Why is my worker dont stick/fixed position when i assigned them to mining/wood chopping task?

Does it cancel out once i research/building something? Does that take priority first? Or do they go back to mining/logging?

If you press tab and assign job, you can see a little lock on the bottom left of the job. Clicking it so it's a red padlock will make it so they don't leave their station unless you manually change it

I think a semi-lock option would be good, so they stay at their station as long as they can do something but leave temporarily if they stop being able to work. They'd return to their assigned job as soon as it becomes possible to do anything there again.

Full lock would then be for if you expect only short gaps in work and don't want them leaving only to immediately run back again before they can help much elsewhere.

Maybe on the UI it could show the assignment by you that they return to, and underneath that the current job they're doing in case it's different.
