minor suggestion: default indoor burrow
« on: May 25, 2011, 07:16:07 pm »
Sorry if this has been made before, I couldn't find it with my simple search.

Could there be a default burrow at embark that contains only and all tiles marked as indoor? This would be much faster than each user designating this indoor burrow at the start, and for maps with complex hills and such, significantly easier to code than draw.

You want the 40d "Dwarves stay indoors" button. WHile I like the versatility of the burrows, its only in theory. Since I can't make a burrow-residents-only stockpile, I find burrows useless 9 times out of 10.

Nice one, not sure when I'll be feeling like killing a baby but these things are good to know.

This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

Not a button, just a starting burrow in the list. And yes, inspired by 40d.
