Priorities for generators to tinker

[Tobruk]

Generators have built-in priority of 5 that cannot be changed. Meaning, that if you have any other operating errands (like running a metal refinery), generators won't be tinkered that often, even if your electricians have operating at >>.

Changing that priority would help immensely.

There's a way to change the priority for generators that don't need duplicant operation :

1. Pause the game
2. Ask to deconstruct the generator
3. Change the priority
4. Cancel the deconstruction

 

Talking of tinkering. I think, on my side, that an electrical engeneer should always try to tinker a generator before using it.

But currently, if you setup the same priority on the power control station and on generators, the generators seems to be more important. Even if they produce less without tuning.

That might be beacause some of the generators won`t work at all if not operated, like manual gens. This maybe why dupes prioritise the generator itself before the power station.
