Fixes a serious cooking-reservation issue from the last update: after certain actions chefs could all stop working and the queue got stuck on "waiting"—even with plenty of ingredients—and tasks couldn't be canceled even after a restart. Also redesigns the cooking queue with a dedicated Chef bar, so queued orders no longer get pushed out of view when several chefs cook at once. Affected saves auto-repair on load.
Gameplay Improvements
- Cooking Queue · Redesign: The queue is now 3 Chef slots + 5 queued slots (with a divider). Chef slots unlock by chef count and show each chef's current dish and progress (a faded chef portrait when idle); no matter how many chefs cook at once, queued orders are no longer pushed out of view.
Bug Fixes
- Cooking · Chefs idle: Fixed a serious issue where, after certain actions (e.g. queuing a batch, then canceling an under-stocked dish mid-way), all chefs could stop working and the queue got stuck on "waiting" even with plenty of ingredients.
- Cooking · Cancel: Fixed canceling a queued dish causing chefs to re-queue the whole batch after every dish, and tasks still uncancelable after a restart.
- Cooking · Wake-up: Chefs now start immediately once ingredients are restocked or a task becomes doable.
- Old saves: Affected stuck saves auto-repair on load.
