settlers did not obey craft

[Mc_Peterson]

I was playing so I sent my colonist go make food and had nothing there but there had orders to do

A little more information on this:

I made a cooking stove, set it up to cook simple meals at, and it worked fine.
Later, I made a second stove, also cooking simple meals. Still worked fine, people cooked at either stove, but when I made a third one and made them make different meals (one simple meal, one fine meal, and one lavish meal), but they would only use the stove with a bill to cook simple meals. They'd do this whether or not there were other jobs to do, every single colonist could be idle and still prefer to not cook, even if I used manual priorities and maxed their cooking priority.

do you guys have the save files?
if you attach them in the post, that way there could be more people (maybe even other players like myself =P) able to help you

as it would be much easier way of figuring out/solving the problem

The interface does not tell you if a station has the materials required for a bill. If the materials are not available the task will just sit there... waiting... and you won't know why.

Simple meals use 10 of anything. They do not require any meat, so be sure to disable this in the bill's options or they'll waste meat.
Fancy meals use 5 veggies and 5 meat.
Lavish meals use 10 veggies and 10 meat.

Meat is a limited resource in vanilla, and human meat is a HUGE psych penalty so don't even think about it. You have to purchase TONS of meat regularly from traders to keep the high quality meals flowing.

Oh, this makes a lot of sense. Really should be a warning or little pop-up graphic on the stove (or other crafting buildings) if they don't have any materials.
