Title: Any tools to manage manager work orders?
Post by: TV4Fun on March 18, 2023, 08:29:14 pm

Can anyone tell me of any, or is anyone working on any tools to manage work orders to the manager? The new work order system in 2014 makes managers officially not suck anymore, except that the UI for managing work orders, especially for large numbers of them, is a bit clunky. It'd be nice if there was a tool to automate the process a bit. It looks like there is some relevant code to work orders in df_structures (https://github.com/DFHack/df-structures/blob/09ddae3c2851f207c7257b4767182f4c6c938f18/df.jobs.xml), but I'm not sure exactly how to use it and don't want to duplicate any work if anyone else is already doing something.

Maybe a few more specific examples of what you want it to do that the current system can't manage. I automate my entire fortress production with the manager.
