I've always wanted a really simple scripting or rules engine tools for my workers to automate them.
Just a simple if-then block like:
if (floodplains) { build farm }
if (forest) { build lumbermill }
if (jungle) { do nothing }
It wouldn't be perfect, but is obviously some sort of crappy version built-in to them that often does not do what I want, to the point that automating workers is counter-productive.
Or I'd love to be able to plot out a road/rail tile by tile and queue it up. Or heck, just a general worker queue would be an improvement even if manual.
- jandrese 6y agoif (jungle) { build tradingpost } For building roads you can use the route-to mode which works fairly well. The only caveat is that you can't tell the worker to build roads (because they're cheaper) if you have researched railroads, even if the city has a harbor so it already has the production bonus. Or it's a city state and you're only building it for the diplomacy boost.
