[Name Lips]

I made an office for my manager. I installed a table and two chairs, imagining that he'd have meetings there with important people. I designated the Study off one of the chairs, making sure it filled up the entire room, and assigned it to the manager.

But even though it's not a dining room, other dwarves will freely wander in there with their food, sit down in the unassigned chair, and eat their food. They leave bones and seeds all over their manager's office!

I think that's normal. They don't use the nobles' chair. They just use unused objects which happen to be in the nobles' office. Viva la revolucion!

I wonder if it will be possible to make keys and locked doors in the future. Assign a door to a dwarf and only he will be able to open it - this would solve so many problems with hauling issues as well. NO, I don't WANT this exploratory tunnel cleared of stone, thanks.

While keys could make it in at some point, simply emulating "bio scanners" in doors same way it's done for workshops could do it better. A more elaborate interface would be required for that, and the already-glitchy pathing will see even more obstacles to its workings.

Being able to press [P] on a door to assign it like a workshop would do the trick nicely. Then only the dwarves you specifically allow would be able to access that door. It's not like forbidden workshops and such are actually locked, either. You're just telling certain dwarves not to use them; no keys needed.

that's an extremely excelent idea re: giving doors ownership.
