3 years ago +1 for this as well. It looks like something to do with the reservation system. I haven't had a chance to dig into it, but I noticed that if I draft then undraft a pawn they will switch jobs. Example: Pawn has research set as a 1 priority and crafting as a 2. Pawn is researching Draft -> Undraft Pawn goes to craft Draft -> Undraft Pawn goes back to researching
When pawn complete job it automatically switches to another one. For example, i have ordered to cook 10x simple meals. Pawn cooks 1 meal and starts to perform another job (mining, plant cutting, whatever). Once pawn cut down 1 tree or mine 1 tile, it start cook 1 meal again. And so it goes on in an endless circle until pawn get only 1 priority in work tab. Tested on fresh save with only harmony, core and z-levels enabled (no royalty).
