Title: Save and load work details
Post by: Button on February 02, 2024, 10:37:26 pm
It sucks having the perfect work detail setup, starting a new game, and having to manually create all those work details again. If we could save a set of work details and then load them in the next fort, that would be cool.

For extra points, you could allow us to add small images to serve as our custom work detail icons!

Yes!  Both are good ideas!

In the meantime, see here:  https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/tools/orders.html#orders

Thanks for the suggestion! Unless I'm missing something though, I don't think this page contains anything related to Work Details, the labor settings? It seems to be entirely about Work Orders, the manager thing.

Hmm… apparently, there’s a certain Cat that can’t read!   :-[

Perhaps I should make a separate suggestion, though…
