Dawn Apart is one of those games where doing something as basic as commanding your Prospects / Workers isn’t very clear. It is a complicated experience overall, but this is the beauty of this genre.
To extract resources in Dawn Apart you will often have to mine, and to mine orders must be given to the Prospects. However, there comes a time when you need to stop mining, but the Prospects won’t stop.
Ordering Prospects to stop mining is one of the commands the game skips over. Doesn’t tell us how to do it but rest assured, I’ll help you out.
How to Command Workers to Stop Mining in Dawn Apart
To get rid of a stubborn mining order, head to the bottom-left corner of the screen and click the Clear tool. Doing this lifts the duty off your worker, makes the yellow icon go away, and opens up the Crew member for other jobs like hauling or getting some rest.
The Dawn Apart tutorial covers how to dig and build, yet it skips the part about canceling orders once they’re set. Because prospects run on a needs meter, they can get worn out, fall sick, or even pass out if you pile on too many tasks.
By clearing old mining jobs you stop resource logjams and keep your camp healthy, steady, and in high spirits
The clear command looks basic at first, but it does a lot more than just un-mine a tile. It cancels orders for cutting trees, moving stuff, or putting up walls.
Because it works on so many jobs, the command comes in handy whenever you need to change what colonists are doing fast-such as yanking them off chores during a raid or getting them ready for a big caravan run.
