Separating bags and coffers/chests.
« on: March 01, 2008, 07:21:00 pm »
Pretty easy request.  When building bedrooms it's kind of annoying to sort through all the empty bags I keep for sand to find the coffers/chests I want in bedrooms.

Oh yes, yes.  Also, bags as very expensive chests is just weird.

Why would anyone want to "build" a bag anywhere anyway?

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

IRL, you wouldn't.

IDF, because a no-frills rope reed bag is a chest worth $60 while a =felsite coffer= is only worth $50.  A good-quality GCS silk bag can be worth thousands.

Note: I'm not against people using bags as chests/coffers in rooms.  Diversity is what makes DF so damn good.  Just a menu option to separate the two would be nice.

Actually, if you want a stockpile with only bags or only boxes, you can use the material menu to seperate them... You cannot make a "Bag" out of stone or glass or non-adamantine metal, nor can you make a box out of silk or leather, or plant fiber.
