Summary0001238: Labors taking too long / auto-clutter
DescriptionI'm finding that in an elephant-rich environment, my dwarves are finding it impossible to keep up with the flow of raw materials. Maybe it's due to the new size system, but with caravans killing an elephant or three every season, I have three kitchens and four bonecrafters going, and I still have a backlog of stuff.

I'm also finding that with my dwarves grabbing the large stacks of elephant items, dragging them off to a workshop, and getting to work the workshops become automatically cluttered to purple with gem marks, which may also be slowing things down even further,
Steps To ReproduceEmbark in elephant-rich area
Kill elephant
Butcher elephant
Start rendering fat and making bone crafts

Elephant fat clutter is reduced as the stack is whittled down: a 10-fat stacks only gives minimal clutter.
The first 20 or so rendering jobs are painfully slow though.

It would be nice if the cooks would take only one piece from the stacks, since they're only rendering one piece of fat at the time.

This isn't as big a problem for meat and organs since they cook the entire stacks at once, and it makes senses for an entire elephant's edible parts to fill up a kitchen and take forever to be processed, but it would probably be better for butchering to produce several stacks of 5-20 pieces so the meat can be processed normally and the prepared food stored in barrels (I got a horribly heavy stack of 150 elephant roasts once. Pretty inconvenient.)
