Re: Best lay-out for cupboards
No idea on timberhouse, but I always line the west east and north on a mansion. I'm more for usabilty than anything else in this sense.

Re: Best lay-out for cupboards
It can be really annoying with a layout such as this one:

What you gain in space you lose in tons of time checking each cupboard to find whatever the hell you're looking for or to look for free space. I'd recommend just lining them up at the walls for ease of access unless you're extremely tight on space or unless you have a good memory and navigating skills in such a mess. This particular layout can be more "efficient" by putting two more cupboards at the center of the northeast wall and by putting two more at the southeast center. The west half could also gain one more cupboard in each row since there are 3 tiles on that side of the room insetad of 2. Then the cellar entrance could go on one of the two visible ground tiles at the southeast wall.

Re: Best lay-out for cupboards
I'd say put 6 cb's at the northern wall, 4 cb's at the western and eastern walls and put 6 cb's bunched up together in the middle...20 cb's total.Vraatjuh wrote:Whats the best lay-out to get max amount of cupboards in a room and offc being able to interact with all of em.

Cellar would be with a similar design, but you 1st place cb's at the western wall and then set rows so that they look vertically at the western wall (not sure how many I placed, but I'm sure I had the max amount possible while I used timber houses).

Re: Best lay-out for cupboards
If I counted right, completing the layout in my screenshot would give you 21 cupboards.

Oh wait, I thought that was the complete layout in the pic (didn't really read your post thoroughly
)

Re: Best lay-out for cupboards
Max I got in my cellar is 26, doing following:
X12345678
xxxxxxxxx
1x2345678
1xxxxxxxx
1x2345678
1xxxxxxxx
gives me 26 atm, where 123etc = amount of cupboards in a row and X is entrance and x is free space.
edit: pic
max at normal floor is 22, doing following:
1x23x4
1x23x4
1x23x4
1x23x4
1x23x4
1xxXx2
same symbols.

Re: Best lay-out for cupboards
What about that bottom-right corner? You can access the last one in the previous line by the previous path, so you can block it in the last row.Vraatjuh wrote:Max I got in my cellar is 26, doing following:
