The change to bathroom furniture that I blogged about last month has now been implemented. Specifically:

From now on, the "fill" command for bathroom furniture such as baths and basins will only work when the furniture item is "plumbed in", i.e. placed as furniture.

While I'm here, I will also reiterate my previous explanation for this change, to make sure it's clear. This isn't about "realism", and it isn't about wanting to make sailing more difficult. The reason for this change is to make it possible for game systems to use water in interesting ways. If item X is easily available in unlimited amounts, it can't be used as a constraint - and constraints are a tool that can be used to create interesting gameplay (as with many other aspects of life).
