Summary0009792: Managed jobs decrement all like orders, producing wrong number of total items
DescriptionManaged jobs seem to count each item produced against all jobs that match it, which can result in fewer items being produced than you ordered.
Steps To ReproduceQueue up multiple jobs for the same thing (for example, 4 beds, 4 beds and 4 beds). Watch progress and note that only 6 beds are produced, not 12.
Additional InformationEach time an item is produced, it is counted against every pending job that matches.

While the above example is trivial, quite often I want to have a job queue with an assortment of items for a high priority task, followed by a bunch of low priority production, often for the same items. So bed-door-cabinets-coffers for a noble room, then bed-door sets for the peasantry.

The count also only seems to be decremented for jobs other than the topmost priority if it's not the last item of the order. So for the 4/4/4 example above, it goes to 3/3/3, then 2/2/2, then 1/1/1, then 1/1 (first one finished and doesn't wipe out the other two), then 1, then complete with 6 beds having been made.

Update: the counts for jobs to produce the same item are decremented even if the other job has not started yet (because of a condition).

Reminder sent to: SteveTheRed

Steve, post a save where this is happening. I've witnessed it myself, so I'll confirm it with a save.

Well, ok: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12082 [^]

It's trivial to reproduce, so here's an example showing it in a brand new fort.

Just wanted to link this to mine. I encountered something similar in my report 0009803

As OP poste, it's trivial to produce. I don't know why a save is even required for this. I posted steps to produce in my report.
