Trading Screen Color-Coding
« on: October 20, 2010, 11:36:23 am »

What exactly do the different text colors mean in the trade screen?

I'm gathering brown is stuff that I've made, and I *think* that white is stuff that I didnt make. But what the heck is violet/pink/magenta? I've never seen that before.

Yep.  If you don't want dwarfs to be able to bring mandated items to the depot, there's an option to 'cull trading mandates'

I did, thats why I was a bit confused; I always cull mandates, so I've never seen that color before. Maybe the mandate changed mid delivery or something *Shrug*
I know that can happen.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

I also found in 31.12 that if you had one mandated item in a bin of crafts, the whole bin would not be brought to the Trade depot
