Is your feature request related to a problem?

Feel like we can use some more workers to produce enough resource for the colony. Unlike other productivity increasing researches, this one will drastically boost the production rate of the colony.

Feature description

• [ ] Increase Productivity: An end game Uni research that allow one more worker to be hired in huts that are apart of your colony prodution chain. This includes:
• Farmer's hut: 2 workers.
• Forester's hut: 2 workers.
• Fisherman's hut: 2 workers.
• Miner's hut: 3 workers (there is another separated research unique to the mine that allow 2 workers, unlocked in mid game colonies.)
• Plantation: 2 workers.
• Apiary: 2 workers.
• Quarry: 3 workers (The same worker research for the mine also apply for the quarry.)

Notes or related things

I know there are already reaearches that increase the speed and efficiency of workers, but they just doesnt seem that fast. This, on the other hand, make it so the colony is two times better without the need to build any other buildings, at a plus side, it also makes the colony even more lively. Additional: 5 guards to patrol the mine and quarry.

For a lot of these workers it wouldn't work with the way their AI is setup and would require a massive overhaul to make them compatible with dual working. For fishers it won't be that much of an issue but miners would be pretty useless, especially during the tunnel down phase they wouldn't be able to mine the same block. This will have to be further elaborated on how you would overcome problems like this.

A shame about miners, as they are where this would be most worth it. You can build two farms and assign 5 fields each, but having 2 mines will cause overlap and intersections.

Suggestion for fixing the 2 miner/quarrier issue: At any given time, a miner is digging down, branching out, or placing frame blocks. Separate these 3 into distinct tasks and disallow both miners doing the same job at the same time. If one is digging down, the other fills in frame blocks. He then continues branch mining when he catches up to and cannot place any more. When the first finishes going down, he begins branch mining and the 2nd begins going down. And one or the other finishes placing the frames before continuing to dig.

From my previous comment back in 2022, it's simply not feasible to have multi worker setups, this has been asked and denied so many times on Discord.
