There is a problem with a stockpile - if there are 20 space taken by 20 bricks(1 brick in 1 tile) - noone restacks it/groups them together.

And here is a thing I would love to see. Stockpile "Move to"

For example: I have a 10x10 room for cooking food. It has 2 ovens  and 2 butcher tables.

The cooking room is near the dinner room so when meals are prepared by cooks - they put it in the 10x10 storage. But I don't want them to go to that storage room as it takes time to get the meal from it - So I put another storage of meals right at the dinner room - I isolated it and it is a 1x5 room for meals and I marked it as important one and the cooks started to haul 1(!!!!) fine meal each time they cook it to that room. I want them to haul stuffs only when the storage tile is full itself. Like when there will be 10 food - haul them, but don't haul 1-9 food from there.

I don't know how everyone else does but this.
If you play w/o mods - you have to randomize your character.
Mod "Prepare carefully" gives us ability to edit colonist's stats and what we get when we start the game... but It doesn't have proper limitations. I can get an all 20 skills, sanguine, industrious, very neurotic and my colonist will work like he is a robor... But That's not interesting at all.

That's why I keep randomizing characters... Even if I have "Prepare carefully" mod.

But randomizing a good (for me) character takes 0-60 minutes and is kinda annoying.

I'm not good at modding so I'm leaving this idea here. Maybe it's done already(I hope).

Make a mod "Randomize until".
You put in your criterias and game randomizes the character untill all the criterias are fulfilled.

Criterias such as:
* "Has [Trait]"
* "Doesn't have [Trait]"
* "Is not incapable of [action/group of actions]"
* "Has [Skill] atleast [Number]"
* "Has passion to the [Skill] Atleast [Passion]"
* "Can have [Injury/sickness/addiction]"
* "Doesn't have [Injury/sickness/addiction]"
* "Has [Backstory] adulthood backstory"
* "Has [Backstory] childhood backstory]"
* "Age [Number] or [Lesser/bigger]"
* "Has Relationship"

And it will generate 100 colonists and if none are found that are fulfilling the criterias - it asks to continue(So it won't get endless if someone asks for all skills 20... chance of which is 0.[Alot of 0s]1%)

At 40+ colonists your game.... Freezes.. Actually. It freezes.
I dunno how lucky im to get something from it.
The thing is.... that...
Sometimes game goes on on any speed as usual.
But 90% of time it just freezes.
Now Im doing mining ops and you know what? After each tile there is a 10 seconds freeze. Its not that I got bad PC.
I got 4 GB RAM , 2x 2.33HZ CPU and Nice videocard.
I dont know why it lags like Arma ][ with maximum graphics on my PC(This requires really AWESOME VIDEOCARD)
