What is this?
Got tired of manually clicking "Hey, this exact person should do this exact craft"? Want for your best crafter to never waste time on cutting stones or smelting metal? Want your second best crafter to pump out daggers like its skyrim? So, this mod is for you!
Allows for selecting range of colonist with multiple modes!
How to use:
1. Create bill
2. Set mode to "Any Worker" (yeah, it doesn't work on "Anyone" mode added by Better Workbench Management mod)
3. Set checkbox on "Use TOP"
4. Click on Configure Filter
Possible settings with Filters:
Mode: Top
Positive number: Allow TOP X of your colonists to get the task. So if you set number 2, then 2 of your best skilled colonist that are set to do this task, will take on the task!
Negative number: Allow ANYONE BUT TOP X of your colonist to get the task. So if you set number to -1; then everyone BUT your best colonist will be able to take this task!
Positive/Negative percentage: Same as number, but for percentage of your total colonist (at least one). So, setting value to 50% (and by having 6 colonists in colony) will explicity tell that "top 3 of your colonists allowed to do the task", or setting -50% will say (anyone but your best top 50%) - allows accounting for growing colony! :)
Mode: Bottom
Positive number: Allow BOTTOM X of your colonists to get the task. Perfect for all those useless colonists to set them to chop stone non-stop.
Negative number: Allow ANYONE BUT BOTTOM X.
Percentages work the same.
Mode: Exact
Positive number: Use only colonist with skill at exact position. So value = 2 will pick only a single colonist - your SECOND BEST at skill. Absolutely worth to make protege tasks and teach your secondary crafter!
Negative number: Exact position from the bottom. So, value of -3 will pick your third worst colonist. Dunno why you would want that, but sure.
Percentages: Funky, but, hey, they should work the same, too! 50% of 6 colonist will pick third best colonist.
You also can say to account best from downed and imprisoned pawns. So if your best crafter suddenly gets downed/gets a timeout in jail, nobody would take his place as best crafter.
