Can't automate Orders

[MattDkillsu]

I wanted to do a factory that only produced gloves. So my plan was to automate everything in the glove factory before I started a new factory. When I went to setup order automation I ran across an issue. I wanted to reject all orders from "Available Orders" tab that included other items that I was not producing, such as, 9mm, Backpacks, trousers, etc. Unfortunately there is no way to do this... that I know of.

when going through the automation rules, it would be nice to have an option to reject all available orders that i cannot fulfill. for example if its gloves & 9mm (when I have zero 9mm) it cancels the order. Or I could also setup a reject order that rejects any orders with the "Item Quantity owned" equal to zero.. except that I have to select an item to reject, instead of setting a general parameter :/

I am not able to fully automate my factory due to the "available Orders" section populating a bunch of orders with stuff I do not have, and with no way to get rid of these orders except manually, the orders reach its maximum population limit.

This is my first play through but it does seem like a bug.

Ps I would also be great to have an option where I can set the order automation to prioritize orders with the shortest amount of time to fulfill.

Thank You!
I will follow up to any comments!

There was a bug with Order Automation where you couldn't select items other than the initial Camo Glove.

So, after we push this hotfix I believe you can only partially achieve what you need.

- We added an "Exclusive items" option to rules so you can say for example only accept orders that ask for X ONLY.

- Then, to reject the others, hmm, I guess that we don't have an option for example to say "If Order has items other than X" maybe I will add that into the game before the hotfix. As we already have a "Reject Order" option, so if you enable that and setup a rule that says "If Order has other items other than Gloves" you should have all you need.

Thank you for the feedback

I actually opted towards another feature while I was considering this. I basically added an option to an automation rule called "Inverted" This basically means that the rule will execute when the conditions are NOT met, so you basically setup a rule which asks for only gloves and then you tick Inverted and tick Reject Order and it will reject (execute) all orders which don't have "Only gloves".

Happy days and more freedom for rules

Awesome!!! That sounds like the exact fix needed. I appreciate your quick feedback, while on my side uhhh I'm a little late. Sorry! Busy with finals! Glad you understood what I was saying and didn't need further explanation. Haha.

Thank you!
