[40d11] Fulfilling overlapping mandates?
« on: June 13, 2009, 05:24:36 pm »

In the fort I'm currently playing, one of the nobles is fond of fine pewter; another is fond of buckets.  However, I've noticed that when both of them have mandates for item-creation up, creating a fine pewter bucket will sometimes only fulfill one mandate.  Is this expected behavior, or a bug?

It's the "sometimes" part that's suspicious to me -- when the demands are "Fine Pewter Items (2/2)" and "Buckets (2/2)" and I use the job manager to queue up two fine pewter buckets, I often fine that the fine pewter mandate is fulfilled in its entirety, but the bucket mandate is at 1/2.

I think what's happening is that it was supposed to fill them all, but it would break out of the loop if a mandate became fulfilled with a given item, so any remaining mandates in that loop cycle wouldn't get counted.  Fixed for next time.
