Soldier Management

DIRECT ANSWER

Soldier Management: current answer

The August 28 update improves class sorting in Soldier Management and inventory. Use class sorting to inspect a roster, then track assignment and combat preparation separately.

Quick facts

  • Class-based sorting is a dated August 28 quality-of-life change.
  • ST-24 later changes temporary and automatic assignment logic.

Practical workflow — editorial guidance

Sort by class when checking whether the roster contains the roles you intend to deploy.

Record a soldier's assignment before moving them between colony work and combat planning.

Use the local roster tracker for observations, not as an authoritative stat database.

Evidence limits

Class names, upgrade costs and sorting-key precedence are not inferred from the patch summary.

Related systems and next steps

System

Worker Assignment

Diagnose worker assignment by separating a chosen job, a Temporary Assignment and automatic selection while idle. ST-24 improves the latter two systems; resource delivery is then handled by the logistics chain.

System

Soldier Aging

Soldier Aging can be toggled at any time with immediate effect under AG-12. ST-11 fixes ages stopping after adulthood, and ST-24 fixes old-age deaths before soldiers reach the Aged-state threshold.

Tool

Soldier Roster Tracker

Keep a small roster of named or generic soldiers with the roles and traits you actually observe. No traits or statistics are filled in automatically.

Tool

Squad Planner

Plan a squad around your objective using your own roles, equipment, and fallback notes. This is a planning board, not an automatic combat rating.

Update
