Thread: What is the main function of furniture?
Almost 90% of the furniture is without function, except for seats and stuff like that. I cant even place a table-top lamp on the tables top, it just fells to the ground.
So how about adding some function to the rest of the furniture, like:
Armoire, Bookcase, Chest and stuff like that adds more space to the house, so I can place more stuff in it.
The main purpose of lamps is light up something. How about adding this function to it?
There is this beautiful loveseat that comes with furniture3. Why not sit on it, they way it is supposed to sit on it? Same goes for all beds.
What is the function of a large couch, when I still can sit on it only with one person?
Here is my favorite one. What kind of data do the data-terminals need, to become usefull. Currently, the only reason to get a data-terminal is to use up the new limited space inside houses. How about adding some function to it like: Showing harv data/status.
What can I make with a "Use Bank" option on the Ballot Box Terminals? Was it ever supposed to have a bank option?
Okay the last one, although it is not a furniture. But has to do with houses as well. Why did you nerf backpacks used inside a house? So after every newbie gets a backpack, all backpack carfters are out of buisness. Since I wont need one inside my house, except for only gather items in it, to not let it stay arround in the house.

Well, you _can_ place tabletop stuff, you just need stairs in your house. You drop the item on the stairs at the level you want, then use /move to get it to where you want it. However, this is a screwed-up work-around. They should have a /height command like the /move command.

And you can't move things through doors, so the stairs have to be in the same room.
I doubt they will make chests, cabinets, etc. 'storable' containers soon. Many of the bad ideas included in this game have to do with precious, "expensive"database space.
I would guess that the data terminals will be used as a component in some sort of Urban Planner schematics, such as mission terminals, bank terminals, and bazaar terminals. Just a guess, though.
The non-lighting light thing is just silly, and just one more example of the coders' sloppiness.
