Summary0009740: Conditional work orders only look at existence of items, not availability
DescriptionI created work orders at smelters, kitchen, 2 farmers workshop, and 4 still. Each work order is conditioned on required items.
The kitchen constantly produces a cancellation messages because I have a stack of tallow forbidden. Correction: observe the forbidden state when checking for availability.
The stills regularly produce cancellation messages because pig tails are not allowed to be brewed. Correction: check the cook/brew settings when determining availability.
The smelters produce cancellation messages because the ores are not in the special stockpile that supplies them. Correction: check to make sure that specific workshop can access the item.
A farmers workshop produces cancellation messages when the last pig tail is being processed in the other workshop. Correction: check the tasked flag to determine availability.

There are probably other edge cases I have not yet found.
Additional InformationIt might be fewer clock cycles and simpler to block cancellation messages when an item required by a conditional work order turns out to not be available. With such a method any required item that is not part of the conditions should produce a message. For example I removed the barrel requirement from my brew job conditions; if a cancellation occurred for lack of barrel I would want to be told, but do not want to be told about lack of plants since that is the required condition that I expect the program to handle.

 Additionally when a work order has passed the conditional checks and gets set to "active", it will remain active permanently. In other words, after completing a job the work order does not go back to the "checking" state; and after failing and cancelling the work order does not go back to the "checking" state.

 I'm relating this to 0009741 for now; if it turns out that it would be more "complete" to wrap this one into that one, let me know.

 Hauling tasks (tasked bins), at least, seem to affect the count. Hospital-stored (in chests, haven't checked in-zone stockpiles) items, too.

Perpetual orders is a different issue. Those never stop because the check is made every time an infinite-sized batch is done.

 Claimed bolts and tasked items in general also seem to be taken into account.

 Hmm. It seems like suppressing cancellation messages for when required items exist but are unavailable would be a logical improvement for conditional work orders. Only have the messages occur if the previously-available items get used up, forbidden, or tied up in construction?

Granted, unsure how complex that would be to implement.
