It would be nice if it was possible to select a specific building/storage for a building to draw from and deposit to by selecting the option in the building menu and clicking the building you want to draw from/deposit to. For example, if you had two different wells you could set your rum still to draw from one specific well and to set it to deposit into a specific storage barrel.

Also I don't know if there's currently a way to set characters to repeat a job automatically and I just haven't found it but that option would be nice. It's a pain having to watch various jobs in your town so you can restart them when they are out of resources or the produce is full, especially while you're off trying to explore or trade.

repeat jobs is setting the job itself
Hold Shift then Right click on item you wish to set a job for the squad member.
they will repeat it until you cancel the job.
Do you believe the sexes should be equal?
Oh heavens no.
Then Men would become unmanageable

I thought that only worked for "Medic". So if I understand this correctly I could shift-click on hemp farm, and my squad mate would farm indefinitely?

yes
Shift Right Click over where you want to person to work.
Select job.

You can have upto 3 in your jobs slot that will work, the third one can be kinda picky sometimes.
the fourth job addition does not seem to be seen so gets ignored.

Jobs
1 Medic
2 Operate Stone Mine
3 Operate Stone Processor

I use that set up a lot.
even though i take out medic a lot when it bugs out during combat.

Not all the time I've had some people doing 5 Jobs at once so maybe the 4th slot is just a little stubborn at times.

It's set in a priority order so 1st is top priority reason why medic/rescue doesn't work unless in first slot and before you say rescue isn't a job it actually is just doesn't show from what i've noticed

My main issue is that folks will stand next to a fully automatic building waiting when it doesn't need unloading or loading. I could probably manage 2 buildings this way with one person and instead have to do one to one.
