Managing Multiple Materials (Job orders)
« on: January 30, 2015, 09:37:09 pm »

For my setup, I have a few different mason's workshops, each with their own dedicated stockpile. One with orthoclase intended to make blocks for wall building, and a couple with rock-salt intended to make doors, chairs, tables, etc. What I would like to achieve is to be able to use the manager to order jobs: Create 30 rock blocks, 10 doors, 5 chairs, etc. It seems when i do this the orders will go to any old workshop without regard to material. I feel like I'm missing something very simple to achieve this. Any ideas? Also, I'm playing with DF starter pack (latest 40.24 pack)

You have to do it manually. The manager can't yet do what you want from it. There have been a few suggestions for this before though.

I was afraid of this. Looks like I'll be micro-managing :(
