https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=935982361 there's another mod that adds a button that links two crafting benches, cannot find it from home. tag me if this mod doesn't help, I'll find the other one.
Yeah that's the one I'm using. My problem with it (not a "problem" really, but it's not what I'm looking for) is that if you add something new to the main workbench you still have to go and link that order to the other ones, and if you build a new bench you need to go and copy everything again. If you were low on cloth for example and wanted to stop using it altogether you'd have to check all of your clothing, medicine, fabrication, whatever to make sure there were no orders.
What I'm looking for is something like a master production terminal. You tell it you want a pair of pants, line of yayo and 10 lavish meals, then it'll send the orders to the tailor bench, drug bench and stove. Building a second stove would automatically add the bill to keep the meals stocked. I just want one place where every pending work order is listed. And we're getting further into wish list territory here but it'd be ideal if you needed a pawn to go and confirm the orders to send them where they need to go.
I realise this is pretty specific and I don’t think it exists at the moment, so like I said I'd be willing to commission it if any modders are up for it.
god yes
Colony Manager does not this but similar things. Could be worth making a feature request to them?
I had to go back and check to make sure I wasn't misremembering the old mod but I did mention Colony Manager, it used to do this back in a much earlier version, but it hasn't been possible for ages. The tutorial video for the production tab is still there on the mod page. It stopped getting updated due to a lack of time and some people have asked for it back over the years. Having seen it in action in the past is probably why I want it so much now.
No, sorry, I don't have another mod for this. But I used to. Cannot find it.
No worries, thanks for checking.
