Long tasks and annoying haulers
« on: September 09, 2006, 11:25:00 pm »

if you have a dwarf in the middle of a aprticularly long task and he stops it to drink/eat/sleep, haulers will come by and snatch his stuff, even from a workshop, causing him to have to go fetch them again.

This was particularly annoying when i first got my magma smelters set up and churning out steel. They had to grab several items from my stockpiles that weren't very close by.

It's more of an optimization that needs to be made to the job-item handling than a bug, but it is quite annoying and we'll deal with it at some point.  There are some other threads that discuss specific solutions...  somewhere.
