Summary0013289: Farmer's Workshop has two near-identical jobs for quarry bushes
DescriptionThe Farmer's Workshop has two nearly identical jobs for quarry bushes. I am reporting it as a bug because it seems strange to have two jobs that are nearly identical on the same workshop.

The "process plants to bag" job only works on quarry bushes. It requires a quarry bush and a bag, and has an output of one rock nut and five quarry bush leaves.

The "process plants" function was updated in a recent patch to work on a broader range of plants. It now processes quarry bushes in addition to several other food plants (including other bushes, like blueberries). It does not require a bag. When used on a quarry bush, it produces one rock nut and one quarry bush leaf.
Steps To ReproduceFarm or gather quarry bushes underground.

At a Farmer's Workshop, try "process plant to bag" and "process plant" on quarry bushes. Observe that they both process the quarry bush into edible quarry bush leaves and into rock nuts, but with very minor differences.
Additional InformationI suggest keeping the "process plants" functionality and removing "process plants to bag" as a job function that is now redundant. From a user experience point of view, I would prefer not to use up bags on quarry bush crop processing, especially since other edible or usable plant leaves do not get stored in bags. It may be worth considering increasing the number of quarry bush leaves produced by "process plant" to five, to match old user expectations and ease the transition.

As noted in 0013272, the "process plants" job only returns a single quarry bush leaf, while the "process plants to bag" job produces 5 leaves (as originally intended).
