The player never directly controls a colonist&rsquo;s hands. This constraint produces a management system that maps remarkably well onto multi-agent orchestration, where a harness directs autonomous agents without micromanaging their inference.</p> <h2 id="work-priorities-the-1-4-dispatch-system"><a href="#work-priorities-the-1-4-dispatch-system" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>Work Priorities: The 1-4 Dispatch System </h2> <p>RimWorld offers two priority modes. In <strong>simple mode</strong>, each colonist toggles work types on or off. In <strong>manual mode</strong>, each work type gets a priority from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest), or blank (disabled). A colonist completes all available priority-1 work before touching priority-2 work. Within the same priority level, work types listed further left take precedence.</p>
