Furnishing suggestion: Clockwork benches and better actor boxes

Salvas_Aren · January 2020

Hi, I would like to point out the following shortcomings of the clockwork benches and workbenches in general:

There are no full outfitting station and jewelry station in clockwork/Sotha Sil style.
It is absolutely pointless to have a pedal powered woodturning lathe on a clockwork bench, especially when the workpiece in there is made of brass. Same is true for a workbench having dogholes and drawers in the same place.
It would be nice if workbenches in general would have actor boxes that do not get deactivated when putting things on them. It would allow us a higher degree of customization of functional benches if we could place bigger items on the surfaces, like a stool on a woodworking bench or a large fish on the Elsweyr grill.

Thanks for reading.

Yeah.

I haven't used the Clockwork benches, personally, but it is disappointing that you can't place things on the workstations if you want them to still work.

Seems ridiculous that placing a fish on the grill, or a cotton reel on a clothing station, would make them unusable.

In the case of the former, I just have to place two grills side by side, or back to back, and only put stuff on one of them:
