[0.18.8.0] Modular Kitchen Counter (Sink) interaction missing when Locked

Hey! I noticed today that when I lock my Kitchen Sink, I can’t interact with it anymore.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place Modular Kitchen Counter (Sink)
  2. Lock the item
  3. Attempt to fill the sink

What I expected to happen

The sink should be interactable when the item is locked.

What happened

The sink’s interaction went missing after locking the item.

If this behavior isn’t intentional and it gets fixed, I hope we still get an option to disable the interactivity. I personally need it in my builds.

I can also confirm this. It also happens with the Modern Bathroom Sink too (I think that’s what it’s called).

This is intentional behaviour. The idea is that you can lock the sink in a specific state and not have to worry about condo guests messing with it.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that.

Seems confusing and unintuive since the same doesn’t work with other items such as doors. Those have a lock in the edit menu instead.

Yeah this is exactly why I was confused, I can’t think of any other interactable item that turns off when you lock it.

Some items have properties that allow you to turn off interactions, for example beds can disallow sleeping. I feel like that’s a much better option for this >_<

Thanks for clearing this up! Sorry I didn’t understand the intention.

It would be nice if the team could consider interactable items having the option to be interacted with on / off in the properties, I think it would be a very welcome change!

I was working on adding an interaction setting to all interactive items that allow you to set who can use it: Everyone, Admins/Permission, None. I’ve been too busy with other aspects of the game sadly to finish it.
