Cooking and Smelting

[Kami]

This is more of a suggestion to devs and maybe if someone has a good workaround do let me know.

Currently problem with cooking and smelting is that they require both cooking/smelting task priority AND delivery priority.
It works great if I put my smelter as a separate outpost with 1 dude who has smelting and deliveries set as task. He will successfully bring ore to smelt AND pick out the ingots relatively quick and gets a lot of job done. However when it's within a big village, there are so many delivery jobs that we either need 100s of villagers on delivery jobs or get hardly any smelting done because the time for someone to bother to pickup the products from smelter or cooking pot takes forever.
What I would expect is for smelting and cooking job to also include picking up product from smelter/cooking pot exclusively instead of having to also rely on deliveries which takes them for the full day adventure on other delivery jobs in the bigger village.

You could try and raise the priority of the cooking pot/smelter.
Not the job on your villagers but the building itself.

Ah. That sounds like it should indeed work. I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the great suggestion.

I think the main problem is that those lads carry only one by one item. They are so lazy they cant take full bags and then go to point B and empty it. Watched this so many times now. Bad programming, let me tell.
