Template:NeedsPictures A bill is used to:
- request work to be done at a workstation
- request an operation on a pawn
Bill management
Bills at workstations and on pawns can be managed with the following general commands:
- Delete a bill: Click the red X.
- Suspend or resume a bill: Click the yellow S.
- Change the order of bills: Click the yellow up or down triangles.
Notes:
- Bills are worked in top-down order. Bills missing an ingredient will be skipped. Once a bill is satisfied, the next one will be worked.
- Hovering over a bill with a restricted ingredient radius will outline the limited area (if small enough to see on screen).
Bills at workstations
Besides general commands, bills at workstations have these additional commands:
- Change the quantity or repetitions: Click -/+
- Change the mode: Choose 'Do X times', 'Do until you have X', 'Do forever'.
Modes
- 'Do X times' (The remaining repetitions is shown to the left.)
- 'Do until you have X' (The quantity you currently have and have requested is shown to the left.)
- This mode has an option to 'Pause when satisfied' which pauses the bill when the set quantity is reached. (Items not in a stockpile are not counted.)
- 'Unpause at: x' will automatically resume a paused bill when the quantity drops to that number.
- These settings allow you to keep from having too much or too little of a given product, with little or no further management.
- 'Do forever'
