Priority modification from duplication selection window

[Raukgorth]

Please add a window when a duplicant is selected in main game screen that would allow to change priorities for that one duplicant.

 

Use case:

Duplicant is stuck and dying of suffocation. I click on the notification and game brings me to the duplication. Then I have to open priorities screen and hunt them there to allow them to dig and build.

I would like to change their priorities directly from duplicant selection window.

Why would you disallow them from digging and building in the first place? Would giving them a very low priority be enough?

Hey Sasza22,

To answer your query:

I have lots very specialized duplicants in my games.

I like to force efficiency and cut on travel time by disallowing tasks they are very bad at and should not be doing.

I prefer having some build orders to be left unpicked by my cooks and farmers and allow them to stay near their areas.

 

Using the priorities screen while having 27 duplicants is hard. That is way I am suggesting having a shortcut to modify priorities from another UI element.

It could be easier on the UI if the "todo" list category headers had buttons that let you increase and decrease the priority.

There's plenty of space on the right hand side of the headers.
