Auto Workshop Question
« on: October 03, 2014, 12:10:22 pm »

So for Auto Workshop (in Dwarf Hack I believe) how do you set up brew drinks?

The only one that "looks" right is:
Item: Drink
Type: Any Plant

I do that, set my range to 85-150 (if I get below 85, brew more til I have 150) (this is for my starting 7 btw).  Anyway, It shows 0 on hand and my brewer never goes to the still...I know I have booze since I just embarked.  So obviously I'm not keying it in right for this item. 

Doors, tables, chairs, these all work fine.  Just can't dial the brewski's in.

I would just use a manager noble.

The manager noble doesn't automatically create jobs. He is asking for help with DFHack workflow commands. That's a bit akin to answering a Windows question with "I just use Linux".

Anyway, the documentation for DFHack says:

       " workflow count DRINK (max number) (subtracted number) "

Perhaps it doesn't need a material since drinks only use plants. Or maybe only for specifying type of plant?

I think I figured it out.

You can select "drink/plant" but that doesn't do anything (which seems odd since I don't particularly care what type of booze they are brewing and to my knowledge you can't really control that anyway).

If you select "drink" and then plant specific, select say "plump helmet" then that gives you a third menu with a specific brew type.  Still not sure it's working right as I was well below my minimum target number and they didn't start brewing for quite a while. 

Maybe that's one to have a "manager" and use him for these special projects..lol.
