autohauler
==========
Autohauler is an autolabor fork.
Rather than the all-of-the-above means of autolabor, autohauler will instead
only manage hauling labors and leave skilled labors entirely to the user, who
will probably use Dwarf Therapist to do so.
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 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 one dwarf, no dwarf having more than two
active skilled labors, and almost every non-military dwarf having at least
one skilled labor assigned.
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 skills to be flagged as to prevent hauling labors from
being assigned when the skill is present. By default this is the unused
ALCHEMIST labor but can be changed by the user.
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.
Usage:
- ``enable autohauler``
Start managing hauling labors.
- ``autohauler status``
Show autohauler status and status of fort dwarves.
- ``autohauler <labor> haulers``
Set whether a particular labor should be assigned to haulers.
- ``autohauler <labor> allow|forbid``
Set whether a particular labor should mark a dwarf as exempt from hauling.
By default, only the ``ALCHEMIST`` labor is set to ``forbid``.
- ``autohauler reset-all|<labor> reset``
Reset a particular labor (or all labors) to their default
haulers/allow/forbid state.
- ``autohauler list``
Show the active configuration for all labors.
- ``autohauler frameskip <number>``
Set the number of frames between runs of autohauler.
- ``autohauler debug``
In the next cycle, output the state of every dwarf.
Examples:
- ``autohauler HAUL_STONE haulers``
Set stone hauling as a hauling labor (this is already the default).
- ``autohauler RECOVER_WOUNDED allow``
Allow the "Recover wounded" labor to be manually assigned by the player. By
default it is automatically given to haulers.
- ``autohauler MINE forbid``
Don't assign hauling labors to dwarves with the Mining labor enabled.
