The Colony Manager mod simplifies the most tedious parts of managing a fast growing colony. Set up production chains from raw resources to finished products, and your managers will make sure you’re never out of vital resources again.
Colony Manager mod features

Forestry job

How does it work?
You can manually set bills in the new Manager tab at the bottom of the screen. Once set, a colonist with the manager skill and worktype enabled will go to a manager station to figure out the best way to hand out jobs to individual workstations.
Periodically, the manager will check if the assigned bills are still up-to-date, and make changes or delete bills when required. The manager will not touch bills that are set manually, nor will managers create jobs. You’re still the overlord!
There is no limit to the number of global bills that can be set.
Compatibility notes
The Colony Manager mods adds a new worktype, and thus is not compatible with old savegames. But it should work perfectly fine with other mods that add bills.
