Managing jobs through DFhack
« on: June 11, 2013, 11:41:01 am »

For the bedroom design I'm using, I need to queue up 256 beds, 256 cabinets and 256 doors.  This takes a long time to do, even through the manager screen.  Is there a DFhack plugin that will automatically take care of this for me?  Apparently workflow can do it, but I can't figure out how.

Tangentially related: Every time I try to use quickfort with the buildingplan plugin, it somehow loses both quickfort mode and planning mode after the first few things get placed.  What am I doing wrong?  This script worked perfectly on another fort.

As I understand, you should write in DFhack window:
workflow enable <=== enables the workflow plugin
workflow bed 256 0
workflow cabinet 256 0
etc. (syntax unchecked, may not actually work that way)

Then you simply put a job on repeat in your workshops.

Ah, I hadn't realized you had to manually add a job.  Thanks!

Are you by any chance using a dfhack mouse plugin? I remember one of them having some issues with quickfort, but I can't recall the details.

I am, but I didn't have this problem before, using the exact same plugin and DFhack.  (both newest version)
I'll try disabling it anyway, and see how it works.

Disabling the mousequery plugin did not affect it.
