Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Nalien]

I imagine what they could do fairly inexpensively is allow players to save the layout local, even be able to share said layout (simple text document that holds all the position and item type info). That way there isn't really a limit to how many layouts you may save and they don't need to store an entire house worth of content multiple times lol (not saying they can't).

The thing is we'd need a system that places items automatically based off that data, and I don't think XIV is built for that. Plus there's the matter of where the furniture placed comes from? I imagine it would take from storage/player inventory, but you've still got issues if pieces are missing... Does it cancel placing everything? Place what it can? What if a table top item is there, but the table it should be on isn't? How would glitches work with such a system? It shouldn't technically be able to place things there...

Definitely something I'd like to hear the devs opinion on though, it would be a great feature I think, and now that you mention it... Local text documents would be great, could have some interesting utility for sharing builds... Still, we've yet to get the door and balcony of mansions opened up, so I wont be holding my breath on something that seems far more complex...
