Dwarf cancels prepare lavish meal: Item lost or destroy
« on: September 15, 2006, 03:55:00 pm »
I've been having my repeat-issue kitchen jobs mysteriously turn off when I'm not looking.  I finally tracked it down to the above message; presumably, if an ingredient for a planned meal is eaten before the chef gets to use it, the entire repeat-cooking assignment is cancelled.  This seems a bit unfortunate.

Yeah, it seems like a lot of jobs should have different default behaviors for this.  This one should kind of...  suspend or delay or something, to avoid spam, but you'd ideally have it on.  Kitchen cooking probably needs an optionally automated system with various settings anyway.
