I’m looking for a mod that’ll let me set up a master list of work bills that can be done by multiple pawns across multiple workstations without having to edit the bills list of each one. Does this exist?

I currently use a mod (one of Dub’s I want to say?) that can clone and link bills, but you still have to set up each workbench individually and remember to link anything new you add so it still gets tedious in a large colony. Something used to do this iirc, possibly Fluffy’s Colony Manager, but I’m sure it didn’t in the previous verstion or two and I’ve only started getting into 1.5 in the last week so I’m not sure if anything new has popped up.

Alternatively, if this isn’t already a thing and anyone’s up for making it I’d be happy to throw some money your way.

Thanks.

      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.

        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.
