I need to know for some programming issues where anyone ever used house numbers in notes. So to get an indication this poll ... I'm sure you know what I mean - the numbers in front of buildings when you click on the buildings tab.

No but I assumed this would become important when amnesia sets in....

No, for as far as I know, when we implement amnesia, we first implement something that the old names become visible as signs on the buildings. So the amnesia won't be as dramatic as earlier amnesias

That's good to hear because I had got the impression things would be otherwise and a lot of cantr history would be lost...

Honestly, I voted no, but I probably should have voted yes because the thought had crossed my mind. They seem like a very useful method for statically referring to a building.

Yes, I certainly expected some people to say yes. Pretty annoying for some changes I had planned, though, because now I have to protect those numbers

Amnesia? What?

Building name amnesia ... but as I said, it won't be very disastrous - amnesia might almost be the wrong word
... We'll implement signs instead of fixed building names, basically, so we add features rather than remove anything

About the building numbers - thanks for those responses
. I know enough now - we need to protect those numbers. That has just been implemented, so you don't have to worry about using them

I took it one further and actually put the building number in my building name!
