I’ve actually noticed this for the past several versions. The job promotion tree doesn’t update itself as things change. For example, if I try to promote someone right when the game starts, no promotions are available because all of the talismans are being held and are not on the ground/in a stockpile marked as available.
Even when the items get dropped, the job promotion tree doesn’t update and show me the new available jobs. I have to close the tree and open it back up.
Nothing available; notice carpenter’s saw was dropped on the ground so I should be able to promote to that job.
im not sure I would classify this as a bug… you’re effectively saying the UI should update to show available promotion tools, regardless if the tools are accessible from a stockpile… yes?
This UI allows me to promote as long as the talisman for the promotion is either on the ground or in a stockpile.
If I open this promotion tree before a talisman exists or is available it will not allow me to promote. This is fine. However, if a talisman becomes available (on the ground or in a stockpile) while this window is open, it does not update. I have to close the promotion tree and reopen it to see the changes.
All of the other screens auto-update. For example, if I’m placing items, the item list will update with new items as my carpenter builds and places them in a stockpile. I imagine the promotion tree should behave the same way.
Basically, @jonzoid’s saying the promotion UI should update whilst open if a new profession talisman appears useable whilst it’s open. ATM it does not.
