Workorders and Moving Workshops

[Vater]

I wanted to move one of my outdoor workshops underground so I disassembled it. When I rebuilt it, I had to reassign a worker and the work orders weren't associated with the workshop. BUT I do have a manager and the work orders do appear in the work orders screen. Do I need to recreate those on the new workshop or will they automatically be created?

If the work order was not created at a specific workshop, it should be sent to new workshops automatically.

Ah, so if I create the work order using the aggregated work order UI they will still work. But if I go through a workshop's UI, they won't work after moving the shop. Thanks!

To you as the player it is "moving" the workshop, but as far as the game is concerned you removed a workshop and built another workshop somewhere else, they just happen to be of the same type.
There is no such thing as moving a workshop.

Global work orders distribute the tasks among all workshops of the same type that can accept the work order (you can limit how many global work order a specific workshop can receive, down to 0 if you want).

So if you want a specific workshop to handle a specific work order, you create it through that workshop's work order tab, if you want any/all workshops of that type to work on the task you create the work order from the work orders menu instead.
