Colonist jobs in a big(ish) colony.

[Miasmic]

So, I am sitting at around 330 colonists. At this point it is getting pretty tough to keep track of jobs when someone dies. I've got these two archers that I respawned who cant find a path.....well neither can I xD. I have no idea where they belong anymore. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=962784889
I have spent 30 minutes looking throughout my colony and cant find any empty quivers.
So I cant even remove them to reassign their job task lol. Its got me wondering if I recruited the 46 I lost at once too quickly and their job assignments got mixed up....and yes 46, I ran out of arrows like a boob xD.

So this got me thinking that maybe some sort of management list is needed.
One that would just tell you simply how many of each job that you currently have, because locations would be extremely difficult and would require a map etc.
But if I had numbers I could at least count and make sure I'm not crazy.

It would also help with just overall management of the colony in general knowing how many of each job type you had. Its easy to keep track of yourself at the beginning, but once you start breaking into the hundreds, its quite difficult. Maybe we could implement some sort of "highlight" feature that just puts a highlighted border around empty work stations?

reminds me of an error in my game:
short circut killed me PC
started game
all farmes had wheat but nor farming area around them (pretty annoying to fix bc i had to remove all seeds)
all beds are placed but didnt counted towards the bed count
2 archers are standing aroung saying they had no path and all quivers had an archer...
now i have 2 idiots standing on top of a tower searching for their purpose in life

For that, try placing a crate close to their farm (if you have not). That has worked for myself and at least one other person in the forums.
