Hospitality: Change Entertainment to be similar to Gastronomy's Waiting #622

An idea to change how Entertainment works.

Currently, pawns initiate the entertainment and run to each guest individually, possibly across the base just to entertain single guest.

My suggestion is to change the Entertainment job to be more like Waiting from Gastronomy. First, you would set up "Entertainment Area". Guests would then wait in that area to be entertained by colonists. And same as Gastronomy, there could be time-table for specific colonists to be on standby in the work area. It could also be possible to entertain your own colonists, same as in Gastronomy. Another idea would be to entertain multiple guests at the same time, maybe at the cost of "quality" of the entertainment.

I like that idea. Defining the area could be tricky, though. But I'm planning to get rid of the shopping areas (it will become a radius around the register, and you can set it to shopping). I suppose entertaining could work like that too, but the register doesn't really feel appropriate.

It could just be a spot with radius and blocked by walls. It could also be a "podium" if we treat entertainment as including dancing and stuff.

That would be taking "entertaining guests" quite literally. But yeah. Some object with a radius around it would probably work. Although I'm not really a fan of adding new objects.
