Standing animals & sitting dwarves
« on: October 06, 2006, 12:56:00 am »

This one's a simple suggestion. Relatively. It makes little sense for a dwarf to lay down while building a chair simply because a dog happened to follow him into the carpenter's shop. Or for him to drop to the ground while mining because a horse wandered by. If dwarves always took standing priority in a square, it could make life easier for my poor sla-- workers.

"Oh shit, Reg, a bunch of horses are coming this way. Get on the fucking ground!"

Yeah, it doesn't even sound safe to lay down under a passing horse. But I really doubt a horse would just lay down or crawl past any dwarves either. Realistically it would just get confused and turn around or something like that.

Perhaps prevent animals from entering the same square as a working dwarf? Or perhaps, prevent them from entering workshops?

Put your workshops past pet-proof doors. Of course pet-proof doors don't work particularly well long-term.

Actually making doors pet-proof "ONE WAY" would be awesome. Meaning that if they happen to wander in by accident while the door is still open, they can still get out on their own.

Indeed.  I tried that with my dining hall and I ended up with a worse situation than had I not done it and more quickly.
