Materials taken from workshops
« on: August 29, 2006, 01:02:00 pm »

Occasionally a passing dwarf takes material needed for construction from a workshop when the workshop's occupant isn't present. Eg. metalsmith brings ore to the smelter, then walks off to get charcoal and at that time a passing dwarf decides to haul the ore back to storage.
Also happens with [TSK] materials when worker takes a break from a workshop to drink, eat or rest.

That's Install Planetary Overlord, not Initial Public Offering.

Yeah, the materials cease being associated to the job when the job is dropped by a dwarf, so they are moved back.  There's a limit to how long it should have a hold on them, but the way it works now is pretty annoying.
