Battle Stations

Description
Assign battle stations for your survivors and robots. Reduces tedium by using a single action to draft a survivor or robot and have them report to their assigned battle station. Multiple units of the same type can be selected and ordered to report to their battle stations.

Optionally, if you enable the mod option `Use Work Areas` you can assign additional battle stations per work area. This feature adds extra complexity and should only be enabled if required. The global work area is the same battle station that was used with the `Use Work Areas` option disabled.

With `Use Work Areas` enabled you can then assign seperate battle stations by assigning a unit to a work area. Assigning and clearing a unit's battle station will affect only their currently assigned work area. If a unit is selected and instructed to report to their battle station they will move to the battle station associated with their currently assigned work area. They will report to one assigned to global if their currently assigned work area does not have a battle station assigned. If the unit doesn't have a global battle stations assigned then they will not be drafted or recalled.

The more practical use of the work area battle station is located on the work area flag. There will be an option to recall all units that have a battle station assigned for this work area. The units don't need to be currently assigned to that work area for recall. Their assigned work area will also not be changed during recall. Currently drafted units will also not be recalled.

It works very well. Highly appreciate this MOD, a must have especially with moons, providing a high frequency of attacks. Thank You for this solution, thumbs up

does this still work?

It's unlikely that I will add any additional features. Survivors shouldn't do other things while drafted? Did something change in the game? I haven't played in a while.

@SpoiledInk13 I noticed when I select all battle bots I cant ask them to go to the battle stations collectively. Another thing is after the survivors are at the battle station they then go back to their duties automatically which is frustrating during a battle

@SpoiledInk13 great mod helps save time with the deployment of bots and survivors. I was hoping you could add when a bot is destroyed, the new bot built on that same station goes automatically to the same assigned battle station when ordered. Also is there a way to add a column list for all bots and be able to group certain battle bots?

@SpoiledInk13 Thank you... never played with work areas, didn't even know it had "features" :(

I'll try that out.

You can do that by using the use work area feature. The button is located on the work area flag.

Working very well, thank you. Super appreciated - especially with the ongoing advancements.

Is it possible to have a button that is, basically, the general sounding of battle stations? One button, and everyone with an assigned post goes to their assigned post.

Yay! Thanks for the update.

I have no2 entered the field of battle about 8 times since the update, and it has worked 100% perfectly.

I know you know it should, but I wanted to report that I'm seeing the same thing. (It's even a pre-existing save. The same one where I reported that crazy behaviour earlier)
