A new tab in the "Z" menu?
« on: January 07, 2007, 10:46:00 pm »
Just because I'm a detail nut....

What about a seperate tab for the "Other" category in the Kitchen menu.  I'd just like to see a tally of all the roasts/fat/etc.

Well... have you gotten the Stocks screen yet?  That has lots of categories like that.  I'd like Prepared to have its own item in the kitchen screen though, since Other includes lots of inedible things.

That Stocks screen is sweet.

I just want to second an idea someone had in another thread to make the kitchen menu toggle Cook / Brew / Eat

That would be very useful.

Ooh, yes, I like that idea a lot, too.

Cook/Brew/Eat/Mill/Process/Plant/Chasm?

(Alright, Chasm doesn't make sense unless food qualities so low that they give bad thoughts are implemented, but it would be nice to be able to have dwarves plant seeds without manually setting each plot every season, and have pig tails automatically processed.)

It seems that at some point you want the part of this interface at the workshop level, especially if you want to process specific plants.  The way the workshops are set up is strange.  But I'm not doing that now, since it's premature.  Going too far in this other direction might be extreme though, in light of how it ultimately should be.
