So autocut definitely needs to notice that rough gems are forbidden or marked for dumping before creating tasks to cut them, and it also needs to be able to notice that some other task, such as a mood, has taken the gem.
Sorry about that; I now have a potential fix that I'll submit after testing. Meanwhile, as has been noted, you can link one stockpile to the workshop(s), while keeping a few gems in an unlinked stockpile for moods.
Enabling the plugin should not also enable the workshop order IMO, as automatically cutting rough gems is a big change from vanilla behavior with potentially serious downsides for moody dwarves. (I've had a few comments on this in the Starter Pack thread too)
It makes sense when the only people enabling it are those who intend to do so. Apparently, that's not the case, so I can also leave it disabled by default. It can be enabled on a per-world basis easily enough.
(And to think, there was a concern at one point that gems wouldn't be getting auto-cut
quickly enough...)
So am I right in assuming that in regards to gem cutting:
1. The new Autogem starts enabled with the Starter Pack install of DFHack?
2. I can stop using a workflow setup where I start with cutting any old gem and then while setting up a Workflow changing it from the specific gem I selected to using "gem of any type"?
or
3. Autogems cut all gems, yes? So perhaps I should keep on with my current method as at least I can link up a stock pile and more easily prevent gems I do not want cut from being cut?
I can't speak to #1, but yes, autogems should render such a workflow hack obsolete. Autogems does respect stockpile links, so it only cuts all gems if you have an unlinked workshop.
What are the current settings for autogem and how are they changes? My mod uses rough gems as reagents, so I'll need to include instructions on turning this off entirely and/or how to systematically exclude several types of rough gems from automatic cutting.
Currently, it can be enabled or disabled on two levels:
First, the
enable and
disable commands on the DFHack command line or in a configuration file;
Second, the
o-W "Current Workshop Orders" screen.
In addition, stockpile links can be used to limit a workshop to cutting only certain types of gem.
I'm open to ideas for other configuration options, as long as they're easy to use.
