    Self explanatory. I think it would be a great addition to the game to actually be able to sit in chairs/couches/toilets or even lay down in bed. Its the little things that count ;) What do you guys think?

    Certainly falls under "why not?" instead of a "why?" thing, so...

    why not?

    In general, it would be pretty nice to see furniture being usable, by both players and NPCs. Maybe give NPCs additional uses for furniture, like take a book from the shelves and sit down and read it, take a nap on the couch, watch some TV, make dinner, to give them more dynamic behavior, rather than just walk from A to B, then back again, and repeat.

    I like this! And you should be able to sit on clear ground too! I want to have a Pow-Wow with my planetmates :DD

    Yea that would definately add immersion. I would love to see the npc's wandering around fooling with terminals etc.

    Oh, this reminds me of Fallout New Vegas - Old World Blues. One of the "Brains In Jars" keeps giving you scrap electronics he "discovered" while messing with a terminal. (He does admit, he broke it and wants to get rid of the scrap that fell out.) - Now, seeing some random NPC in Starbound walk over and tamper with a terminal, only to see it short circuit, making a mess, NPC panicking, tries to hide the mess that was made.

    Oh I remember that! Don't even get me started on Fallout...had a blast playing both of them :up:
    But yea small additions like that are really worth the time to implement imo. Especially when most games these days lack so much of those small (but important) details.

    I think this would be a sweet thing to have in Starbound, if not for uses like taking a nap in a couch, it would be great for those role-playing moments, for the fun factor. Sitting down and reading is cool too, I like that idea. :ssssssssss:

    Please god yes. We need an indie game in which you can actually interact with furniture. :DD

    Amazing, just amazing.
     
  11. I'm a fan of this too. I can't see using it myself but I would love to see NPC's making themselves busy instead of wandering around into enemies and OPENING ALL MY FREAKIN' DOORS!

    Also it'd be cool for Director Mode.

    I do remember seeing sprites for that. The team is going all out as it is so I'm fairly certain we will be able to sit. Now if the npc's can sit, sleep, & interact with various backround objects I'd be a happy man ;)

    I can think of a few neat features associated with seats/counters/desks. Perhaps containers, crafting tables, and the players inventory pop up along the outer edges of the players screen when using the furniture? You could establish a workbench, with a supplies crate, and a welder all around a chair and table. This would allow engaging aesthetics that actually have a use! I can imagine having two or three such stations in a few rooms so I can organize my bases crafting stations, storage, and themed vanity items.

    If you interact with furniture, that would be awesome, I wanted it in Terraria but it never happened. :koala:

    If you could interact with certain objects, like we've seen with the beds, that would be a great thing to have, it would add more of a homely style so I don't have to constantly jump on chairs to look like I'm sitting down on a chair.
