From the Work menu you can set the types of work you want your colonists to perform, though some colonists cannot perform all tasks. For example, [[Backstories#Medieval lord|nobles]] can only access [[research]] and [[firefighting]] whilst a [[Backstories#Colony settler|settler]] can access all [[skills]].

From the Work menu you can set the types of work you want your colonists to perform and in what order. However, some colonists cannot perform all tasks, and this will be displayed on the menu as well. For example, a [[Backstories#Medieval lord|medieval lord]] can only access [[research]] and [[firefighting]] whilst a [[Backstories#Colony settler|settler]] can access all [[skills]].

For a full breakdown of work types, the work menu, and the options available, see the [[Work]] page.
+
===Manual priorities===
 +
The 'Manual priorities' mode toggles the interface between 'standard mode' (red X) and 'manual mode' (green check).
 +
*Standard mode: Colonists only do work types they're assigned to, noted by a green check. Tasks on the left rank more importantly than tasks on the right.
 +
*Manual mode: Each colonist's work type can be prioritized from 0 (blank) to 4. 1 is the highest priority, 4 is the lowest, and blank tasks will not be performed.

== Schedule ==
+
===Assigning work===
−
[[File:Restrict menu.png|600px|thumb|right|Example of the schedule menu showing schedule and allowed areas (without royalty)]]
+
An efficient colony depends on colonists doing work they're proficient at. Boxes on the work menu are used to assign work, and each box has a visible outline. The higher the colonist's skill, the brighter the outline, ranging from red (worst), to white, to bright yellow (best).  Also, hovering over a skill box displays the colonist's skill level. Each box will also show a colonist's passion for that skill indicated by one or two flames. This will help you decide who you want doing each task. It is a good idea to study your colonists' skills and apply them to their strengths. Using the wrong people will slow down your progression.  
−
The Schedule screen allows the player to schedule an activity for each colonist, for each hour of a 24-hour day. Pawns will continue their current task until finished. Only then will a colonist check their schedule and work tabs for other possible assignments. Task lengths vary.
+
To help keep you from using the wrong colonist for a job, a crunching sound is made when you assign a pawn to a work type which they won't do well due to low skill. Some colonists may not have a box for one or more work types; they are incapable of that work.
  
−
==== Anything ====
+
===Incapable of work types===
 +
Some characters are incapable of certain work and/or certain categories of work (i.e. violent, dumb labor). This is listed under <tt><b>Incapable Of</b></tt> in the character tab. Characters with a skill level 0 in a skill are still capable of performing the relevant task, they will just be ''extremely'' ineffective and inefficient. One exception is that character who are ''incapable of'' plant work can still cut down trees - if it is under blueprints as part of construction work. They'll be exceedingly slow at it, though.
  
−
The pawn will attempt to [[work]] per their priorities unless their [[needs|need]] to [[Recreation|recreate]] falls below 35%, their need to [[Saturation|eat]] falls below 30%, their need to [[rest]] falls below 30%, or their [[psyfocus]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} falls below the player-assigned threshold. When those thresholds are met, they will instead attempt to fulfill those needs. For this setting, if a pawn is already asleep when this schedule begins, they will not wake up and instead continue to sleep until fully rested.  
+
===Prioritizing a task===
 +
A colonist can be directed to immediately perform a task, but only if it's a work type they're assigned to. Select the colonist, right-click a target (such as a blueprint, object, or pawn) and choose an option from the context menu. If no menu appears, then the colonist can't do anything with that target - try another colonist. Multiple tasks can be chained together by holding the Shift key. Queued jobs are shown on the colonist's inspect pane.
  
−
Pawns will continue their current work task until finished, so that the need percentages may fall below the threshold, but when looking for the next task the schedule thresholds will be in effect. The current work task can be manually ended by [[Draft|drafting]] and undrafting the pawn.  
+
===Notes===
 +
*For improved efficiency, colonists do cleaning and harvesting in batches.
 +
*Colonists will only perform work in their [[Zone/Area|allowed area]].

