Manager order condition to check for fabric bags
« on: July 15, 2018, 01:31:46 am »

My fort keeps running out of bags. I'm trying to get a flour and dye system set up, so I want to always have spare bags on hand.

In the manager menu, I'm able to create an order to make 10 cloth bags, and it's currently set to restart if completed and check conditions daily. The condition right now is that the "amount of empty boxes and bags is less than 10". Is there a way to have it only check for bags and not boxes?
(Or only cloth bags is fine, since that's what I'm drowning in excess of. My textile industry runs off of rope reeds and hemp.)

The Condition "empty sewn-imageless boxes and bags" returns the amount of empty bags in your fortress. No matter wich material they are made of and without boxes.

I use "empty plant boxes and bags" but do not allow unused wood chests in the fort. Just as you would not want to start decorating with cloth images when using sewn-imageless...

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

Unfortunately, it is not available through the job manager's traits listing.
