Split idlers count into groups (user configurable)
« on: January 27, 2010, 03:01:28 pm »

I have some dwarves I never want idle, some dwarves where keeping them busy is less important, some dwarves where I don't really care that much, and then there's my farmer, who is often spuriously listed as idling while tending the fields because the harvest and plant seeds jobs seem to take a while to find him/her.  However, all these different dwarves get lumped together into one "Idlers" count.

My proposal: let the user create "idler groups" and assign dwarves to them.  Each group would be listed separately, like this:

Code: [Select]
Idlers:3/0/2/5
This would let you tell at a glance if you need to examine things in further detail by pulling up the units list.
