Summary0001676: Legendary dwarves handicap themselves when mining
DescriptionDwarves receive penalties to mining efficiency from being drowsy, thirsty, or hungry. They will continue mining (and thus ruining good materials) while drowsy, thirsty, or hungry. Legendary dwarves ruin good ore veins and gems.

I can't see how anyone would want their dwarves to continue acquiring mining jobs when they are not fit to do them. At least having the ability to disable this would be acceptable. Right now, the only options are to disable mining or remove designations.
Steps To ReproduceDesignate a large number of mining jobs for a legendary miner. Watch as his/her efficiency drops off while becoming drowsy, thirsty, and hungry, but miner insists on continuing work and ruining raw materials.

I'd hesitate to call this a duplicate. Related, certainly, but this is more about the lessened quality of work done by starving/dehydrated dwarves, rather than the hunger/thirst itself.

There was already a some discussion about this in the comments, though -- see 0000008:0004815. Having a separate line of discussion here wouldn't be productive at this point.
