Forgive me for the occasional slip up. Just make a note here of where I managed to screw up, so that I may endeavor to learn from my mistakes.
Prepared meals
re: "I don't know why you made the claim that you can't set a stockpile for them exclusively."
Can you explain how to do it? My understanding of the UI is that you tell the stockpile what types of food to have and then flag (u) as to whether to include prepared meals or not. That means that prepared meals AND unprepared food (ie raw ingredients) will also fill up that pile. For example, if I set the stockpile to allow only seeds and then leave (u) flagged then both seeds AND prepared meals made from seeds will fill that stockpile. If my understanding is wrong, I apologize. Either way, I want to include the information in the page because I don't think it is obvious. That means that if indeed you can set an exclusively prepared meal stockpile, I would like to have explicit instructions in the article (because I don't know how to do it yet myself).
Thanks!--Jpwrunyan 12:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- No need to apologize, but your understanding is, indeed, wrong. Blocking/forbidding all foodstuffs and hitting u will create a stockpile with nothing but prepared food. Once it's prepared, it doesn't matter what's in it - it's generic "prepared food" as far as stockpiles go. (You can still sort pf by quality, iirc.)
- Look at the "& stockpiles" subsection of the kitchens article (where currently "prepared meals" are addressed - it's all there already. Also a link to that same section under [Food#Cooked food]) --Albedo 12:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
