Dojo QoL Improvements!

[(PSN)Dorian-Hawkmoon 267]

Pretty sure the contest has gone from being a contest, to DE picks a random dojo they like to display. Last "contest" 3 Moon clans entered on PS, none were displayed. Still no word from DE on whether this is a new rule, or what exactly the goal of this is.

I promise we look at every submission carefully. It really is a pleasure to see the hard work and creativity that goes into each Dojo. I think some rules from the contest outline need to be explained in more detail here to clear up any misunderstanding.

First, the contest outline Rules for Winners explain that winners "cannot change [their] Clan tier until after [their] Clan Dojo has been featured on the Star Chart" and that "Winners who disregard these rules while their Dojo is featured will have their Dojos removed from the Star Chart." The time between the winner announcement and being featured can be as long as three months. Clans who lower their Clan Tier after being announced as a winner during that time are not featured. A Moon Clan that reduces to a Storm Clan, for example, would unfortunately lose a featured spot because featuring that Dojo would not be fair to the Storm Clans whose Dojos were compared during the contest. I'm happy to say there have been very few cases of winners changing their Clan Tier in this way, but if you notice that a Moon Clan is announced as a winner in our official winner list but was not displayed, a tier change might have been a factor.

Secondly, the contest outline Rules for Submissions explains, "Please keep in mind that Clans that have never been Featured are given priority." Ghost, Shadow, and Storm Clans are by far the most submitted to Featured Dojo contests. Overall, throughout the course of Featured Dojo contests, we have seen 730 Ghost Clans entries and 138 Moon Clan entries. To account for the difference, we sometimes give a Moon Clan spot to a smaller Clan if the submitted Moon Clans have already been featured in the past while the smaller Clans have not. For the most recent Autumn 2020 Featured Dojo Contest, for example, 3 PS4 Moon Clans submitted while 14 PS4 Ghost Clans submitted. This change came into effect with the addition of Nintendo Switch Dojos and was explained during the Winter 2020 Feautred Dojo Contest winner announcement.

I hope this helps clarify. I'll make sure to review the rules as they appear in our contest outline to explain in more detail for the upcoming Winter 2021 Featured Dojo Contest.

Yes. This explaination of ruling helps make the results more fair. My friend on ps4 felt hurt that her dojo was not featured. She felt the situation was unfair because the winning dojos have only a handful of rooms decorated. Meanwhile her dojo has more than 120 rooms decorated and has the feature of encouraging and teaching players to decorate.

• Are dojos only judged according to having the most beautiful scene/sculpture?
• Or are other factors considered?

[(PSN)Dorian-Hawkmoon 267]

I sure wasn't getting that from the rules, last I heard if there were no entries in a catagory then a smaller clan got the spot. Our clan tier did not change during the contest.  But thank you for clarifying, we won't waste our time putting together an entry in the future.

Developers, can you launch a purple card to prevent the wrong decomposition function? For example, lock the important purple card to prevent error loss

I love the infested chamber room we have for our dojo's now! I was wondering if we could get a whole new updated set of infested "rooms"

If you could repurpose the infested tunnels from deimos and isolation vaults area we could have new connectors just like the tenno ones with:

- x-shape

-straight shape

-T shape

- bend (left/right corner)

If you could repurpose the infested parts in the isolation vault bounties or maybe cut out some parts from inside the caves where we could have our own endocrine water pools for our dojo's, turning one of the caves into a skybox to use as a base room for our dojo's to build in or that kind of thing.

I feel with the arrival of heart of deimos expansion it gives us a chance to expand on the infested decorations and rooms dojo's could have more than we've already got. I am aware there are new infested "decorations" already, but i'd like to see more added if it is possible! I would like to envision a whole dojo in the infested theme!

With the removal of the hall rankings and the addition of spawn pads, Is it possible to have any room be the center of the dojo? I plan to have my dry dock be the main room of my dojo and have it be surrounded with the various labs.

[[DE]Helen 10,267]

During Devstream #151, Rebecca shared the first Dojo QoL items the team is working on for 2021! These changes and additions are currently in progress. We'll keep you posted as these items near completion and the team starts working on more promised changes and additions! Check out the Dojo QoL clip from Devstream #151 below:

• Remove Clan Hall Ranking Order from building requirements. Tenno will be able to build these rooms in any order they desire!
• Add a Preview Decorations option, similar to the Polychrome’s Preview Colors option.
• Adjust Research in the Orokin Lab and Chem Lab to display 100% completion without event-specific Recipes. This change also removes the Solar Rail construction message that pops up when players teleport to the Orokin Lab. 
• More skybox options for the Open Space! Void and other skyboxes will be available to research in the Tenno Lab. Decorators will then be able to change the room’s skybox from the room console.

