What the etiquette on grinders in forges 12/03/2015 07:11 PM CST

Someone was already in the room forging and I went into use the grinder and this person had a bit of a hissy fit. My using the grinder doesn't interfere with anyone else using anything in that room or does it. Anyone?

I'm inclined to simply tell them to sod off, personally.

You using a grinder in no way impacts their using the anvil.

Using a grindstone not only doesn't bother anyone using the anvil, but any number of people can use the grindstone at once.

If I had to guess it was probably disrupting their script since I know a number of the popular ones for Genie check to see if someone is in the room and switch rooms if so.

Ignore them. I've had to educate several people that using a grinder in "their room" does not affect them in any way.

Aren't these technically communal rooms anyways? As a point I like to do my carvings alone but I've shared rooms with other people before, even leaving the room to let them know they are welcome to join.

Kind of? A lot of the stationary tools in societies can only be used by one person at a time. Grinders are an exception to this but generally speaking the rooms aren't meant to accommodate more than one person actively crafting at a time. I think that's a shame since I do love crafting with company but I suppose it might be annoying to try and set up multiples to a room. And that's part of why scripts tend to check to see if anyone's already in the room.

Easy to fix. Red Grinder, Blue Grinder, Green grinder. red anvil blue anvil green anvil. There, now people can adjust their script to the anvil they are using. I have just solved all the problems. :D

Three stations sounds potentially very spammy. Maybe two would be less terrible.

Your search-fu is pig dung!

We've discovered that it's impossible (at least currently) to have more than one forge working in the same room. You can't even temper and mix metals at the same time because it doesn't understand which one is triggering the random problem (bellows, shovel, etc).
