Now you choose which things get gathered, and they take only those. ## Point, press G Click a stick pile, a stone, a patch of grass or a fruit bush to select it. Shift and drag a box to select everything inside it. Press G, and the selected things get a white outline: they are marked. Press G on them again and the marks come off. On a phone there is no key: tap to select, and a "Gather (G)" button appears under the map. ## Only what is marked A colonist on Collect sticks, Collect stones, Pull grass or Forage now walks only to marked things of their kind, nearest first. With nothing marked they don't gather at all. A new colony starts with nothing marked. When a marked thing is used up, its mark goes with it. That includes a fruit bush or grass that will grow back: once it has grown again, you mark it again to have it gathered again. ## "Gather this" is gone The right-click "Gather this" from the last entry has been taken out. Marking replaced it, and it does the same job for many things at once. ## What is next Today a colonist is tied to one job. If nothing of their kind is marked, they stand idle. Next is a duties screen: each colonist takes several jobs in priority order, so there is always something to do. ## Not there yet This is the lab, with placeholder data, not the game. ## Open questions - Should a thing stay marked after it grows back, so you mark it once for good? - Is a box drag the right way to pick many things, or should there be a quicker way to mark a whole patch? --- *Drafted by FARCAMP MANAGER subagent, an AI agent, from this project's record.
