Summary

0001602: Decorating crafts uses up entire stacks of bone for single decoration. even stacks of 50+ elephant bones.

Description

attempting to force dwarves to decorate masterwork weapons, noticed that while bone crafts or decorating other objects, dwarf appears to use up an entire stack of bones, no matter how many bones are in the stack, to create a single decoration.

this is contrasted to how a dwarf will use individual bones from a giant stack when creating bone crafts, such as sceptres and rings. this may be intentional, but it seems very odd.

Steps To Reproduce

butcher an animal that gives a stack of bones
have some crafts available
have a craftsdwarf decorate an item with bone. he should use an entire stack, no matter how large, for a single decoration on a single item.

i noticed this with my steel masterwork weapons, and it happened with wood crafts and medical things like splints when i tested to see if it was only weapons.

Additional Information

using mike maydays df30 release, with partial print on. dwarves have speed 0 so i can spruce up my finished fort for adventure mode.
