How To Sweep Specific Items...

[kagemusharanger]

So when I want to sweep specific items ie fruits vs. seeds, how do I sweep without sweeping everything? Or without having to click individual itesm?

[!?!]

You can't.
No sweeping filters implemented yet.

Make a storage unit and set it to only allow 1 type of item. Then increase the priority of that storage unit and dupes will sweep whatever it is first. If you have multiple storage units with the same item they all have to be the same priority otherwise dupes will just swap items from the lower priority container into the higher priority.

Also if you just set a storage unit to P9 for that item (without sweep tasks) anyone with the sweep job will prioritize picking it up over everything else so you don't even need to assign a sweep command.

I generally do this for things like rot piles, slime, polluted dirt and other things that emit so they get cleaned up asap without requiring me to intervene.
