qb. Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'd suggest creating priority with value of [!]. There could be only one (or three...) of these on whole map. It means ALERT, ALERT (in opose of just alert :D). It would mean <open bracket> Whatever you do, leave it and run for [!] and do it ASAP, I MEAN IT, ASAP!!11!!one!one!1!<close bracket>. Technically -> nearest capable dupe has to run for [!] and do it ASAP (now, for some reason they don't do that for nines).

Ecu Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Honestly, I don't really see a purpose to this. You can essentially achieve this already by not using priority nine and then just setting a priority nine when you need something done right away. As such, this would be rather redundant.

Kasuha Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I understand the motivation, I got some dupes suffocating or stranded in dangerous conditions. But I believe it doesn't happen often enough (shouldn't happen anyway) to not be worth some manual hassle. It can be achieved with current options, if you don't "abuse" priority 9 for everything like some youtubers do. Pause, priority 9, red alert, and a short Move To command on all nearby dupes so they drop whatever are doing and pick up the task.

qb. Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I am not abusing nines (edit: for sometime now :D). Remember that dupes won't leave their work with 'standard' priority. This ought to be the main feature here.

tehMugwump Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I've always left '9' for emergency over all other things, so when I want something done now, I hit it with a 9 and all dupes have always dropped what they're doing and run for it....

And it will be your emergency task if it's still available.
