Any chance that we could get them added to everything besides just the walls, in the direction our guys will interact with the object from once its built?

For example, add them to a refinery on the side that the worker will work on or on the storage chests on the side that they are supposed to fill or empty it from.

The arrows are for indicating which side is suppose to go outside.

What you're looking for is the white dummies on the cylinders. But yeah i do agree that those would be lovely. Right now it seems that they just go to whichever side, usually the most inefficient one as possible. And if you try making a new one the other way around he'll just go around again..

But those white dummies need to be smaller, like for beds you really don't need that much space between them but you can't build them closer cus of it.

--EDIT-- I just opted in to unstable builds and now I finally see the little dolls or whatever it is that indicates where people will be standing when they use things. MUCH better!

I know this is an old thread and I'm sorry for the necromancy, but this feature would be wonderful. I like to build a saloon and line the walls with containers for centralized storage. The problem is that half the time my people won't be able to access the container because they want to get at it from the wall side. This would completely solve that issue.

The dolls are there so you know here the default standing positions are for the characters. just move the object so they are not covered and you should be fine.

They pretty much solved the issue of facing with them. no need to add more visual clutter when you have the information in front of you already.
Do you believe the sexes should be equal?
Oh heavens no.
Then Men would become unmanageable
