A hotkey to find next idle worker is a "must have" functionnality for this game!

Farthest Frontier Ideas and Feedback

Hi,

I enjoy a lot the freedom we have in micro-managing the tasks assignments. Shift-clicking, in the Jobs panel, allow us to quickly reduce/increase the number of workers in each job.

HOWEVER, I fail to understand why there is not a hotkey (or a panel) to locate idle villagers.
All the games that have to do with a population management have such functionnality.

The only tip I found was to activate F3 (units widgets) and read their status. But this is too fastidious when you have hundreds of villagers in your village. It’s killing all the fun.
Are we expected to check all villagers every minute to find out if they are idle ?

I have seen a lot of requests like this, about a hotkey or reassigning idle villagers to labor pool, but I fail to see any answer from Crate developers.
If I missed an answer, could you please let me know where I can find it ?

Best regards,
Zicfriz.

Can I hire some idle people from you? Will arrange travel papers and everything.

I understand the joke, but not your image. I don’t get what you are saying. Are you just showing a game in which you have a lot of laborers/builders ? Are you showing “Auto-refill professions” option ? In any case, both have nothing to do with my request to locate idle workers that are in a job but are not doing anything. For example when Foragers have no more plants to collect, they stay idle and I cannot detect that unless I check each forager every time.

This was pure mentioned as joke, if you have idle workers, I have plenty to do!

Jokes aside, a tool to find IDLE workers, would be very nice.
