Why not add activation links to housing usable objects?

Trundik

Hello. I have 3 furniture items which could be nice to connect between them in that manner: if i activate primary one, rest two bounded to parent object may activate automatically. I could make single composite machine from 3 usable parts (one with lever, second - interractable lamp with red crystal, third with engine sound (frog-caller). I think it isn't hard to code. Links between items already present in game. What you need to do - just share activation trigger to all connected objects from primary.

Could be nice addition to High Isle.

Interesting idea. For one it would be nice to be able to turn on or off all lighting. The only real issue is how to handle the UI.

I think it could be made even without any change to UI.

If you don't wont this result, you can prevent it manually by deattaching such items. This is most simple realisation, but it is so huge even in this variant as first step on the Moon surface.
