Production Manager 'Profiles'
« on: February 04, 2011, 06:04:32 pm »

One of the things I would like to see added to Dwarf Fortress is a sped up production manager. What you could do is designate a manager 'profile' much like embark profiles. For example, you could make one with all the military gear a military dwarf would need. Then, you just select it, put in a quantity, and the manager would instantly fill up with all the items you need. Instead of manually filling it up with one item at a time, you just hit one button and everything is ready for production. I think it would speed things up quite a bit.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

Something like an import/export function using a .txt file, then?

I remember suggesting similar things for the upcoming Standing Production Orders - when you have some settings you liked, the list could be kept from fortress to fortress that way.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.
