@AstroNinja Good question. It actually doesn't mess with "planet automation" in any way (to be clear, I'm referring to when you intentionally click that button over near the colony designation and ascensions, to turn on "automation"). That triggers a different set of logic which disables jobs when it thinks it doesn't need them, which this mod doesn't touch.

Specifically, the thing this mod does is correct some errors in the logic for *which jobs are filled* by pops, regardless of the planetary automation settings. So when a pop is in a specific strata and has a choice between two or more open jobs, let's say a clerk and a technician, it will choose to work the open clerk job if amenities are already negative, and choose to leave a maintenance drone job in favor of something productive if amenities are in excess of +20. Generally this means you will no longer (or at least less often) need to rely on prioritization and/or turning on crime/amenity automation in the first place.

does this fix the planet automation's habit of de-priotizing enforcer jobs for no reason, even if the planet has a high crime rate?

Thanks a bunch!

@Aphyxia Turns out the vanilla duelist job specifically was missing a weight modifier that the entertainer and other amenity-producing jobs had, so I added that in to bring it in line with its peers. That issue should be fixed now, and the mod has been updated.

@Aphyxia Good to know, thanks. I'll work in a similar adjustment for the dedicated entertainer-type jobs in the next update.

To clarify, I have a problem with the entertainer (specifically duelist) jobs. As a simplified example. I have no priorities set on an industrial world and have 8/8 artisans filled up but 0/2 duelists, resulting in -5 amenities and stability negatives.

@Aphyxia Yes, assuming the entertainer jobs are already filled and you are still negative on amenities, this mod will raise the priority of clerk jobs until your net amenities are between 1 and 5.

It doesn't raise their priority if you have open entertainer/duelist/healthcare jobs available though. If you're saying the game is refusing to even work entertainer jobs and letting it go negative, that's an issue I wasn't aware of but would be easy to fix. Please let me know if that's the case and I'll definitely work it in when I bring the mod up to date again soon.

I'm playing an individualist machine with the duelist civic. I have holotheathers on planets but with or without planet automation, the game thinks it's okay to be at -5 amenities but that causes low stability with machines. Is this possible to fix in the scope of this mod?

My machine gestalt empire thanks you for this.
