Summary0008270: Lye Detection Fail
DescriptionI know someone else has posted this, but it's tagged "resolved" and I'm still experiencing it.

I tell the dorfs to make potash from lye. There are rock pots of lye sitting right next to the ashery.

Message comes up: "Urist LyeDetector cancels make potash from Lye: Needs lye-bearing item.

Again, there are several rock pots of lye next to the workshop. What gives?

Also, if it's relevant, making potash from ash seems to work fine.
Steps To ReproduceMake ash. Make Lye. Try to make Potash from Lye. Watch it fail.

Does it work if you produce lye into barrels instead of rock pots?

I've reopened 0004969 -- please post answers (and a save if possible) there.
