Eletric grill orders being Finicky

[jaramass]

Hey, i have a problem with cooking orders being ignored even though resources are seeming viable and the dupe is forced to only cook, any one else? how do i overcome the problem?

Just noticed that the Chef dupe "fake" delivered resources running back and forth but not actually transporting anything

same happens with water pump. had a dupe pump forever without filling the bottle lol. the animation kept repeating. I had to disable pumps and set up several cookers with restricted access and storage containers for ingredients and products lol

If you have three continuous orders, the first will display "no resources", while the second and third will compete for the second "no resources" slot.

I had it happen to me, and dupes would pick up resources, move a couple of feet, then drop what they're holding as the requested resource changes.

As a result I now limit grills to two orders at any one time.

I noticed seeming to happen with recipes that have multiple ingredients and some were unavailable - it got stuck trying to cook pincha-needing recipes when I was out of peppers, and all cooking stopped until I noticed.

I saw a similar problem with "fake" deliveries, where the grill needed <1g of an ingredient but kept getting deliveries of nothing:

Using "empty storage" on the grill seemed to fix it.

This explains a lot. I was having the issue with dancing until i removed BBQ, making the task count 2.

Temporarily, yes.

Yeah how is this not confirmed issue? My dupes get stuck carrying X mg of food and delivering 0g.

Mutiple players reported this bug for months but Klei had more prioritized tasks to do. I really hope that they look into it soon. I almost lost my base twice because of that and now I'm a bit paranoid about it so I check the grills every cycle.

Yeah I gave up and have 3 grills, 2 grills run just ONE damn thing and 3rd grill just cook rest of trash like shrooms,BBQ,omelette and whatnot. I feed my dupes pepper bread and berries and rest is fed to hatches.

Heh I make them eat their own meat and eggs.

Been happening to me constantly, my grill had around 300 partial ingredients in it as it's been bugging out like that for weeks now.  I'm just constantly cycling between a few things to cook and that "fixes" it (BBQ/Pepper Bread/Stuffed Berries, luckily I grow the parts for all three).  I did a clean out by selecting the ingredients then telling them to compost them then cancelling it, that seems to fix it sometimes but not always.  The worst part is the amount of wasted food this was creating, so I moved my grill to my freezer where it's -20 and that helped with the food wastage at least.
