workshop manager
« on: May 20, 2012, 06:17:04 am »

The new stockpile system has made it very easy to have each workshop only use one sort of material. So i have one masons workshop making cobalt blocks, and another making obsidian furniture. But I'm having to queue up the furniture 10 at a time form the workshop menu. Is there any way to do it 30 at a time from the manager screen and have the job only sent to the obsidian workshop?

set 10 cobalt blocks to be made on repeat so it can't get new orders?

You would just need 1 item on repeat to continuously make the same thing.

Right, but the point of having 10 on repeat is to keep the job list "full" in that workshop, so the job manager will not assign any jobs to that particular workshop.
