Editing v0.34:Standing orders

{{av}}
{{Quality|Exceptional}}

:'''''Standing orders''' are non-military orders that apply to the entire fortress, including civilians. If you were looking for information on how to get your military to patrol or defend areas without actively managing them, see '''[[Scheduling]]'''. If you were looking for information on how to order your squads to move around on command and attack designated creatures, see '''[[Squads]]'''.


'''Standing orders''' that apply to the whole fortress can be accessed with {{K|o}}

* {{K|x}} adjusts the level of job cancellation announcements that are shown
* {{K|a}} toggles whether dwarves will move caged animals to a stockpile
* {{K|f}} toggles whether dwarves will move food to a stockpile
* {{K|u}} toggles whether dwarves will move furniture to a stockpile
* {{K|g}} toggles whether dwarves will move dead dwarves to a stockpile

* {{K|z}} sets [[#Activity zone orders|activity zone orders]]

===Refuse orders===
Dwarves can do different things with different types of [[refuse]].

You can tell them to ignore refuse altogether {{K|r}} for a smelly fort, or to gather refuse even from outside {{K|o}} which is mainly useful for collecting animals killed by military dwarves.

Each type of refuse can be toggled between "save" (bring to a stockpile) and "dump" (throw in a garbage dump [[activity zone]])

===Workshop orders===

Many workshops will generate tasks automatically, from this menu you can turn that off for selected workshops.
The [[loom]] and [[clothier's shop]] can be further configured to use only dyed thread/cloth or any type.
Since finished clothing cannot be dyed, this is one way to make sure the clothing is of best quality possible.

*{{K|l}} toggles whether looms will automatically weave available thread (or available dyed thread) into cloth
*{{K|d}} toggles whether clothier's shops will use only dyed cloth or all cloth
*{{K|w}} toggles whether weavers will automatically go out and collect spider webs
*{{K|s}} toggles whether animals marked for slaughter will automatically have slaughter tasks added at the [[butcher]] shop 
*{{K|b}} toggles whether butcherable corpses will have butcher tasks automatically generated at the [[butcher]] workshop
*{{K|f}} toggles whether raw fish will have "prepare raw fish" tasks auto-generated at the [[fishery]] workshop
*{{K|k}} toggles automatic generation of "render fat" orders at the [[kitchen]] workshop
*{{K|t}} toggles whether raw hides will have "tan raw hide" tasks auto-generated at the [[tanner's shop]]

===Activity zone orders===
Fishing and drinking (water source) zones can be set to mandatory here, which can be useful if you need to keep [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]] away from a [[carp]]-infested river.

-NOTE: If you have outdoor refuse stockpiles set up with give and take chains (to shift garbage away from your fortress, for example,) you must turn on collecting outdoor refuse if you want your dwarves to move the piles.
