I find the manager quite dodgy. In terms of actually counting the number of items and not producing more of the item - it seems to have huge issues.

I can ask it to make 1 steel sword, and have at most 2 steel swords (Sometimes a sword will be sitting in the smithy when the job counts how many steel swords there are and misses it - this is known)

However I often find after a whole 5-10 steel swords sitting there and more on the way. No idea why this is.
I notice it does better with something like stone blocks where you want several hundred, and it seems to stop enabling the job at around the right time.

2nd quick question.

When smelting tetrahedtrite, there are 2 conditions, one for silver and one for copper. Is this condition an AND condition or an OR condition? Will it require both to be below the required amount before it kicks the job off?

The reason I'm asking that question is because of jobs being so dodgy it's too hard to tell just by trial and error.

Still the best system we've got so I'll continue to use it. Maybe someone can see something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

It only counts items are not TSK'ed and not in inventory. That means if you have a Brew Drink order triggering when you have less than 100 drinks, and you move your main booze stockpile causing 20 dwarfs to pick up every barrel of booze you own, then all your booze is TSK'ed and the order will trigger. Your swords were probably TSK'ed to be hauled to a weapon stockpile or were TSK'ed for a Pickup Equipment job.

It is always an AND condition.
