flip furniture whilst in battle to offer extra protection

[iareBirdie]

so i was playing some rimworld the other day and i was thinking:
"does furniture offer any protection at all?"
and
"i want to flip tables  (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) like in action movies to get some defence bonus against small caliber weapons(pretty sure you can shoot trough tables with rifles and such and i just had to add that meme because im a meme-scrub"
and then
"omg im so going to request this thing in the forums"

and now im hoping "please dont remove this post for braking one rule this one time(if i did im sorry i'll try not to again)"

with love(and some bullets shot at you)

Sure, stone furniture could probably provide some cover. Wood and metal would just be concealment though, but even that would reduce enemy accuracy.

Looks good on movies, would look very repetitive in Rimworld.

Several small additions to combat over time will slowly make it more varied and interesting.

Depends on the guns actually. Old school guns wood worked they were not very amazing pen of weapons and some of use improvised weapons for el cheapo versions of guns to even it out. Granted that with CE makes the two barrel pipe shotgun insanely lethal when your tribal and got bows and some one runs up close and fires both barrels its really bad for you colony, so I am half tempted to turn that off... But thoese guns have reduced stats on purpose.

But yeah it would be more for stone but who doesn't use a stone table in long haul? I hate wood it burns, plus stone is prettier in my dinning haul even granite the best hp material you can get for stone is prettier so I tend to just pick a high granite map and do everything in that, takes longer but makes it easier to seal a room and molativ it when you get infestations, and helps in those early days when they breach your building as you find your self using them for cover.
