Hi Guys,

I am in cycle 1100 with 28 dups, do you encounter a bug when the chef doesnt want to cook anymore even in priority his only job is cook and there is plenty of ingredients. I had to delete and create the Grill for him to return back his interests in cooking

I only use females for the cook task.

ye I've had that happen in my colonies where the chef starts acting up. Even when I use disable everything on his priorities apart from cooking.
Also happens when I have 20+ dupes and have been playing for 500+ cycles.

Sounds like a bug, you can report it here

Do me a favor,  disable all cooking instructions that have forever marked on it. This is what I had to do to make it so my cook kept cooking, I had to put in actual numbers. I think that is where the bug is, you may also have to empty the contents of the grill before he starts cooking, as this will clear the bugged recipe in the current position. 

Before you submit bug, it would be nice to recreate it. I have put this game down for a bit, or else I would do it. This bug happened to me at cycle 100 with 11 dupes, The fix I posted above has been working after dealing with that bug for over 100 cycles.

I also have this issue, it started acting up at around cycle 350. It's something going wrong at the electric grill where I had 4 recepies queued up indefinitely: pepper bread, BBQ, stuffed berry and omelete. What I did now was splitting up the recepies across 2 grills (I also deconstructed and rebuild the original grill to empty its contents). So far that works for me, but I still have to try it out further to see if it doesn't bug out again.

I just ran into this and I know why it's happening.

I had Pepper Bread and BBQ on the same grill both set to forever. MY BBQ production had ramped up and outpaced my Pepper bread production so the grill got stuck trying to produce Pepper Bread while the fridge filled with meat leaving no room fro grains, at that point Pepper bread production was impossible but rather than skipping it and going to the next possible recipe (BBQ) it just sat there waiting for non-existent Sleet Grains and dupes started starving.

So, back to the old each grill gets only 1 recipe method,

It's also possible that my grill was filled up with meat, I didn't think to check that., but it has an auto sweeper above it, so it seems likely.
