Deadzone on "Do until you have X" bills

Hello

I would like to see a deadzone -option on the "Do until you have X" bill to optimize the working routines.

I like to keep certain amounts of food, and "Do until you have X" bills with high priority on the task makes good work of it. Sadly it's a bit inefficient now, because if someone eats a dinner, My high priority cook stops all other work and runs to kitchen just to make one more dinner to fill the missing gap. For example, if i could set a low limit of X-5, that would mean that my cook would need to go fill the storages just once per day when everybody on my five person team has eaten.

thanks for reading ^_^

edit: Ok I just noticed the "your cheapest ideas" topic. My idea follows a simple logic, so I'd consider it cheap and easy to implement. Please move this to there if any mod stumbles on this.

That is actually already in the game, if I understand correctly what you want.

In the details section of the bill beneath "do until x" there is a checkbox for "pause when satisfied". Click it and then you can fine tune at which point they unpause the task.

Ah okay! I checked the details to see if such option would exist, but didn't undertand what "pause when satisfied" means. Thank you.

I guess we can move on now.

Thanks Emulsion.  I never knew what that meant.  Very helpful.
