NanoTask - Add Task(s) From File

NanoTask is a great little feature. Even though its not used all that often, I try to use it as much as I can. I have ADHD, which means short term memory is awful, and so having an in game solution is great.
the problem is, you have write the tasks yourself every round

Certain jobs on the station require you to do the same thing, every shift, from shift start. Atmos and Engi setting up power and distro. Chemistry doing chems. Botany making a bunch of compost. etc etc.

I think it’d be really great to have an “import tasks from file” option, like printers do, that lets you make multiple tasks at the start of the round, with one for each job you do, that you can just check off the list.

Even better if you can make subtasks, so lets say you’re a chemist and you have task: Make Dylo, then have a sub task for every step of that process.
It’d really just be tasks with an indent, that all get checked off if the parent task is marked as done.

I’m not sure how easy this would be, and if a single text file can support making multiple tasks. Maybe have it set up like a config file, so theres an high, med, and low section, and if you add a symbol to the start of a task, its a child of the parent before it in its section. And if there’s no parents, it defaults to being a parent task.

I’m really impressed by who made the lil NanoTask program, and I don’t want to pile more on the maintainers plate, but in my opinion its 1 feature away from being perfect, not just gameplay wise, but for accessibility.

Wouldn’t it be better then to have ability to select which NanoTasks you want to get from the loadout menu? I personally would feel bit discouraged if I had to always on round start go through my system file picker to select file containing all tasks that I have thought of for current job.

Besides that, Im for this idea, sometimes you just forget to turn on the distro valve, and small reminder to check if its turned on would be great.

That’s also a good idea! Have it load from file on start up.

Chems currently print out todo lists, load from file. As well as a load from file label list.
Drinks-The-Chems is known for having a special print out.

Midi files send you to the last folder you had open from SS14, so it wouldn’t be too bad, just put the folders next to each other.

But I like this idea. adding a “load from file” open to loadouts.
