Hello,

I am curious, is it possible to utilize the “snippets-infrastructure” on furniture as well?

Specifically, I was thinking about a graveyard with tombstones, which should have “random” descriptions on them.

No. snippets is item stuff, and applies only to items.

However, you could use the signage / cosmetics infrastructure for this. See the initial PR [[DONE - REVIEW] Signs by jeremyosborne · Pull Request #7952 · CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA · GitHub](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/7952) - it probably needs some further special cases for other furniture, it currently checks the [tt]f\_sign[/tt].

Hm, will it be enough to change only the iexamine thingy to also work on tombstones?

I also see a specific reference to signs in the mapgen.cpp, I’m afraid.

Thanks a lot for posting the PR though, BevapDin!
