Working on automatic projects

[Nakranoth]

Currently, when you auto-put resources onto an automatic project, it automatically sets you working on the project...

That has now been fixed

Is that wrong? That's what happens with resource gathering projects. I'd have thought that in the majority of cases, if the char is idle, this is what's wanted... or does it do it even when insufficient stuff's been supplied?

[Chris Johnson]

There are 3 types of project

• Normal manual ones which a character can join (as long as the maximum number of participants is not exceeded) such as resource gathering (which is further limited by number of free digging slots) or building an object
• Automatic ones such as drying dung which no character can join but progress normally if all the resources are allocated
• Automatic and Manual ones which proceed with no person working on them but characters can contribute work to them - there are currently none of this type defined in-game

The 2nd of these shouldn't automatically be joined by the character since they can't work on them and this is what was fixed.
