Inventory Management
« on: July 10, 2010, 05:39:12 pm »

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a tool, along the lines of Dwarf Therapist, but for inventory management?

Ideally I would like something which listed all equipable items filterable by type, material, whether it is equipped, pending or unequipped, as well as a seperate listing showing each of your dwarfs and their current and pending equipment, with the dwarfs filterable by squad, sex, profession, etc. so that you can tell a dwarf to pick up or drop a particular item or type of item (I've had no end of trouble with dwarfs either not picking things up or not dropping things).

This is pretty much due to bugs in the current equipement system, they are to solves soon. In fact, a lot of them will be in the soon-to-be-realised 38.09.

Eventualy the military screen will do pretty much everything your asking here.

Of course a cheating utlilty to force your dwarves to wield floodgates and cat spleens could be hilarious.

Being able to determine the inventories of non-military/non-active dwarfs would be handy too. It is always a pain in the arse when I go to equip a highly trained axe dwarf and find out that an ex-woodcutter won't give up the axe.

I think though that even if once the bugs are fixed it can be done through the military screen, a third party utility or plugin for an existing labour preference manager would still come in very handy.
