It would be very interesting, when npcs appear, to add the ability to automate all processes by assigning residents or workers to certain actions. Such a unit could be programmed to fit your needs.
For example, personally assign routes to couriers so that they transfer things from specified containers to others.
Hire guards, and assign them patrol areas (you can also equip them with equipment yourself).
Ask artisans a sequence of items that need to be crafted within a certain time using materials from a certain container, etc.
What do you think?
