Physical/outdoor jobs vs skill/indoor jobs

[MajorFordson]

It would be very good to see a split between jobs that require hard labor or being outdoors vs jobs that are relatively easy and are indoors.

This could have two effects -

1) Jobs that require skill at a bench, such as sewing or cooking, could be made much easier for crippled colonists. Suddenly your colonist who suffers from old age or a terrible wound no longer shuffles around trying to haul a single load of timber over the course of a day. The player could set them for "light duties" only, meaning they would focus on housekeeping and crafting jobs, which they could achieve much better.

2) A better weather/day night cycle. Imagine, the sun sets and your pawns stop mining or logging in the pitch dark of night and instead spend a few hours indoors performing jobs in the warmth and light of your buildings, before retiring to bed.

Two aspects of the game that I think would become more immersive and offer a better balance for the various chores.

2) is already a planned feature for alpha 10 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_rCdGYp3nbSUXFG4Ky96RZW1cJGt9g_6ANZZPOHyNsg/pub
Tynan updates it almost daily (mostly). its his dev blog.

You will be able to manualy assign a timetable and designate "bedtime","crafting time" or whatever.

Or just disable hauling for your crippled colonist. I usually make sure they don't have hunting or mining either.
Construction depends on the projects i have running.

A direct link between movement speed and inclination to move long distances would be nice though.
