Summary0000138: Liquid prepared meals melt, kitchen gets cluttered with booze
DescriptionWhile cooking lavish meals, my cook sometimes takes a barrel of booze or dwarven syrup, some other ingredients... and then cancels the job for some reason or another, which is normal. What is NOT normal however, is that the liquid will stay in the kitchen without its container and cause massive clutter, effectively rendering that kitchen useless. The only way to remove said liquid seems to be deconstructing the kitchen.
Not 100% sure what causes this, possibly dwarves trying to haul it away but taking only the barrel?

I think it's actually from dwarves SUCCESSFULLY cooking something using only liquids. If this happens, then they remain as liquids without a barrel in the workshop, rather than becoming prepared meals. The created "food" is still listed on the kitchen screen as cookable, though dwarves cannot cook or eat it.

Oh, and milk is cookable and causes this same thing now.

I'm seeing exactly the same thing. Booze-only foods are broken. Can't speak for liquid-only yet.

Confirmed reproduced here. It's a major problem since booze meals were the crux of my food supply historically.

I also have the same problem.

I think the intention was for liquids to act as flavouring and not provide actual subsistance to whatever base the cooked food used. But as it is right now, it's safest to disable all liquids from cooking due to this bug.

This is probably related so I'll just add it here.
I made a fine meal from booze. Cooking and stockpiling worked fine. Then I followed someone use it. First he had the job 'Drink' and a while later I go the message 'Dorf cancels eat: Job item lost or destroyed'. Also two parts vanished from the meal and one part seems to have turned into 'a pool of dwarven wine' which is under liquids in the stocks screen.

full stack of 40 dwarven syrup, gone. i was counting on that to feed my fortress.

apparently liquids cooked in with solids will create usable prepared meals. unfortunately there is no way to tell your cooks to alternate liquid/solid food use in preparing meals.

I cannot reproduce this in 31.02, though I could in 31.01. Perhaps it has been ninja-fixed?

Edit: Correction, it still happens. Just not ALL THE TIME.

31.01: Locked a cook in a room with a kitchen and beer. He cooked the beer when he had no other options (I forbade all food) and the problem described in the bug report happened (a 10 stack of "dwarven beer" is left behind)

31.02: Same behavior


So it hasn't been fixed

Still occuring in 31.02 for me.

The actual bug seems to be that barrels of booze/syrup are not freed up for any future uses (including cooking the same meals at the same kitchen) once the cook is done or stops making meals.

I had kitchens cluttered up by several barrels of the same booze.

Still happening 31.03. Randomly booze or syrup gets stuck in a kitchen workshop. It cannot be used for anything, its not contained in any barrel, cannot be dumped, and the only way to get rid of it is to deconstruct the workshop. It also does clutter up the workshop.

Workaround would be to disable cooking with booze or syrup to avoid this, but that does cut back hugely on the variety of meals that can be made.

Occasionally an all liquid roast will be made and will even be hauled to a food stockpile, but any dwarf who picks one up to eat it will have it turn into a puddle as soon as he touches it. I'm not sure why sometimes a roast can be made and hauled successfully, while sometimes it fails completely and gets stuck in the kitchen.

I haven't seen anything *that* extreme, but I am still seeing all-Drink meals turned into Liquids (listed in that section on the Stocks screen) and kept permanently in the kitchen in .05.

This should be fixed for 0.31.07.

edit: I should add that it is fixed by requiring a solid base, so be prepared!
