Increase the max quanity for the manager
« on: February 01, 2009, 02:03:53 am »
The manager can currently only order 30 of any one kind of job.  I frequently enough want to make 100 steel bars.  This is 100 smelt magnetite jobs, 100 charcoal, 50 pig iron, and 50 steel.  Typing all that in is a pain; it'd be easier if I could do 100 quantity per job ordered by the manager.

(Worse is when I'm turning my herd into soap; 50 cows is 300 soap, which means I hit "q ash up-arrow ret 30 ret" ten times, then I do the same with lye)

I agree with this. Repetition gets annoying when I want to order large amounts of glass blocks.

I'd just like to interject that this is the best reaction to a redundant thread that I've seen here.

It's polite, brief and useful, both to people who want to discuss the idea, and to people who want to promote it.

Kudos to you, Silverionmox.
