Easy jewellery
« on: October 25, 2010, 12:07:09 pm »

How do I get Jewellers workshops working nice and easily. I have a bunch of gold doors, and I want the jeweller to say set three stones on each of them, only. I have the furnature workshop next to the jeweller, but if i set the task on repeat, he tends to put loads of stones on just one door. Any help please ?

Each decoration can only be applied to an object once -- once you've decorated a door with rubies, you can't decorate it with rubies a second time.

So the simplest method is just to limit your jeweler to encrusting with only three types of gems.

It's difficult to get just the items you want encrusted in just the way you want them to be, and tends to require a lot of micromanagement with burrows and/or locked doors.  You basically have to set it up so that your jeweler can only reach the specific item you want encrusted, and if you want multiple objects encrusted specific ways you'll probably have to do this for each item one at a time.
