Zarquan Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) What do you mean by job subpriorities? Does that mean my farmer won't prioritize farming over other jobs at the same priority?

I can confirm that it works indeed just like the old system. Jobs have now no effect besides perks and hats. This is a huge bummer! I really liked the way jobs and the 1-5* made organising tasks much more efficient and fun. The last update with the softpriorities in 1-9 was a downgrade to that but at least it meant that micromanaging the task matrix wasn't necessary (besides the "all" column). The 1-5* not only made organising tasks more efficient but also easier. Another thing that bothers me is that duplicants don't seem to opt out of sweeping when deselecting the Tidy task. I don't want my whole colony to sweep, I just want it to get done eventually. Now I have to micromanage the priorities and tasks much more again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm super sad about losing the job subpriorities. Having to enable/disable tasks on a per-dupe basis is literally my least favorite thing in the entire game. It's a lot of extra clicking, and it's really opaque to see who's disabled without constant trips to the jobs screen. I loved being able to say "I need more digging right now - swap some dupes over to mining", it felt very natural and it was clear to see what was going on at any given moment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifegrow Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I welcomed the change in pace to be honest, i'm hoping the occupational upgrade still has some focus on progressive learning / progression in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byste Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 To all the people griping about priority. Yeah, there are situations with 1-9 that 1-5* handled better, don't act like 1-5* was great either. You still had situations where if you wanted a task to get done that nobody had a job for, you either had to hat dance or assign a * priority to it and risk messing up people dedicated to their jobs. It's the same kind of fault that people throw around about 1-9 + job subpriority where if you wanted something to get done you had to raise prio on it and anyone might drop what they're doing. The point is, both systems had faults and I think that's why it's just getting scrapped -- for now. It just seems obvious to me that the devs are just taking out the changes to something tried and tested for the meantime, while they come up with a better system later. Can people hold their horses and expectations until later? There's still a bunch of new content with this update to play around with. Priority will come. We should know this by now, since the devs said as much on the 2-2-18 update: On 2/2/2018 at 1:13 PM, Ipsquiggle said: Just a quick note regarding priority: in addition to implementing Duplicant Jobs this update, we also tried to tackle some of the thorny issues of Priority. We felt it was a natural fit that Jobs also affect priority, but we haven’t been happy with the side effects. In particular, it was hard to understand, and now that we've added the ability to retain mastery it didn’t make much sense anymore, so we are going to backburner reviewing priorities for a later update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xordus Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 What the heck?!? They added jobs, improved priority tasking, and a couple days later scrapped the whole thing?!? 1-5 didn't fix the priority problem but Job Priorities added a lot. It removed some of the micromanagement pressure and gave jobs a purpose other than a hat and stat. Why in the world axe all of this work?? I can understand further improving the system or maybe even overhauling it again down the line, but why void all of this work that they've done? I don't understand the problem, it's complicated to understand? The whole game is complicated, why is this suddenly a bridge too far? I don't mind waiting for further development but its pretty lame to offer this improvement and then just scrap it all a few days later, especially when the alternative is just lame hats for the sake of stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krop Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 the <style="research"> tag is used for jobs strings, shouldn't that be <style="misc"> instead ? eg in STRINGS.BUILDINGS.PREFABS.ROLESTATION.EFFECT or STRINGS.MISC.NOTIFICATIONS.ROLEMASTERED.LINE Also, '\t' is still used in a couple strings (vs. 2*nbsp everywhere else) : STRINGS.MISC.NOTIFICATIONS.NEWTRAIT.TOOLTIP, STRINGS.MISC.NOTIFICATIONS.RESEARCHCOMPLETE.MESSAGEBODY, STRINGS.UI.DETAILTABS.DETAILS.CONTENTS_DISEASED, STRINGS.UI.DETAILTABS.DETAILS.CONTENTS_ROTTABLE They appear as '\t' ingame.

We should know this by now, since the devs said as much on the 2-2-18 update: I think the best solution to that would be for Jobs to be more general at first, and then start getting more specific the higher you go (as you get more dupes) You kinda see that with the Engineer line, but you could apply it to others. That way, important tasks that at the moment lie outside of the first jobs most players would assign (like, cleaning the toilet) are still done without having to fiddle with priorities within the first couple of cycles just to get the base to run like normal. Like for example, have the base builder job also do engineering work, the base Gofer job also prioritize tidy jobs, and the base digger job also does farming. Then when you go up the job list, you can assign a dupe to only do building or engineering, supply or tidy, etc. Edited February 6, 2018 by Foefaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddoy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 "Removed Job-related subpriorities altogether, due to further knock-ons and hard-to-discern Dupe behaviour" This makes me (and presumably most other people) super sad. I know a lot of people are complaining but it is something worth complaining about. Job-related subpriorities was previewed and is what I would consider the best feature added to ONI. Then it seems to have been taken out because a minority couldn't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it seems to have been taken out because a minority couldn't figure it out. I would take polls with a grain of salt. I think the reason they rolled it back was because there were issues with how it worked. However, I think even with the problems it was working better than the simple 1-9, at least for those of us who don't want to micromanage every single task we assign. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out and put back in soon. I didn't realize how bad the 1-9 system was until I got a taste of the new priorities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
