Tantruming cooks
« on: February 23, 2008, 01:28:00 pm »

I recently started playing this and am able to last at least one year. However my cooks once and a while produce a masterwork food item, that once made says its lost to art defacement. They only have cooking task and its set on repeat so they shouldn't be doing anything else. Is there anyway to stop them from making masterwork cooked items or stop them being in the very unhappy condition? Or is it just a glitch?

Is your food stockpile full?  I don't think they get peeved if their masterwork food is eaten but if it just sits and rots in the kitchen I think that makes them mad.

My food stockpile is big enough, I have of empty barrels, bins and everything else of the like, just as soon as it is created it is destroyed. The two messages appear right after the other and I cant do anything about it.

If all fails, kill the cooks. All problems stem from dwarves. No dwarf - no problem.

Are you trying to use alcohol as a cooking ingredient? There's a problem with that in the current version - the biscuits (or whatever) melt as soon as they're made, leaving you with a puddle of booze lying in the kitchen. That would probably explain it. Make sure your dwarves don't cook booze in the current version, as you'll just be wasting booze.

2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.
