Personal Running Stations (& Athletic Stress Relief)

[Sasuga]

I would like to be able to assign Manual Power Generators the same way beds can be assigned (Public/Private). It would be nice if I could assign a few individuals to a single M.G. but the ability to make it to on specific Dupe or Public (like beds) would be enough for me.

While I'm at it, I would also like to suggest a PERK for Dupes, that the relieve stress by using a Manual Generator. Like being Buff or having Iron Lungs, a Dupe might get the trait that they relieve stress by running in general. Which would make them great Couriers as well, but whether its delivering something or running in a M.G. the Dupe with the trait would reduce their stress level by doing athletics. (This would not be in place of their negative trait, such as Destructive, etc.)

I just want to be able to tune-up my manual generators without having to micromanage.

I'm not talking about tune-up. I'm talking about who runs in it, like beds.  I also, if you read, suggested that it be like-beds public or private. You don't have to micro manage the beds, you don't have to micro manage the message tables, but you can if you want to. I'm asking for the same for the Manual Generators.

In the interim, you could set them behind doors with specific permissions.  That is probably the closest you can currently get to assigning specific MG to specific dupes until they add such a feature.

I considered that, and may do it for some things, but restricting the movement of the others Dupes or placing the M.G.'s in an 'out of the way' area is more problem than solving for me.

Its really more for early game for me, that I would like it.  I know I can set Dupes to Operate or not Operate, but... Well, I'd like to have my Researcher, for example, work the M.G. next to their station, as well as keeping that station near the Out Houses, but I don't want the Researcher running off an operating another M.G. on the opposite side of the map, for Example.

 

Its not a big deal, I work with what I've got and the game is still in Beta (and still AWESOME for being that, I'm super excited about what this game can become). Its just a luxury I'd like added in and don't see how it would break the game or anything.

I don't want to lock my Researcher in, or lock the other Dupes out... Because the researcher needs to get food and use the out house, etc. And the other dupes deliver dirt and water.

I could setup a whole area for the researcher to be by themselves, but that's a mid to late game thing.

Again, just a luxury feature I'd like to see added that shouldn't be game breaking.

I'm looking for this feature for Early game use, before I unlock Internal Combustion for example.
