Sasuga Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'd like a drop down menu to the right hand side of the arrows that are to the right of Storage, where I can create a sort of 'jobs' (except jobs are already a thing) and immediately change the priorities of a Dupe based on the presets I create. So, I could create a Scientist that primaries research, even with the Wrench if they have that Job in the JOBS menu, and secondary's Operate. Then,save that as "Scientist" or whatever I want to call it. Then when I pick it on the right-hand side of the drop-down menu of Priorities, it immediately sets it. The priorities can become very confusing right now, especially when you're managing a lot of dupes. Being able to look at a name for their 'Priority Set' or whatever one wants to call it, would help to assure that everyone is doing the jobs I want them to do. Being able to name the sets to whatever I want, maybe with an option at the bottom of the drop-down for each dupe's set, of "create" and maybe a "delete" or something, I could name it "Nails" if I want to, and then see that "Nails" is indeed set to "Nails" ... While a new dupe I just brought in from the printer would be set to "Default" which, and I'd see that and know I need to setup the new Dupe. And if I wanted to, I could pick the drop down by clicking on the 'Default' next to the new Dupe, and change it to "Nails" if I wanted to, and now the new Dupe would be doing the same priorities of Nails. Again, it would be very helpful for managing lots of Dupes to know their priorities are set a certain way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 There was an idea a while ago to make groups for dupes. A group would store priorities, food permissions and even door permissions. Upon printing a dupe you could add him to a group and he will get all the settings in one click. After that each thing can be individually modified for each dupe or for the whole group.

LeftyRighty Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 if it helps it's how Active Directory and many other permissions systems work in the real world, so yeah would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmower Man Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I believe these are typically called "roles". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasuga Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Roles! Good name for it, yes! Something like that would be great. And if I modified it for an individual dupe, they'd not be called that "Role" any longer... It would say something like "Unique" or something, but yeah! That would be great!
