Assigning wheelbarrows (and other container items) to dwarves
« on: January 27, 2013, 12:47:29 pm »
Pretty simple, really. The idea is to be able to assign wheelbarrows to dwarves that would perform their tasks faster and better with them then just carrying the needed items by hand. Imagine how fast master mason Urist McUrist could build a wall if he had a wheelbarrow all to him/herself, or how fast farmer dwarves could plant seeds or harvest crops with wheelbarrow or bag assignments!

Ah, yes, another wheelbarrow improvement/expansion thread.

Something like this makes sense.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I rather like this idea; I've noticed that containers can slow my dwarves down by adding a longer path. Urist Mc.Farmer will leave the farm to run to the food stockpile to get a barrel so he can pick the succulent little plump helmet, put it in the barrel and return it to the stockpile. Carrying around containers is planned for the dwarven economy if I remember correctly though.
