It would be nice, if we could define a "Default Material" (repeatable) . So the first entry in choosing any build would be this "Default Material". Would save us a lot of scrolling and searching when we build multiple things from the same stuff.

You could set all stone types you don't want to use as economic, or forbid them in stocks, which would help this problem a certain amount.

[Bartleby]

make alle stones economic does not really help, there are some hundreds of stones you have to allow/forbid also there are block, bars wood ...
Forbidding all materials i do not want at the moment is also impractical, (again all blocks,logs,stones,bars...)
And if there are other projects at the same time with different materials, they are all cancelled.

Nah ...
Defining a "Default Material" before I do a couple of construction with the same stuff would really help, and should be quite easy to implement. It just changes the sort so ONE Material  comes always first when defined.

Another way would be just to select the building stone somewhere else, and not select one at all when you actually make constructions. Add a menu item in construction menu that is "select building material", choose your stone type there, and you save the extra key presses. Be a pain for people trying to make mosaics and such like though.

[Bartleby]

Yeah i agree. I just thought, selecting the material elsewhere and then having it as First Choice in Build might be a easy to implement.

It would be less so, unless they're going to stupidly create their mosaic in a linear fashion.  They select one "color" and drop down all the tiles for that color, at once, then select the next color.

It would actually make their job easier.

Well, it could just default to the last material you used in that particular workshop.  Seems like a good enough solution.  Would also be useful if it applied to building constructions, too.  Would need an option between "Closest" and "Last Used", though.

[Bartleby]

"Last Used" should be quite oke. But i must appear as first material on every built (if usable of course). Maybe optional so you can turn that feature on/off.
But it would help me big time, as i do a really lot of floors.