The pawn will attempt to [[work]] per their priorities unless their need to [[Saturation|eat]] falls below 30% and without regard for sleep or recreation. If a pawn is already asleep when this scheduled activity begins, they will wake up to work. Note that when a pawn's rest need reaches zero, they will eventually fall asleep in their current location (e.g., the ground), regardless of their schedule, and wake up at 20% rest need. The pawn will never recreate.

When those thresholds are met, they will instead attempt to fulfill those needs. The pawn will wake up to eat if [[Saturation|eat]] falls below 12.5%.

The pawn will attempt to [[meditate]], preferring to meditate at their assigned [[meditation spot]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or assigning an unassigned spot to themselves. They will meditate until their [[needs|need]] to [[Saturation|eat]] falls below 30% or their need to [[rest]] falls below 15%. When those thresholds are met, they will instead attempt to fulfill those needs. Meditation counts as Solitary type recreation and their recreation need will fill to 100% if able.  If a pawn is already asleep when this scheduled activity begins, they will wake up to meditate. Note that if a pawn's rest need reaches zero, they will fall asleep regardless of their schedule. All pawns can meditate, not just [[psycast]]ers {{RoyaltyIcon}}, and psycaster pawns will not stop a scheduled meditation even when they have met or exceeded their target [[psyfocus]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} level, i.e. meditation will continue to fill the level up its maximum of 100%, even if the target is set lower.

−
Meditation will be scheduled at any recreation need below 100%. Pawns will sporadically perform other tasks if they continuously meditate at 100% recreation need, indicating that this is behavior similar to other schedules, but with a threshold of 100%, and that the work check can sometimes be met. Meditation is a work task with a duration and like the other schedules, pawns will continue their current work task until finished, so that the need percentages may fall below the threshold, but when looking for the next task the schedule thresholds will be in effect.

[[File:Restrict menu.png|600px|thumb|right|Example of the restrict menu showing schedule and allowed areas]]

The Restrictions screen allows the player to schedule an activity for each colonist, for each hour of a 24-hour day.  Activities include: Anything, Work, Recreation, and Sleep.
  
−
The ideal schedule for a pawn varies by the [[trait]]s of the pawn. For example, optimists remain cheery despite less recreation time, and pawns with a [[circadian assistant]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} or an efficient [[bed]] do not need as much sleep.
+
Also, each colonist is assigned to an [[Zone/Area#Allowed area|allowed area]]. By default each colonist is set to 'unrestricted' allowing them to do activities anywhere on the map. Clicking the allowed area box on a colonist's row assigns that colonist to that area. The 'Manage allowed areas' button opens a window where allowed areas may be created, deleted, or renamed. Up to eight allowed areas may be created.

Psycasters{{RoyaltyIcon}} can have hours of recreation in the morning be replaced with mandatory meditation, as meditation counts as recreation. Recreation can be staggered in larger colonies to minimize the chance of all tables being occupied. Night owls should be sleeping from 10 am to 6 pm inclusive to prevent the "night owl at day" debuff and maximize the "night owl at night" buff.

They will automatically switch out damaged apparel for better apparel, or poor-quality apparel for high-quality apparel. A colonist will not automatically equip a personal shield if they have a ranged weapon equipped. If the player manually assigns apparel, the colonist will never remove it until the manual assignment is cleared. In the Gear tab manually assigned apparel is listed as 'forced'. Forced apparel can be cleared using the 'Clear forced' button on the Assign window, allowing colonists to remove them at will.

* '''Food restriction:''' Starting from version 1.0, allows the player to edit and set food policies that can be applied to each colonist.
−
{{Stub|section=1|reason=How exactly does food preference work, both generally and for traits such as ascetic and cannibal? Ideoligions too? Will pawns drop a simple meal for a newly cooked lavish meal? Food restrictions list incomplete}}
 
−
Food Restrictions allow the player to edit and set food policies for different colonists. The default food restriction policy, named Lavish, allows pawns to consume meals of all qualities, pemmican, chocolate, or raw food (if accessible) and forbids human meat and insect meat.
 
