I had a way to remove dorfs from stations early on in the game jam, but as I was tinkering with it, it didn’t feel fun to me to juggle dorfs off stations down further onto other stations. Everytime you dig deeper, you are tempted to keep juggling them further down. It felt laborious to me, so maybe there is something worth balancing there so it isn’t so much a chore, but still allows you to achieve the result you want.
I’ll think about this some more. Thanks for your feedback, this is very helpful!
