How do i craft multiple objects at once? I.e - beds.

[Malaris]

I'm brand new to the game. Kind of loosely doing the in game tutorial. How do i go about crafting multiple beds. The only options i see are "craft 1" and "repeat indefinitely"

What if i just want to craft like 8 beds?

You could use a work order if you have a manager, once you assign a manager in the nobles screen click on the third tab and add a work order for what you want to craft, it will default to 10 but can be changed to any number you want. Other than that you'd just need to repeatedly make 1

On the workshops themselves, it's either one by one or repeat until you run out of resources.
You can however appoint a manager in the nobles and administrators menu and build them an office (a room with a chair), which lets you create work orders. Those work orders are what you want and will be sent automatically to your workshops once processed by the manager.

Go to the nobles screen and make a dwarf a manager.
Then give the dwarf a little office - a room with a chair, maybe a table.
Then you will have the "o" menu, which is the orders menu. There you can set orders for all things dwarfs can craft or do and set the amounts right there. After that the workshops will automatically create orders and do them if you have the materials.

First, set a manager in the nobility tab (the crown button on the UI at the bottom left)
Then go to the "work orders" tab in a workshop, choose an item, and click the hashtag/pound sign icon, and set a number. Your workers will attempt to automatically keep that number of that item in stock.
