autohauler¶
Command: autohauler
Automatically manage hauling labors.
Similar to autolabor, but instead of managing all labors, autohauler only addresses hauling labors, leaving the assignment of skilled labors entirely up to you. You can use the in-game manipulator UI or an external tool like Dwarf Therapist to do so.
Idle dwarves who are not on active military duty will be assigned the hauling labors; everyone else (including those currently hauling) will have the hauling labors removed. This is to encourage every dwarf to do their assigned skilled labors whenever possible, but resort to hauling when those jobs are not available. This also implies that the user will have a very tight skill assignment, with most skilled labors only being assigned to just a few dwarves and almost every non-military dwarf having at least one skilled labor assigned.
Autohauler allows a skill to be used as a flag to exempt a dwarf from autohauler’s effects. By default, this is the unused ALCHEMIST labor, but it can be changed by the user.
