Punny eh? Anyways, I've noticed something while making deep mines for the Empire. With a shortage of Master Miners ("worker missing") the solution is simple, terminate a master miner in another mine and he gets replaced by a regular miner. Usually.

Interesting... are you playing the development branch or build 21? I do never build deep mines, except i couldn't find any ore anymore, which is very rare on most maps (i want to spend all produced bread for the trainingites). So didn't noticed this behavior prior .

The same thing happens to me with a Barbarian Brewery (using build 21).

Internally, every slot is assigned a minimum worker rank at building creation time. One slot for a miner or better, one for a chief miner or better, and one for a master miner or better. That's the same for every building that needs experienced workers. No reordering is possible currently, +1 for implementing intelligent detection whether the slot requirements for a filled slot and a vacant slot could be swapped.

+1 for intelligent detection and management from me as well

No need to reprogram anything. Just add it to the documentation. It's no problem once you know the slots are not all interchangable as one would expect. Or another suggestion: In the building screen where it has the slots add a tooltip when hovering over each slot that states what rank is --

It'd be great if one could control experienced workers as an economy target. For example: with a target of five master miners, a master miner was ejected once they are no longer needed in a slot, and a miner would take their place; repeat until five masters are in stock (not in mines). Whether buildings should operate (perhaps exceeding their product economy targets) until worker targets are met is another matter; I'd incline towards "yes". WARNING: New-style view packet not found. There may be strange effects regarding unseen areas.

That's not easily done - you can't create a master miner in the warehouse, so implementation-wise it can't be captured by an economy target. Busy indexing nil values
