Currently, if you show a page, either "naturally" (the visitor to your dwelling has clicked a link under 'Explore this area') or "artificially" (A program has been run which triggers a 'Show Page' contraption) then you can choose whether or not to show the main room. (Change a setting in Master Settings for natural access, use a 'Hide Room' contraption for artificial access.) Great. But you can't stop any programs on the main page from running. Is it possible to change this, so that 'Don't show room' includes 'Don't run programs in room'?

If this is possible, and happens, would this upset other builders at all?

Oh, would it, instead, be possible to include options for both not showing the room and not showing the program?

There's a "Stop running other programs" Contraption in the works that should sort this out. I'll be revisiting Places and adding some new stuff once I've had a month or two of bugfixes and storytelling.
