Manager assigned jobs - Workshop choice?
« on: September 10, 2016, 01:02:42 pm »

Since we can now have criteria dependent manager jobs, is there anyway to choose which workshops are/aren't used?

For example I don't want my farmers workshop in my food processing area being ordered to process pig tails from my industry area. I know there's an option to limit the amount of workshops but that doesn't really help.

DF v.43 Work orders questions and suggestions might be helpful. I know, I know, 5th result when searching for manager, so you need to scroll down, but still.

You can pick 1 workshop, or all workshops.

You can set up manager orders from the workshops themselves, and then forbid the workshop from taking jobs from the general manager list.

Not only that, but from the workshop profile menu, (P) when you (q)uery a workshop, you can specify which kinds of tasks a workshop can partake in.  Go to the Labor Restrictions tab and you will see a list of things you can enable/disable.  You can use this for making sure that you are using a certain workshop for armour making, etc.
