Without Priority

[Kabrute]

Dupes wont do it

Its not a bug because you took the priority away from it, so that is intended but its not being filled as long as any other work needs doing........ thats just broken wrong, I should not need to set one of my starting dupes to supplier only on day 1 to get a bathroom working............... Research, bathrooms, and I don't even know how many other buildings still have priorities, why take this One away?  Setting a supplier did nothing, they start filling in every other order first, no matter what it is

Canceled All other work

and the freakin MINHER gets the water, i'm done. your jobs aren't hammered out and buildings that worked are now broken.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Just use the "strict priority * " on the end.

yeah, i'ma do a full uninstall reinstall because I don't have that ## A clean re-install fixed it, time for bug report?

Yah, that will be new user friendly.  Dupes dont do what you need on day1 unless you use strict priority manually?  Ouch.

I didn't say it wasn't stupid   And I really do think the new level of added complexity is asinine.

you also missed the most important part of my OP

It kind of looks like a few buildings and tasks lack the display of the new priority bar - sweeping being one of them. It's probably got to do with when those things were added to those items to begin with. I go in a prioritize these manually in the meantime.

Also, build orders seem to sticky themselves to a priority ( building priority mode remembers priority across different building orders ).

I think what's happened is they've hidden every other numerical priority and assigned it to duplicant training. That's how I would have done this. They oriented at 2, and so if everything is at two as it was at 5, then duplicant specialties would be a 6. They abstracted it into two different 1-5 scales.

What would be a help is to have the priorities color coded to their profession ( I guess they skipped this since they're adding more ). As it stands we actually gained 1 extra priority level, now if they were to add the 0 level to not do something, that would be nice.

i.e. Sweep 0 priority - never pick this up. No touchies!

Technically no, they didn't actually add any levels of priority because its now (Job specific vs Not Job Specific) and if a dupe has no job it will do job specific jobs or not job specific jobs depending on its 1-5 priority, from what I have been seeing.  Once they get a job they get a bit wonky

I think the 2 weeks of preview will be useful for sorting this stuff out, I'm sure after a couple of weeks of feedback and adjustments we will all be much more satisfied with the system.