−
 
 
−
Hungry Pawns attempt to eat the food that grants them the most mood that they are allowed to eat. If multiple foods grant the same mood the colonist will eat the closest. If the colonist has a meal in their inventory and is starving (below 12.5% food saturation), or if their desired meal is more than approximately 90 cells away, they will eat the meal from their inventory regardless of the inventory meal's quality. After eating, a colonist attempts to refill their food inventory slot with the meal that grants them the most mood allowed by their food restriction.
 
−
 
 
−
There are several default food restrictions as follows:
 
−
:* '''Lavish:''' All food types allowed.
 
−
:* '''Fine:''' All food types except lavish meals, [[carnivore lavish meal]]s, and [[vegetarian lavish meal]]s allowed.
 
−
:* '''Simple:''' All food types except [[packaged survival meal]]s, fine meals, [[carnivore fine meal]]s, vegetarian fine meals, lavish meals, carnivore lavish meals, and vegetarian lavish meals allowed.
 
−
:* '''Paste:''' All meals disallowed except nutrient paste meals. All other food types allowed.
 
−
:* '''Raw:''' [[Chocolate]], [[insect jelly]], [[pemmican]], and all meals disallowed. All other food types allowed, including animal products.
 
−
:* '''Nothing:''' All food types disallowed.

:* '''Vegetarian:''' Corpses, raw meat, carnivore fine meals, carnivore lavish meals, pemmican, and [[kibble]], as well as meals with appetizing meat, human meat, or insect meat disallowed. All other food types allowed.
 
−
:* '''Carnivore:''' All raw vegetables, vegetarian meals, and other meals with a vegetable ingredient disallowed.
 
−
:* '''Cannibal:'''

* '''Drugs:''' Allows the player to edit and set [[Drugs|drug]] policies that can be applied to each colonist.

If a colonist has drug-related trait it is conveniently noted on the drug policy.

−
Allows the player to edit and set [[Drugs|drug]] policies that can be applied to each colonist.
 
−
 
 
−
Note: Pawns on a [[Mental break|drug binge]] may ignore these restrictions and take drugs at will. Pawns on a [[mental break|food binge]] may take drugs for recreation regardless of player settings. Pawns with [[chemical fascination]] or [[chemical interest]] traits are treated as always having "Take drugs for recreation" and "Take drugs for addiction" enabled regardless of setting. If a colonist has drug-related trait it is conveniently noted on the drug policy.
 
−
 
 
−
Pawns can also be told to keep a certain number of doses for each individual drug type. NOTE: Sometimes colonists do not put appropriate drugs in their inventory and the reason why is currently unknown.
 
−
 
 
−
The "For Addiction", "For Recreation" and "Scheduled" check boxes have "OR" functionality. The "Scheduled" options of "Frequency", "Only if mood below" and "Only if recreation below" sliders have "AND" functionality. The "Scheduled" "Frequency" option uses the time since last ingestion and not the time of "last scheduled ingestion".
 
−
 
 
−
A drug set to "For Recreation" can be taken anytime the colonist does Recreation. A drug held in inventory will aways be preferred when taken "For Recreation."
 
−
 
 
−
There are several default drug policies as follows:
 
−
:* '''No drugs:''' No drugs to be kept in inventory. All drugs for addictions. No drugs for recreation. No drugs scheduled.
 
−
:* '''Social drugs:''' No drugs to be kept in inventory. All drugs except for [[beer]] and [[smokeleaf joint]]s for addictions. Beer and smokeleaf joints available for recreation. No drugs scheduled. Despite also being [[social drugs]], [[ambrosia]] and [[psychite tea]] are excluded from this policy.
 
−
:* '''One drink per day:''' No drugs to be kept in inventory. All drugs except for [[beer]] and [[smokeleaf joint]]s for addictions. Beer and smokeleaf joints available for recreation. Beer scheduled for use once per day, at any recreation or mood level.
 
−
:* '''Unrestricted:''' No drugs to be kept in inventory. All drugs for addictions. All drugs for recreation. No drugs scheduled.

−
The player may modify these policies or create their own.
