Under the manager screen, being able to choose say "make (armour type) suit" And have the leather guy, or metalsmith queue up each piece needed to make a full suit. Instead of making each piece at a time.

Excellent idea, dunno why it wasn't thought of before...

Instead of saying "Silk cap x30; silk pants x30; etc" you could just say "Make Silk Cloth Suit x30" and save huge amounts of manager screen space.

I just wonder if cloaks and hoods would be included in the suit process. Maybe also allow the player to define his own suit combinations? This way the player could make their own suit, to fit what resources they have at the time, and still retain the minimalized manager tasking aspect.

Being able to assign a suit that has a 'Bronze plate, iron helmet, copper leggings, copper gauntlets, copper high boots' would be very useful if you didn't have much iron or bronze, but lots of copper.

For that matter, why not allow requisite tasks to be auto-allocated when needed?  Such as, if you need something made from silk cloth, instead of complaining you have no silk cloth in stock, queue up a task to make the cloth.  Obviously, if a particular task needs raw materials that are unavailable, such as smelting ores, then the higher level tasks would fail.

These have been suggested before -- with suits, it has to be customized somewhere, since a "suit" has no meaning in and of itself (the armor raws don't link them in any way, and a given entity might have several body armors, etc).

The more complex work orders are an ultimate goal of the Transportation and Automation Arc, but it's quite annoying to do, and I'm sure whatever AI I write for it will garner many complaints, so it has to be very customizable, as far as which shops are used for which jobs, etc etc etc
