idle-crafting

This script allows you to mark specific Craftsdwarf’s Workshops for use as “recreational crafting” stations. Dwarves who feel the need to craft objects will be able to go there to independently satisfy their crafting needs without manual intervention from the player.

There will be a toggle on the workshop info sheet (“Tasks”) tab when you select a Craftsdwarf’s Workshop in the UI. More details below.

Usage

idle-crafting [status]

Print statistics about the status of the tool and the satisfaction of “craft item” needs in your fort.

idle-crafting thresholds <number list>

Set the threshold(s) for the “craft item” need (i.e. the negated focus_level) at which the tool starts to generate crafting jobs for a given unit. Units meeting higher thresholds will be prioritized. Defaults to 500,1000,10000.

disable idle-crafting

Disallow idle crafting at all workshops. You can re-enable idle crafting at individual Craftsdwarf’s workshops.

Examples

idle-crafting thresholds 500,1000,10000

Reset thresholds to defaults.

Overlay

This script provides an overlay on the “Workers” tab of Craftsdwarf’s workshops, allowing you to designate that workshop for use by idle dwarves to satisfy their needs to craft objects. Workshops that have a master assigned cannot be used in this way.

When a workshop is designated for idle crafting, this tool will create crafting jobs and assign them to idle dwarves who have a need for crafting objects. This script respects the setting for permitted general work order labors from the “Workers” tab.

For workshops without input stockpile links, bone carving and stonecrafting are supported, with stonecrafting being the default option. Thus, to designate a workshop for bone carving, disable the stonecrafting labor while keeping the bone carving labor enabled.

For workshops with input stockpile links, the creation of totems and horn crafts are supported as well. In this case, the choice of job is made randomly based on the resources available in the input stockpiles (respecting the permitted labors from the workshop profile).
