Yes, I am in the process of designing the new pawn manager. The current one was just meant to be a placeholder. You should be able to see their inventories for example.
The "lack of resources" Tudi message appears when a pawn can't find the object they are trying to harvest. There are alot of reasons this can happen. Most of the time this is overharvesting. There are other corner case reasons, but for you this was not-overharvesting. Rather a complaint about their job being conflicting with their gathering target. This should be ignored. I have removed that Tudi message in its entirely, as its already in Logs [L].
The storage chest is visibly shown as open, if it is in use.
All storage is shared.
The same bug which caused aspirations to screw up, caused them to use the stonecutter to make Ashlars. I found that kind of funny. As it means one of the pawns was using the stonecutter while you weren't at the camp, using up all of the stone they were gathering.
Stress is not working, pawn needs are not implemented.
As for the "empty" Storage Crates. They are not empty. All storage from all sources is automatically combined into a single accessible inventory. You can only access this inventory from Chests. I admit is was painful to watch you check every chest in the camp not noticing they all contained the same items.
Pawns will always upcycle. So they will convert 9 logs to 3 lumber, then 3 lumber into 1 plank. I do plan to have the pawn manager give the option to not upcycle.
The spinning wheel questline will now check if you already have the cotton you need to make thread.
>It would be cool if I heard a low tone right now.
Sure, I can do that.
