0010646: Museums are de-prioritized or have N/A value as meeting spaces

Notes
(0037976) PatrikLundell (reporter) 2018-03-20 01:02	While not the same problem, report 0010563 also relates to museum issues.

(0037977) FantasticDorf (reporter) 2018-03-20 01:33	User @Orkel mentioned about a issue about museum zones being never used, to which Toady replied that they themselves probably made a mistake and would check Forum link provided:( http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=168288.msg7625313#msg7625313 [^] ) _________________________________________________________ In relation to museum zones and zones in general, Toady said they'd look into 0010129 where locations could work without meeting zones ( http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=168313.msg7625588#msg7625588 [^] )and "loop it in with the museum thing and see if its all related". Observant players may have noticed that i used this trick on my locations ingame to free up dwarves to idle with the intention of visiting the museum and other places, and i think that it is implicitly related to the issue on prioritization presented in this issue report. Where location activity priorities are too high and looping on activities with none dedicated to idling, wheras on the museum there is no prioritization and dwarves don't visit reportedly without implicit museum location zone links like taverns. Added note, making the zone inactive is not required as long as the meeting zone itself is abstracted and removed from the location while the location remains.

This leads to small enclaves of dwarves over-admiring art in their personally assigned rooms because their art was over-prioritized and over-flowing (like the lack of need to look at museum exhibits) and they will generate a positive thought every time they repeat the action easily nullifying stress with repeated positivity. Dwarves without some personal or communal space to admire art will remain in 'default' empty floorspace meeting zones as intended with the need building up until it starts distracting them. Methods such as pushing furniture together like chairs to force dwarves to interact in a dining room will not work as long as the need remains open and active.

(0038050) FantasticDorf (reporter) 2018-03-28 14:33	I may have contradicted myself in a small detail previously, if the meeting zone is removed from the location, dwarves will ignore the museum artifact/display completely, it is only really compatible within other meeting zones but not its own. However a lack of active museums and a lack of interest of visiting places besides locations for visitors especially taverns does create a artifact release specific issue of not allowing rumors surrounding the location of a object in your fortress to actively take place without the player deliberately putting it in public places to be seen & being very easy to conceal from the rest of the world.
