Job Manager Repeat
« on: July 02, 2008, 11:40:43 pm »

Perhaps add a repeat option to jobs in the job manager.

I could say, set up a job to create 5 stone cabinets, then 5 stone chairs, and 5 stone tables. I set all of them on repeat. Once validated by the manager, the game would then set up all of those tasks in the appropriate workshops. Once one was filled, it would replace itself at the bottom of the list. The job would then have to be re-validated by the manager in order to take effect. Doing this, we can reduce the amount of job micromanagement from the manager menu and set up reasonable loops for commonly done tasks.
