v0.30.0 - Job Priorities & Requester

[b]Job Priorities[/b]
Architect can control the priority of job types with a drag&drop list
By default, all export jobs are equal to each other (but you as an Architect can drag export from specific device categories higher). The same goes for supplying devices

Why?
Imagine a problem at hand - you wish to automate fabrication of Acid, but have only one required item automatically transported into the nearby Storage (Mineral), and need some way of getting the second one (Metal).
You could enable Crew - In in the Chemical Plant Supply section , but then crewmates would deliver both Mineral & Metal, which is counterproductive, Mineral could be transported via pipeline.
To automate Chemical Plants, you can plop the Requester and set it to Mineral, Crew will bring it to the Requester and pipes could distribute it to Chemical Plant.
This way Chemical Plant can have the supply by crew disabled, and work only on Input delivered via pipes. Also, multiple Chemical Plants can be connected to the same pipeline.
