Hi everyone,

A new version (v0.5.085) is finally out and includes a functionality for re-stacking items in zones and transport them in zones with higher priority, some QoL features and some smaller fixes.

In addition, AColony is joining the Steam Summer Sale today with a fency discount of -35%.

Zones

Re-stack Items In Zone

In the last days (and to also get some new features for the summer sale for you), I have finally added the functionality that colonists can re-stack items in the same zone for a better space management.

Because this function could maybe also annoy or lead to unnecessary jobs / waste of colonist time, you can enable and disable it by a new button in the zone menu when required. The re-stack jobs are usually called when the colonists find no item anymore (when having transporter priority as highest) which they can by default transport to zones.



In addition, you can call this job directly by clicking on the item by colonists command (but requires that the zone has re-stacking enabled)

Transport Items to higher priority Zones

I have also added a second button to the zone menu, which allows you to enable that you colonists will transport items from this zone to zones which you have marked with a higher priority.



To make the management easier, the buttons are available in the priority overview menu too.

Hotkeys

For some faster access and as quality of life feature, I have finally added some basic hotkeys for the most common actions. This includes for example to mark trees, plants, rocks & animals for hunt directly, but also stuff like forbit or prioritize items.

Note:
The forbid functionality has always the same key, which is "Q" at the moment. (F is unfortunately already used)
