40d: Autotasks and maximum amount of tasks
« on: January 30, 2009, 01:12:23 am »

It's not a game breaking thing, but a bit annoying

You can not set more than 10 tasks in a workshop. However, if there are already 10 tasks, autotasks such as weave thread or whatever can be added, raising the number to 11. It's annoying, since I intended to use 10 repeating collect silk tasks in one loom to prevent it from creating auto weave task, distracting the weaver from collecting GCS silk...

Anyway it's inconsistent, since you cannot add more than 9 'own' tasks, if there is already an auto task sheduled

There's an option in the orders menu under Workshop orders that says 'auto-loom thread' or something like that. Toggle this. Then your weaver won't weave until you add the task.

I know. I need him to auto loom, though. One loom for collecting webs (near GCS factory), another for weaving it (near stocks). I thought, that by cluttering first one with collect web tasks, I'll prevent auto loom generating in it... didn't work.
