Hi, I'm having trouble with making bread in my human fortress. I have cave wheat flour(in bags, no bags in barrels), but I can't select the option"Make bread" in the Culinary Kitchen(guild extension N ). I dealt with a similar problem in a past fortress but with the Brewery(guild extension E); I had empty barrels, i had plants(fisher berries) but couldn't select "brew fisher berries" or smth like that. Is there something that I'm missing? please help, i really want to go all the way with a human fortress.

I don't know if i should have posted in a troubleshoot thread, haven't seen one.

Sometimes options will be red even when you have the materials due to a bug with burrows. When this happens, try assigning the job via manager.  This will either cue the job normally or tell you what it thinks you are missing

I ordered through manager and it says: "X cancels Make bread: Needs flour bag-containing item" This is one of the reagents needed for bread the other two are: "Unrotten BREAD_MAT-producing powder", "Flour-containing bag". I guess i have these two but i lack the third reagent. What on earth does it refer to? I have flour bags but not in a stockpile, they're in the quern still.

6.2 or Reborn?

The error message means more or less what it sounds like; the three reagents are

(1) flour (i.e. some powder of a type whose reaction product is BREAD_MAT)
(2) a bag containing the flour
(3) any other object containing the bag containing the flour

I can't comment on why it's designed that way, Meph will almost certainly chime in sooner or later

People reported issues with reactions not finding tertiary reagents: Aka if the flour is in a bag, and the bag in a barrel, the reaction can't find it. I wrote Toady One about it, he said that's kinda intended, because for the reaction to also include the barrel, I'd have to add that too.

So now the reaction only accepts flour in bags in barrels. Seemed like the easier option than flour in bags, which forced players to make a custom stockpile forbidding barrels, so that flour is stored in bags, and flour bags are stored in the stockpile.

Or I can add both reactions, and both works. ^^

6.2 or Reborn?

I'm using 6.2

I'll try to permit barrels in my flour stockpile, see how it turns out.


Modify: It worked! I permitted barrels in the flour stockpile and now they cookin' bread! I initially disabled barrels in the stockpile because i read on the internet that it may cause "losing" the item. I didn't think you guys actually worked around it. Thank you for the swift and helpful responses. Best forum ever!

No, thank you; for the kind words! Best community ever!
