Steam: Adding multiple orders to workshop
« on: December 16, 2022, 06:10:33 am »
I expect I'm just having a dumb moment, but is there a way to assign a workshop order to happen a set amount of times? (so, for example, I want 7 beds.)
I only found a way to make one or infinite amount of an order.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

in the bottom left you can see a clipboard with a check mark on it; this is the work orders menu. when you have a manager with an office (it just needs to be a char), you can assign arbitrary numbers.

What you've been putting on the workshop are Jobs, which are either one-time or repeating.

A Work Order is a different thing. They can be created from a tab on the workshop (in which case the order will only apply to that shop) or from the menu mentioned in the post above (in which case the order will be spread across all shops of the correct type.) Work orders allow you to specify whatever number you want, but they require your fort to have a manager (with an office) to validate them.

Yeah, I am finding myself abusing the crap out of work orders in this edition even when normally I'd just put in a set amount of jobs when I need something just because having to scroll around for each specific item is a pain. I THOUGHT I had seen someone somewhere mention that this got fixed but... I think either I or they were hallucinating.  ???
