An office that dosent OFF.
« on: December 31, 2008, 07:47:43 pm »

Well, it doesn't exist. It will not let me make offices at all. Neither chair nor table can be assigned to be an office. the option is not there.

Well treat me like the disease like the rats and the fleas, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Well treat me like the sea oh so salty and mean, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Let's shake hands if you want but soon both hands are gone, A-ha-ha!
Cut me down like a tree like the lumber or weeds, well discard who you please like the leaves off a tree. Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath. Give me forced health till I wish death on myself. Ah! Ha! Ha!
March on! March on! March on! March on! MARCH ON!

Are you sure you're doing it right?

You have to build the chair in the room, then press [q] and go to the chair, and define the room, then assign it. Similar to how you make bedrooms using beds.

My flow chart for easy awesomeness

Conglomerate throne > make throne room or study > size room > assign chair > names
                                                                                        resize room > back to step 3
                                                                                       free chair > back to step 1

Quote from: DEH WIKI
Offices are rooms required by certain nobles and administrators. They can be designated from a throne or chair.

If you assign an office to a dwarf, sometimes he will eat a meal in his office and complain about the lack of tables. You may wish to assign that dwarf his own dining room as well to avoid this thought. Alternatively just put a table next to the chair in said office.

Holding meetings in a bedroom also results in a negative thought, so put the office in a separate room to the bed for nobles who will be conducting meetings.

If you put a table next to the office chair and assign it to be a dining room, both rooms will be used like they are supposed to. However, overlapping rooms tend to drop in value, making it harder to meet demands by higher ranking nobles.


As you can see, not much help at all. Just brings me back to step one

A throne room/study is, in fact, an office. Kind of unclear, but it is.
