Workbench: Unfinished items

[🥇 Xaxoon 🥇]

Hi,
my workbenches are sourrounded by unfinished items. Insteed of finishing one og that items, my settlers prefer to go for new raw meterials and start to produce my ordered new items, but most of the time they dont finish them at all. any suggestions? I have no idea ...

They wont finish anything anyone else has started. This applies to the works of dead colonists as well (so remember to cancel the unfinished works of any dead people).
I also think that if you change the bills while a work is unfinished, they may leave it idle while they start work on the new top priority bill.

Thank you for your answer, that means after a while there are stacks of unfinished things on the floor? damn :-)

If it gets too bad, you can individually select and cancel any partially made item that you don't want any more to get the materials back.

Thank you for your help dude

Or you can prioritze the work bench for each of the guys that have unfinished work forcing them to clear up the backlog.

You can also set various skills (let's say 2-4) for crafting useless things that will go for sale, to improve your guy's skill, and if you have an other crafter that has higher skills, (let's say 5-20) to make all the important stuff you will use.

I often set that between the stonecutting bench (0-6) and the other benches (smithing, tailoring...) as they are all related to same skill, crafting... I also set, on the tailoring bench, the head stuff (hat, tuque) from 6-7, and the rest of other clothes 7-20 (same logic goes with smithing with some small waepons like knife, bows, clubs that will go for sale, 6-8, and other more important stuff 9-20)

Doing so will prevent guys from starting multiple same items like pants if you ordered 6 pants and 4 hats...

That was so unnecessarily confrontational.

Let's get a lock on this. Please and thank you.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
