How many tasks can you queue up?

[Jaggid Edje]

Working on trying to get the True Solo achievement, and find myself doing a lot of manual task assignment rather than mucking about adjusting priorities all the time. I haven't queued more than 8 things at once so far, but I'm curious what the maximum is.

Does anyone know?

Eight? Wow, I've never felt confident queueing up more than two or three. Had no idea. Thanks for that tidbit.

LOL, well...8 is a lot. I queued up 8 butcher orders after she had killed a bunch of Ulfin at once while hunting. She was up until 6 am the next morning to finish it (because the butcher order also auto-queues the orders to carry the stuff back to storage).

I was okay with that though, because I wanted things butchered before the buzzard-lizards ate up all my spoils and it was on my True Solo run, so I had no other persons to help with the task.

How exactly do you manually queue multiple actions on a single settler?

shift right click. Works the same as right clicking to assign tasks, except it queues them up.

I never did find a limit either, I queued up so many tasks that my people passed out from exhaustion before completing them and the queue just kept letting me add more the whole time. :)

Thank you so much for letting us know. Was looking this up too

I don't think there's a set limit to how many tasks you can have queued up, but obviously the game will decide how/when your survivors carry them out.

What i remember from one of the old discussions it was 8. But at the end of the day when they go to sleep the queue resets and fills back up again in the morning.
That's memory, not facts btw.

It is most definitely significantly more than 8 and always has been, at least since the full release.

Yah, this sounds more right. I haven't been able to find an upper limit so far, and have queued as many as 60+ tasks (obviously, they didn't get them all done before falling over exhausted though...)
Thanks for confirming that there isn't a specific limit.
