Split mill jobs into "mill food" and "mil
« on: December 10, 2007, 08:17:00 pm »
Not really much to expand on. I'd really like to be able to mill dye and brew cave wheat without worrying about all my bags filling with flour.

Or add the options "Process" and "Mill" to the Kitchen menu, in addition to cook and brew.

Does everyone understand the difference now?

If only one, I think that adding to the kitchen menu would be best, but even better would be to use both ideas, as they are not mutually exclusive.

I think doing both (adding to the kitchen display and separating it out in the menu) would just be duplication of effort and confusing.  I just want the mill menu split out.

As it is, sometimes it can be hard controlling what gets cooked or brewed.  Too often I end up only selecting one thing to be brewed so I build up stock of that particular drink, because the dwarf has been brewing nothing but plump helmets for a year.

I also end up with way too many roasts with only one type of food item in it.  That's less of a problem though.
