Increase Priority for Trading at Depot
« on: November 03, 2007, 10:43:00 pm »

Its rather frustrating when everyone in the fortress ships all the supplies to the depot to trade and the broker finds any excuse not to go trade, from harvesting plants to taking a nap to anything else under the earth. Then you start getting worried so you tell the depot to allow anyone to trade, but nobody goes. So you turn all jobs off for the broker hoping he'll run to the depot with nothing else to do, but he still finds an excuse or two. Then the traders pack up and leave, leaving you with a pile of stores that you moved out to the depot that just need to be put back down without ever gotten to do any trading. The only way to reliably get the broker to the depot is to pretty much turn the whole fortress off which is a bit like killing a fly with a hammer. So if the priority just went up a notch or two the whole thing would be a lot easier.
