Tidy Zones

[ImpalerWrG]

A zone is a permanent area designation placed by the player which may generate jobs within it on certain conditions being met.  Unlike a one time design to dig or build a zone is able to repeatedly generate jobs in this area without any building or other normal focal point of job creation.  The zone has a priority setting which dictates what priority any job created in it has and zones are viewed in a new tab or as part of the room tab though rooms and zones are separate concepts that do not directly interact and can overlap.  Zones have to be manually removed, they are not removed by any building, construction, mining, flooding or dismantling because they are attached directly to the maps grid system not objects.

The first and most necessary zone is called the TIDY ZONE, which simply creates jobs to SWEEP, DISINFECT and MOP so as to alleviate us from the need to constantly designate them manually in areas we want cleaned consistently.  Other types of Zones might exist too but the basic concept of zones is an essential part of any game of this type.

Agreed, how ever I would prefer if SWEEP, DISINFECT, and MOP each had their own zone or were checkable options for the zone.

Woh, I just posted something like 30 seconds ago that's very similar to this regarding moping. I like where your heads at.

Id summarize everything like this to "Please, add auto-mop mechanics"  \o/

I recently proposed robots be able to be assigned an auto-tidy function (sweep all loose slime, mop any water, etc).  A zone would make more sense, though, since it would take the need to research and build robots out of the equation so that everyone can benefit from the feature.
