Show Cooked/Processable Foods in Kitchen Screen
« on: September 16, 2009, 07:25:26 am »

Processable but uncookable food products (such as Quarry Bushes, before leaf-bagging) should be shown in the Kitchen screen.

Also, finished food items should be on the kitchen screen, much as drinks are now (even if their brewability is going to be removed.) While the ingredients of a given prepared meal can vary wildly, one could simply narrow it down to "(tallow/leaves/meat/fish) roast/stew/biscuit" based on the primary ingredient.

This is what the stocks screen is for. The Kitchen screen is for designating cookable and brewable foods.

That said, the stocks screen badly needs an overhaul. Hopefully this is coming soon. xXPigtail SockXx does not belong in the same list with -Steel Low Boot-.

I like the idea, although it starts to get messy when you can make candles.

Perhaps just add tags to the items to determine which screens they pop up in?

stocks screen needs filters, at least as much as the designate for trading screen. Also, alphebetize things. This game is brutal to learn when you have to read each list 2-3 times to find the one item you need.
