There a way to set up a production queue, make x till y?

LIke in Rimworld, to keep a stock of something.

The gear button for queue crafting. It sets up the queue so it makes x items every y hours. So you could set it up so that only 100 Charcoal is made every day.

Yeah, the make X items per Y hours system they went with is really odd. I don't like it at all because I have to GUESS how many I'm going to need. If I can simply set X minimum items then my villagers will craft until the number I have in storage hits X, then they will stop until it goes below X. Makes it super easy to maintain minimums for tools, food, etc. that way instead of having to hope that making 25 items every 4 hours is going to be enough, but not too much...

I am aware of the gear button, but like Macdallan said, it is odd, I thought there might be some other way I missed. Oh well, something to tell them work on.

True, having an option in queue to build until we have a minimum x quantity available would be great.

I'd say it's mandatory unless you want a micromanagement hell

+1, I had expectations to have same as in Rimworld. I don't need over thousands of weapons etc.

Then make less than that? You don't have to queue up a daily build, you can make 10 of something and just leave it lmao.

This is completely reasonable. I want to make sure we have spare tools in the chest.

Over time, if we keep making 25 everyday, the entire chest might be full of one tool. Wow, thats so funny!

Yeah, just make them as you need them. Crafting times aren't exactly long lmao.

Coming from Bellwright not having a top up or maintain system is definitely weird. It'd be a nice feature to add but it seems like it's more useful for efficiency than it is anything else so it's not a high priority in my opinion

[sapling]

Must have feature IMO, it's a basic 'colony management' QOL feature for over 10 years now. Weird it's missing.

why in the nine hells would I want to run around like an idiot checking whether I have component X somewhere in the camp or no, instead of setting it so that I always have it?
I ordered 3 axes but my minions are not crafting them? well, better start rummaging through all the chests to see if there are enough ingots, leathers and handles! such fun!

listen, I understand the want to protect the thing you like from criticism, to some extent, but this is an early access game and it is missing some critical features, like this one. it is within our (yours included) interests to point out these deficiencies so that they can be fixed and game can be better.

Yeah The ability to say "keep 100 woodern planks in stock at all times" would be a lifesaver.
log in and see all your people sat around as you run out of such a basic resource is annoying

The game tells you what ingredients you on't have when you try to craft it, you don't have to go look for them. I'm not saying they shoudln't add the feature I'm explaining how to play without it because it does not yet exist. I never told anybody not to complain.

in that case you should work on how to properly convey your intentions, because "just do this lmao" and "do ♥♥♥♥ manually, it's fast lmao" definitely do not sound like an advice on a temporary workaround.
