Dupes really seem to like muckroot!!!

[DyingCrow]

This is more of a joke story, just something i observed while messing around with sandbox.

I built them a luxury hotel, with all luxury amenities, and gave them tons of great food. While i was setting up some gadgets in the mess hall while not breaking the stress relief bonus, i observed something very, very peculiar; the dupes were going off their way to grab muckroots and eating them, instead of eating the other good stuff right there.

Then they were talking crap... go figure

that's why you need to set the food priorities straight - good food only for he good dupes .. so much micro management required ... priorities for actions ... for food, jobs, subpriorities for each task ... and I hate the sub priority control - how do i make sweeping all those dug up goodies priority 9 without clicking each individually?

You select sweeping, set the subprioity, then choose a group of items with one mouse sweep. 

I tend to just have one specialized dupe who can only do tidy and storage and don't usually need to bother with manual sweeping

But then he would also go and store fresh food from farms ... which I guess shouldn't be accessible to him .... anyways it's a base design issue as well, I suppose. You need separation of labor.
