A quota was the only name I could come up with for this.

Anyway; What if you could tell your dwarves to maintain 50 drink-barrels throughout the fort at all times. If the number drops below whatever you set it to, the fort manager will queue up some more drinks to be made.

Basically, a very simple scripting for DF. There are limitless possibilities;
 You could tell your dwarves to maintain a stockpile of 200 bolts, and after each battle the pile would be rebuilt.
You could tell your dwarves to cut any gems by saying "if rough gem count > 0, cut gems."
For the metal industry, you could tell your dwarves to melt all iron bars automatically and keep a stockpile of 100 coals.

I would love this feature because I use a lot of mass production in DF, and the annoying limit of 30 items per manager order is bothersome. I'd love to be able to create little scripts to make my dwarves repeatedly process all raw foods and melt all metal ores without me needing to intervene.

Hell, you could make challenges to see who can make an entirely self-sufficient and automated fort!

I believe this is on the eternal suggestions voting list...

Oh, shit. I didn't even see that :[

My apologies.
