Manager bug?
« on: January 03, 2017, 02:26:53 am »

Well, I tried to stud and decorate something with the manager menu, but the numbers never changed and remained 100/100.

Stuff I've had go wrong with the manager menu:
1. I thought I had enough silver to stud the furniture and I didn't, so the order was never completed.
2. I thought I had marble to make tables and thrones with, but I'd tied the marble up in some other renovations, and the marble was not available, so the order was never even started.
3. The jewellers shop was behind a locked door. No luck there when I ordered gems cut.
4. I ran out of coal. No more forging of zinc furniture....

I'll put that down to user error.

I do recommend making small orders, and plenty of them, instead of large orders. 100/100 sounds like a rather large order: Have you tried doing just 5 of the item, just to make sure everything is functioning normally, before you started on the other 95?

I checked and the jobs were being done.. just the numbers didn't change.
It is just stud and decorate I've found that have this problem, if I order 300 large bone gems the task goes normally.

I've done decorate before with no problems, but I only use repeating jobs of size 1.  I agree that it would be best to see if you can narrow down the problem a bit further.  Do 3 and see if the job ever finishes.  Check to see if the counter moves with smaller values, etc.  If the counter never moves no matter what you do, it sounds like a bug.

I tried a smaller number and it still didn't change.
I hve tons of lead bars and bones I guess I'll make large lead gems and large bone gems instead.

Why not just request the decorations at the workshop, instead of the manager menu?

I have definitely done bone and shell decorations before with no problem.  Next time I set it up, I'll pay a bit more attention and see if I can duplicate your problem.
