Summary0004930: Fishing takes precendence over all other tasks
DescriptionDwarves seem to massively prioritize fishing over all other tasks, if a dwarf is set to fishing and there are fish to be caught he will often never even embark on other tasks. I've noticed some tasks seem to be far higher priority than others, most notable being fishing because it seems fairly exclusive rather than just higher priority.
Steps To ReproduceFind a map with fish, turn on fishing tasks, set other tasks while fishing remains on. Until the fish are gone the dwarf won't perform the other tasks.
Additional InformationThis is more of a feature request than bug report.

It would be really nice to be able to set a priority for dwarf tasks much like the slider in the trade meeting screen for what you want next time they come and it would be kinda cool from a 'dwarf brain' perspective if a dwarf personally based on traits would add a +1 -1 to various tasks due to personality traits.

If a dwarf hated the outdoors a -1 to hunting, fishing, wood cutting...
If a dwarf was lazy a -1 to "hard" labors that raise strength notably...
If a dwarf was fond of procrastination he might occasionally put of his highest priority item for a while to do something else that he had a + in...
etc.

Your mileage may vary.

For the record, feature requests do not belong in this tracker - they should be posted in the Suggestions forum.

As Quietust notes, feature requests should go to the Suggestions forum.

There are a number of job priority bugs filed already, however, and fishing priority is not among them. For that portion of the report, I think this issue can stay open.

Changed title to reflect bug part of the report. I've left the suggestion text in for now, Shadus, so you can copy it and paste it somewhere else.
