Haha, yeah pretty much. Is there such a thread currently active? Couldn't hurt to have a comprehensive "This is how jobs work" post.

I had no idea you could do this, though I'm kind of a newbie with fortress mode, so that's not all that strange. Will be really useful, especially when, as posted, setting up steel production and other things that require several steps in the production.

if you REALLY don't want them rendering fat, then you should learn the neat trick that if you Suspend an auto-queue task like fat rendering.... it won't auto-add another job, so fat rendering just won't happen until you unsuspend it!
This is especially nice for getting rid of "Durrr I can't find the webs!" spam.

If that's a problem, you can also go to (o) Set Orders -> (W) Workshop Orders and turn off various auto workshop jobs from there.

Edit: It appears a bug currently causes auto butcher, fishery, and kitchen to be toggled together instead of separately, so suspended jobs might be preferable in some cases, if you want these three to behave differently from each other.
