Title: Reinstallable Tables
Post by: milon on May 19, 2016, 10:23:17 AM
All Production tables should be able to be uninstalled/reinstalled just like furniture.

Agreed +1

Also the bills should remain or at least be able to copy and paste them.

Yealp agreed.

The bill copy and paste was at some mod from A12, remeber that I installed it.

I know Rimworld is a "harsh management game" but doing so would encourage to use all "specific-room" features, and what say "easier game" also mean "GREAT ! Let's balance it to be HARDER !".

Within reason of course. Seriously : we can hardly waste the resources to relocate Production Table at first. So it would encourage creativity.

Yeah.  Reorganizing stuff is part of what's fun about the game.  I wonder if static tables are intentional though, kind of like, this is how you decided to start, you're stuck with it unless you want to do an expensive overhaul.  I can see why that's cool as well.

I think it'd be best to associate a very small resource cost to moving "emplaced" items (in addition to labor time of course).  Nails get bent, bolts get stripped, gotta redo the wiring on electrical appliances, etc.  That's more materially expensive than pushing a bed across a room, but should still be cheaper than building a whole new stove from raw pig iron.

Also a small cost would reinforce the existing idiom of making you think about where you're putting things, without being quite so punishing of renovations.

I have to agree with zombra.

Renovating a kitchen and moving machinery around at work always seems to atleast tear up some of the floor, damage the wall, or damage whatever you are moving. I wouldn't mind having to replace a floor tile or repairing the table (which really should cost something more than time). Also uninstall/reinstall times should be longer than other items

Also to add to this, I think coolers and heaters should be able to be uninstalled and reinstalled as well. I can see the coolers having a longer uninstall time than a bed (Window units are a pain!) but less than what would be production tables (I mean really have you ever even moved a machining table by yourself!?!?).
Heaters would have un/reinstall times pretty much the same as a lamp.
