Can't Fix Leaks

[Samael]

Whenever I send repairmen into a leaking building, they immediately leave, with only one repairman staying behind. Also, I can't find any way to quickly find repairmen as no idle/patrolling button is available and they don't show up in the list of important characters.

If repairmen immediately leave a building it's because you need to disable 'autorepair' before sending them inside. Only repairmen that are standing around will show up as being idle, we can certainly discuss adding a patrolling icon that replaces the idle icon if there are no idle repairmen similar to how it works with gangsters. Do you see any idle icons for characters at all? If you're not seeing them then you need to enable them in the options menu in 'config'. This was made as a toggle function because not everyone likes them.

Could you clarify what you mean by repairmen not showing in the important character list? They are always displayed, if they are not showing then you might have many characters already in your town and the list might be scrolled to the right. Push scrolling the screen will adjust the position of the list.

Thank you! I do see idle icons for other characters. One thing I found though is when selecting several repairmen at once, I couldn't actually turn off automation, unless the general Stop button does that. As for the the important character list, I think it wasn't showing the whole list of characters at the time - is there a way to to have it show more as the mouse wheel and moving the camera didn't seem to help.

You'll have to select the individual repairmen to disable it. Not sure if we can enable disabling automatic repairs when groups are selected because it may have other knock-on effects that break something else, or cases where there is a mixture of autorepair and non autorepair repairmen. Should it enable or disable the function? We'll look into the feasibility.

The character list by default shows all characters on your team in order of their profession with foremen being at the top of the list and then workers being at the bottom. When the list is exceptionally long you may scroll it left or right by pushing the cursor to the left or right edge of the screen. We appreciate this is not very elegant and are more than happy to look at a better integration in future.

One thing you should note is that there is a button in the important character screen that when pressed toggles between showing characters or undesirables. It's the button that looks like a magnifying glass over a house.

Kind regards
