I do not think the toggle affects ingredients while cooking, but whether different foods are mixed in barrels on the stockpile. Toggled on would mean a Plant Barrel could contain Plump Helmets, and Dimple Cups, and other plants together. Toggled off would mean the Barrels are restricted to a certain food. Instead of a Plant Barrel, it would be a Plump Helmet Barrel and a Dimple Cup Barrel.--[[User:Yggiz|Yggiz]] 04:08, 28 January 2008 (EST)

===Refuse orders===
Dwarves can do different things with different types of [[refuse]].
You can tell them to ignore refuse altogether {{K|r}} for a smelly fort, or to gather refuse even from outside {{K|o}} which is mainly useful for collecting animals killed by military dwarves (only [[ambusher|hunters]] will return animals they kill).
Each type of refuse can be toggled between "save" (bring to a stockpile) and "dump" (throw in a garbage dump [[activity zone]])

===Workshop orders===
Many workshops will generate tasks automatically, from this menu you can turn that off for selected workshops.
The [[loom]] and [[clothier's shop]] can be further configured to use only dyed thread/cloth or any type.
Since finished clothing cannot be dyed, this is one way to make sure the clothing is of best quality possible.

===Activity zone orders===
Fishing and drinking (water source) zones can be set to mandatory here, which can be useful if you need to keep [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]] away from a [[carp]] infested river.
