Process Plants (stockpile)
« on: April 19, 2008, 06:24:00 pm »

The idea is to have a command for workshops allowing them automatically select the "process" type based on the stockpile contents.

If I have a stockpile of tails & pods the "Process Plants (stockpile)" order would automatically select "Process Plants" if the stockpile contains tails or "Process Plants (to barrel)" if it contains pods.  (If it has both pick the closest.)

A stockpile of various weapon-grade metals you could make into bolts, or have a pile of decorative metals and give a "Stud with (stockpile)" order and have the whole pile taken care of.

You could even make the "process stockpile" command work like auto-looming, where if anything appears in the stockpile the attached workshop(s) automatically generate orders.
