I think that it'd be a great idea for dwarves to have some kind of way to responding to events like when an item is added to a stockpile they'll automatically put something in a particular work queue. I know it's possible with minecarts but I'm not given to build tracks in my hallways thank you very much. Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to stop jobs from autocancelling and just pausing them like a Fey Mood does when the dwarf in question lacks the material to build their artifact.

Here's some examples:

Wood added to stockpile > When wood exceeds 5, burn 3 pieces of wood between 3 furnaces (1 each) > Turn resulting ash into potash via workstation.

More than 10 dwarf corpses in a stockpile > Smelter starts making job requests for dwarves to follow > Metalsmiths make more weapons / armour.

Of course, this may already exist ingame, but I don't know.

• This seems like a Suggestion (for future reference.)
• It's the #1 wanted thing on the Eternal Suggestion Voting.
• DFHack's Workflow command is probably the closest thing we have right now. (It doesn't do various conditions, though. It only maintains minimum amounts of stuff.)
