In Rim World, when I open the work tab to set job priorities, some of the boxes are outlined in red for some workers. What does that mean? I know that the lightness of the box indicates sill level and flames are (faintly) shown to indicate passion. But I couldn't figure out what the red outline meant.

    Could you provide a screenshot of the work tab in question?

    It could be that this worker can't do this job for various reasons like if he's scared of fire, he can't be a fire fighter or if he is missing both arms, he can't carry thing, I comment because I can't verify this right now

  • I can't get you a screenshot right now, but I'll try to remember to grab one tonight. As I remember, it was a red outline around the box where you enter a 1-4 priority for a work type. It was never all the boxes in a given column, but sometimes more than one. Some colonists would have more than one red box, some none at all.

The red outline indicates that the pawn assigned to that work has a skill level between 0-3. It's supposed to draw attention to the fact that there may be better pawns available to handle that type of work. Changing the priority on a red-boxed skill like this from 0 (unassigned) to 1-4 should also be accompanied by a "crunching" sound.
