Work Crew

All working colonists can be put into a work crew. Every work crew is lead by an overseer and will take name after that overseer. Work crews are the work horses of the colony and will take jobs for the whole crew to work on. Work crews can be assigned to workshops to perform tasks related to that workshop.

When a overseer dies, the remaining workers will end up in the top bar of the work crews tab and have a white question mark over their head. In this state they will only perform basic duties, like hauling. They can be assigned to another work crew any time, by using the +/- buttons as the relevant work crew.

A special kind of work crew is the military squad, which is either lead by a NCO or by a Militia NCO. Any regular overseer can be made into a militia NCO, by transforming the work crew with the conscript button. This will make the whole work crew turn into a brown-coated military squad that will pick up weapons and fight enemies like a regular squad.
