How to restrict the use of synthetics?

[Urieaal]

Just got the Game. Seems really gun so far, doing the tutorial. I like the premise.

Anywho, can someone explain how to forbid the use of synthetic textiles?

I can't find it or am just missing it..

Select the clothing you have selected for crafting in the tailoring bench queue.
There you can deselect what resources not to use.

This doesn't work for the balloon.
Frustrating when I salvage some synthetics & then the guys ignore my cloth & waste the synthetics...

Ya, in early game, when you only have a few salvaged synthetics and you want to save them to make respirator masks (for toxic ash) but you need to build a balloon.....

Really ? Perhaps when you want to build the balloon pause the game. Place the balloon, uncheck synthetic and then unpause might help ?

Just checked. No options for building balloons. It takes 50 leather and fabrics. No option to check/uncheck fabric types. No option of any sort at all. Anyways, this is a minor inconvenience, toxic ash won't kill.
Use the method Flin showed to make sure synthetics are not used for anything that may require cloth, e.g. bandages, beds.

i confirm they take the most nearby clothes, it has to be managed sometimes. If the balloon is not finished crafting you can cancel it and recover all the stuff. (only solution, if you dismantl it you do not recover synthetics, but white clothes instead.

it can be a a bit micro managey but when you build the balloon, keep an i on the builder, if they try to take synthetics, draft them, forbid the synthetics from use. undraft get the builder to keep working. repeat until all cloth is delivered. then unforbid your piles of textiles on the ground
