Crimson and Petrified amber workers smithing Verisium

Miners and smelters will work on other things if their assigned item is empty. This is explained in the help panel.

Hi. I have encountered a similar issue where my workers were smelting my Bismuth ore when I placed them in Verisium or AMber and there was no other ore to smelt.

Edit* just saw previous reply. If this is not a bug it should be changed asap. I am sure I am not the only one who is trying to save my ore as ore to send out shipments and its smelting what I dont want it to smelt. Micromanaging the town panel and resource allocation is kinda the point...

I'll have to disable all smiths to upgrade town and such, as there's no other way to rack up the Verisium without having it made bars.
