New priorities, possible to set mining priority?
« on: December 21, 2014, 05:34:45 pm »
I have some miners that I like to use for farming when they are idle. However, if I want to mine something, I want to prioritize it. Is there any way to do it without turning off their farming labors temporarily? That way, they are always planting, unless there is a mining job.

Uhm, well, there's this new release...and...

To get down to the gritty, new release has priority system. Set mining jobs to 1, and they'll definitely do mining over planting. Don't know what priority farming is officially comapred to mining. I was expecting to see science about that, but alas.

Where is the priority number set? Is it in-game somewhere or in a text file?

Priority in mining, you have to change it by * or / while designating mining area.

I've heard Minecart Airlines Express offers nice trips to nobility. Alternative trips include a voyage over the volcano. Call 1-800-I-THE-GUINEAPIG-VOLUNTEER and book now!
