H'lo.

Upon loading up my game this morning I noticed something strange: I had my dwarves make 11 pig iron through the job manager and as I watched them go about it I didn't notice the number in the job manager going down. The dwarves kept making pig iron indefinitely irregardless of the number set in the job manager, which stayed at 11, until I canceled the jobs in the smelters manually. After, a similar thing happened when ordering them to make 11 steel bars; they kept going, the job manager oblivious to steel being made, until they ran out of pig iron and self-canceled the job.

Anyone get anything similar? First time for me.

EDIT: Also important to note that all other jobs work fine as they should. Maybe it's a bug with steel & pig iron production?

I haven't noticed this yet, but will definitely test pig iron.

Also, 'irregardless'?

His vocabules are irrelevant to the discussion.
Irregardlessly, I haven't felt the need to use the manager yet.

I had the same with coke production recently. The jobs in the work shop got assigned the automattic flag so production went non stop till I noticed it in the manager screen. I'm sure I didn't enable it in both smelters but it appeared.

Irregardless is an informal term meaning regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since it first appeared in the early twentieth century. Most dictionaries list it as "incorrect" or "nonstandard". - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless

Apologies, nonetheless.

You don't use the job manager? A leap in gameplay from mine, I'd hardly get anything done without it.

Do you mean they have an "R" next to them, as in they repeat? I should note that that's not the case with mine, the tasks just keep generating in the smelters indefinitely.

I can confirm that problem. I started a job for 15 pig iron at version 08, everything worked fine the bars were produced and the number of outstanding bars decreased at the manager screen. Now I changed to version 10 when only one bar of the job was left to be done. I just watched my furnace operator make one bar but there was no change at the manager screen. After the dwarf left the furnace, a new job for one bar was added to the joblist of said furnace again.

Other jobs, although not related to the furnaces did work: The number of outstanding items decreased until the job was finished and deleted from the manager screen.

This is in the bug tracker and hopefully will be addressed soon.

Well, then! Wonderful.
