NPC Work Loads

[Zousug]

Hey, so.... is it possible to make a work load unlimited / repeatable without having to go back and check and copy/re set it up?

I.e i want a NPC to go harvest trees constantly until out of trees then goto next area and work n so forth but constant.. atm i have to keep resetting their work loads and its a little frustrating lol

i think they need to rework the Work que system for the tribesmen. i don't understand what it means to assign a worker to a station. and then when i do assign an "order" that has no limit the limit is set to 999. 999 is not unlimited and then gets confused if the order is interrupted.

then the workers put output here and there even with types assigned to boxes beside the workbench. workers sometimes have the output in their inventory.

then the workers get stuck or spend all their time in the outhouse.

go to a work station and hit 'd'. set up a job. then assign a worker.

make a map marker then select your tribe person you want to do the work(harvest) select the map marker. you have to hit save work. they will continually do it till they fill up the chest then fill up there inventory and whine they are overloaded lol.
the tutorial on it in game explains it better.

As far as wild gathering goes, you need to setup the storage with filters. As in have boxes for each resource type or individual resource. otherwise, they will just dump it all over the place. It would be nice to be able to tell my nerd to chop trees until a certain amount of logs were collected and so on, but hopefully that will get implemented sooner or later.
