This always bothered me, but i never really look in to it. So thanks for this fix. :)
Can you point me to where in my save file I might find a way to correct this? I'm sure it's in the internal work tab assignments I just don't know where specifically to look.
Remember to backup your saves before editing them!Open your
save file with Editor (or an other Program with similar functionality). Using the search function find the colonist by his/her name. It should look like this:
<thing Class="Pawn">
<def>Human</def>
<id>Human469</id>
<map>0</map>
<pos>(132, 0, 123)</pos>
<rot>2</rot>
<faction>Faction_9</faction>
<kindDef>Colonist</kindDef>
<gender>Female</gender>
<name Class="NameTriple">
<first>Christoph</first>
<nick>Ricky</nick>
<last>Torrence</last>
</name>
If it doesn't your probeply some were in the "taleManager" part of the save so keep going (for older save it might be beneficial to start the search form the end of the file).
From here scroll a bit down to find the <workSettings> looking like this:
<workSettings>
<priorities>
<vals>
<li>1</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>0</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>1</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>3</li>
</vals>
</priorities>
</workSettings>
The order should be the same as ingame, if you don't feel like counting just set all to 0 and reactivate as needed ingame.
