Summary0005857: Can't built restraint using rope if no chains are available
DescriptionWhen both ropes and chains are available as building materials, attempting to build a restraint will let you choose either material.

When only ropes are available, however, the UI will not allow a restraint to be constructed. Instead, a message is shown saying that no chains are available.
Steps To Reproduce1. Stock fortress with ropes but not chains.
2. Attempt to build a restraint using a rope.
3. Observe the message stating that no chains are available.
4. Build a chain at a workshop.
5. Repeat step 2.
6. Observe that ropes can now be used to build restraints.
Additional Information- Note that forbidding all chains is not sufficient to reproduce this issue.
- Also, assigning all available chains to restraint building tasks and then attempting to build a rope restraint will not trigger the issue either. I'm not sure of whether the issue will trigger after the chain restraints are actually built.
- It's possible that once a chain comes into your dwarves' possession, the issue may permanently clear up.

Bah, I misspelled "build" as "built" in the Summary.
