A table | + | A '''table''' is a piece of [[furniture]] necessary for [[dwarf|dwarves]] to eat [[food]] in comfort. Tables can be made from a wide variety of materials, including [[wood]], [[stone]], [[metal]], and [[glass]]. A table can be used to define a [[dining room]], serve as an operating surface in a [[hospital]], and be assembled into a [[traction bench]]. Dwarves dislike eating at a table without a [[chair]] and also prefer not to share their table or chair with others. |
− | + | Dwarves primarily use tables to eat [[food]], avoiding the negative [[thought]] for eating without a proper table. Each table should be paired with an adjacent [[chair]] such that no table adjoins two chairs and no chair adjoins two tables. Avoid placing tables without chairs (and chairs without tables) as your dwarves will experience a negative thought if they dine in such an arrangement. | |
− | + | An unassigned [[dining room]] designated from a table will be used by any dwarves without an assigned dining room, resulting in positive [[thought]]s scaled to the [[Room#Quality|quality]] of the dining room. Creating a high-value dining room is one of the easiest ways to keep your dwarves happy. Note, however, that dwarves with a table (or chair) in their [[quarters]] may opt to eat there instead, so it is generally best to only install tables in your nobles' quarters. | |
− | + | In a [[hospital]] zone, tables can be used during [[surgery]] as an operating surface. For this purpose, tables should be installed directly adjacent to hospital [[bed]]s due to a bug canceling surgery if the patient moves more than one tile.{{bug|2773}} | |

Tables are also used as an input, along with [[mechanism]] and [[rope]]s, at the [[Mechanic's workshop]] to make a [[traction bench]]. With three quality-rated items in a single tile, a traction bench can be a good way of rapidly increasing the value of a room, although it won't actually be used unless installed in a designated [[hospital]]. | Tables are also used as an input, along with [[mechanism]] and [[rope]]s, at the [[Mechanic's workshop]] to make a [[traction bench]].
