Stack Furnace Tweak

Postby Jackwolf » Fri Apr 09, 2021 7:13 am

Can the stack furnace be altered some with how it snaps to grid? It seems to be really common for people to build it 1 tile away from a wall or building, with the opening for it to be pointing toward the open side, as it aesthetically makes sense.

If having the way it snaps-to-grid altered is untenable could we maybe see about having the bellows rotated 90 degrees, to be on the side? I think this'll help with people having it built improperly.



Normally I'd think this is a very small issue in the grand scheme of things but I've seen three hermitages do this, myself, and a few people in discord.

-1, use your brain. you don't need spatial clearance to grab things from a box, you do need spatial clearance to occupy the bellows.

Except that isn't made clear, especially if you give it a 3x3 area it looks like it would be more than enough space.

Going to have to agree with opening on this one. I believe there's another workstation or two that also require a clear space to approach to use them, but most you can walk up to from any side and you just go to using them. It's unintuitive when compared to other stations in the game.
