I posted an idea for more control of laborers here : Laborer Information panel
Basically, it would give the player more control over the priorities of tasks for laborers. In the case of the compost worker, they are a professional, so that idea would not affect them. However I do wish composters were limited to a much smaller radius.
I’m not sure how much the laborer information would help either, at least until they got the logistics more efficient. It’s rather annoying to watch a laborer carry 1 or 2 veggies all the way across the map to another root cellar that already has an adequate supply. Or to restock a building, they obtain the supply from the farthest possible place when you have some in storage right next to it. So many things aren’t working right and they really need to redo that logic. Too often there are so many laborers “transporting stored items” that nothing else gets done, and maybe if there was a convenient place to find out what they are spending the time on, you could lower that priority and raise the priority of what you need done.
