Game Mechanics Item Placement Suggestion

Terrarian
Not sure if this belongs in mechanics or items since a bit of both, but decorating my house again made me realize that there aren’t a lot of items that can be placed on top of other items.

My suggestion is that if a player can stand on it, then you should also be able to place basically anything else on it.

Example - a glass kiln on top of a white painted dresser in a kitchen really resembles a pizza oven. But you can’t place it there directly. Or a cooking pot on top would make a cabinet to look like a stove top. A lot of the crafting stations look good just want other options besides the ground and platforms to place them down.

Example two - chest on top of a dresser or workbench. I’d really like to stack chests on top of workbenches or tinkerer bench. I can stack a huge terrarium across the top of 3 side by side workbenches but I can’t put a single chest on top of one?

Example 3 - placing statue on top of marble workbench like a pedestal. It’s a flat surface made out of marble lol.

A lot of this is purely decorative, but I feel like it could be seen as QoL too because optimizing workshops could be made even better. And it gives additional use for crafted furniture.
 
Sounds good to me. Yes this is a game mechanics idea. I think the only thing that would hinder it is coding difficulty. Full support.

If I can place wood in lava without it burning, your idea should definitely be possible too.
 
What you're asking for is wider placeable surfaces on furniture items, yes? I support this.
