Quote and manufacture exact planks
Verify reservation, timing and retained ancestry at the workbench.
Prerequisites: Expert timber produced at least two logs in one carried measured lot. The Mill cut planks recipe requires Milling level 1. Do not substitute a plain log stack when checking measured ancestry.
Step by step
Tick a step after observing the expected result. Saved on this device only.
01Select the exact stock
Open Workshop → Measured-batch workbench. Choose Mill cut planks, Batches 1, Process Preserve. In Batch for the log input, choose your measured timber lot.
The selected quantity covers both required logs. The selection identifies the actual lot, not only its template.
02Preview twice
Choose Preview exact batch. Record the predicted quality, retained properties and seconds per batch. Repeat without changing the stock.
The two quotes agree. Bag quantities remain unchanged because a quote reserves nothing; baseline preserve time for planks is 4 minutes 12 seconds before facility adjustment.
03Review and commit
Choose Review own manufacture. Inspect recipe, quantity, process and selected lot, then commit. On Discord use Work → Craft materials with the same selected input map and review it.
The selected two logs move into the job reservation. No second job can claim them.
04Inspect output at the boundary
Wait for the quoted duration and refresh. Inspect the new planks’ origin.
Two planks appear as a new measured batch. Their properties and quality match the committed quote, including its preservation loss.
05Follow ancestry
Inspect the plank batch’s recorded history and compare its consumed log ID with your private notes.
The actual input lot remains in the ancestry. The finished plank is not labeled as a newly extracted natural material.
06Check a stale selection safely
Quote another recipe with expendable test stock, close the form, and store that stock before trying to commit the old selected input.
Commitment rechecks custody and rejects unavailable stock; a past quote is not an inventory reservation.
