or so?)

Is there a reasno for this hindrance, or any way I could mod around it?

For now you can build it in chunks and assign them all as the tavern. Doesn't make much difference to your dorfs (and you can add unconnected bits if you need to).

That would work. Can you assign each chunk to the same tavern?

Yes. That way you get quite complex, multi-level structures which all function as a single tavern.

Exactly what I was envisioning! Grand!

I believe if you instead designate a dining hall from a table closer to the center, you can get the zone to expand 30 tiles in all directions, allowing a maximum 61x61 area size. However I don't think work arounds like this should be necessary just to designate a whole space as one thing, so I still think this is a good suggestion.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.