[LillyRaccune 956]

Looking great! Thanks for the update. I'll be tuned in when this update goes live 💖

Please, please, PLEASE add options that allow you to "fund all" cosmetics, including lights, for the entire dojo. Do you know how utterly mind numbing it is to go through hundreds of decorations funding them all individually?

[CorpusWaifu 20]

Will there be open space room with many doors? Like it's perfect room to make dojo feel more open, have some windows etc. but it's a dead end wich is sad

this

if resource cost is a concern when the function is used (might cause some script errors? idk), simply adding a warning text message telling the architect that vault+personal aren't providing enough and they won't be able to use the Fund All function until all required resources have been amassed.

There might be difficulties in calculating the sum resource requirement, but hey, I'm not a dev, just some speculation.

Can we get decors from the new generation of Corpus assets? Those statues, holograms, flowing water would look amazing in dojos.

I’d also love to see vehicles in dojos, like ships, trucks, carts for display.

[(XBOX)GuardianFafnir 19]

I really appreciate that the devs are opening up more customization options! I'd be really excited if they would allow older dojos to break down the entire dojo and start fresh, without losing all the obtained research or unlocked trophies, by adding a mass delete room function or even a full dojo reset. Because as it stands, I'm sure I'm not the only one, but my dojo is a hot mess since the original creation and inability to delete rooms in batches would take weeks/months to even accomplish a full redecoration.

when will you address the issue with transporters in dojo that were renamed during the issue of the bug that caused them to move outside the dojo map? i imagine plenty of people can't delete them as they seem to be permanently there. when will you allow players in dojo's to delete transporters that were bugged??

I agree! In a way, I've been thinking it would be interesting to see different versions of [DE]Scott's truck made into dojo decor as well (Whatever it looked like in the most recent devstream (It was absent from the garage); 50% finished, and however the truck looks like when he's done with it). If any pictures were taken of the truck in previous stages of work, that would help with 3D modeling for it, in theory.

 

It would be very good if we could set a path for that flowing water to travel as well, if it can interact with the surfaces of other decorations perhaps.

[Zzz-Somnus-zzZ 173]

Hi, can you guys allow me to tell which entrance am I connecting to when I create the drydock? I currently have to start creation > check if railjack is facing correct direction > restart until it is in correct orientation.

Should not be too tough to have on UI whether it is left, right or bottom entrance.

[wizardeiges 412]

Any chance we could get the sentient decoration item that was removed put back in?

It was some kind of orb decoration that looked like a black marble with swirling red energy in it.

I saw it as a option in the first week we got sentient decorations but shortly after it disappeared and has been gone since while i've saw dojos have the decoration in them.
This decoration:




Amazing new additions coming! can't wait to see what is included with the cetus decorations.

Here is more of the black egg with red energy

Would also love a feature to snap platforms together and any matching objects that come in parts
I'm always some pixels off when trying manually

try restrained movement ([R] by default), and low sensitivity, for fine adjustments.
Switch the axis if required, from global, to local. ([Y] by default)

Its not a fix, but it's the best thing I found for very small adjustments.

[VoidArkhangel 588]

Could we get a "noclip" switch please? Some decorations have odd hitboxes and sometimes I really want to merge two or more things into one 

[(PSN)IndianChiefJeff 1,022]

Any plans to adjust the parent-child room building restrictions that have plagued dojos for over half-a-decade? It's just plain cruel having to waste hours at a time reconstructing everything from scratch. How about Somachord options for each room? What about room template changes geared towards factions so that we don't have to build dozens of walls to cover up the base Tenno design? That definitely detracts from all the time & resources invested into recoloring a room. I know for a fact that Orokin rooms used to exist, we really do need greater levels of customization at this point if we're approaching 8 years. Any new rooms for that matter? Whatever happened to that K-Drive skate park that we were promised a while back? How about the ability to change the Hall of Honor statues to any Warframe of our choosing? New decor is always nice, but dojos need a massive facelift to become more appealing & user-friendly. Yes, we all know you guys have a mountain-load of work ahead of you, but older content like this requires so much more investment.

[CircusOwner 4]

We are keep sending our dogs and cats to Lotos... (sound like "ma boy, your humster left to the heavens") can we send them in the dojo? I'm ok to donate some pet beds and toys to my dojo, just make this real :o
imagine you walk into the dojo and a good boy welcomes you :3

[(PSN)iiTeKiiLa 2]

Hello, would it be possible that you add a system for modifying the shadows of the decoration items or while the atmospheres or lights have an impact on it because this makes some structures very dark
