Automation?
« on: December 22, 2010, 11:15:12 am »

Is there a better way than the Manager screen to queue production?  I can only add 30 of something at a time.  Granted I can type it in over and over, but is there a way to permanently repeat production when the components are available?  I know you can do it at individual workshops, but they cancel the order when they have no access to components...

A place where I could order "Automatically cut all rough gems" or "Automatically make coke from lignite & coal" would be awesome...  I feel like most of my time is spent micromanaging at this point.

Am I missing something?  Thanks!

that can be done at the workshop with the 'r' key

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

I know...  Is that the only way?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
