orders
======
A plugin for manipulating manager orders.
Subcommands:
:list: Shows the list of previously exported orders, including the orders library.
:export NAME: Exports the current list of manager orders to a file named ``dfhack-config/orders/NAME.json``.
:import NAME: Imports manager orders from a file named ``dfhack-config/orders/NAME.json``.
:clear: Deletes all manager orders in the current embark.
:sort: Sorts current manager orders by repeat frequency so daily orders don't
prevent other orders from ever being completed: one-time orders first, then
yearly, seasonally, monthly, then finally daily.
Tags:
:dfhack-keybind:`orders`
Manage manager orders.
Usage:
``orders orders list``
Shows the list of previously exported orders, including the orders library.
``orders export <name>``
Saves all the current manager orders in a file.
``orders import <name>``
Imports the specified manager orders. Note this adds to your current set of
manager orders. It will not clear the orders that already exist.
``orders clear``
Deletes all manager orders in the current embark.
``orders sort``
Sorts current manager orders by repeat frequency so repeating orders don't
prevent one-time orders from ever being completed. The sorting order is:
one-time orders first, then yearly, seasonally, monthly, and finally, daily.
You can keep your orders automatically sorted by adding the following command to
your ``onMapLoad.init`` file::
repeat -name orders-sort -time 1 -timeUnits days -command [ orders sort ]
Exported orders are saved in the ``dfhack-config/orders`` directory, where you
can view, edit, and delete them, if desired.
Examples
--------
``orders export myorders``
Export the current manager orders to a file named
``dfhack-config/orders/myorders.json``.
``orders import library/basic``
Import manager orders from the library that keep your fort stocked with
basic essentials.
The orders library

DFHack comes with a library of useful manager orders that are ready for import:

This collection of orders keeps a small stock of all types of rock furniture.
This allows you to do ad-hoc furnishings of guildhalls, libraries, temples, or

stock on hand to fulfill the plans.

Similar to ``rockstock`` above, this collection keeps a small stock of all types
of glass furniture. If you have a functioning glass industry, this is more
sustainable than ``rockstock`` since you can never run out of sand. If you have
plenty of rock and just want the variety, you can import both ``rockstock`` and
``glassstock`` to get a mixture of rock and glass furnishings in your fort.
