Priority events
« on: February 08, 2008, 09:07:00 am »

Basically, I'd like to see the option to prioritise events.  I have all of my dwarves set to farming (fields), but they do that when I want them to do other stuff. Being able to set them to farm in their spare time to get some nice big crops would be more useful, instead of them not making useful items.

Another thing would be the ability to, instead of having to hold down the + button to determine room size, is to just push one button which expands the room to its maximum possible size, up to a door, stone wall, etc, if you get what I mean.

I think this old thread has my favorite implementation of this (whether it's set individually, in groups, or globally), but make sure to check out the thread that Toady points out as well. And search for "job priorities" in DF Suggestions for other ideas that have been proposed  :)
