Jeez, I spent about an hour trying to figure this out. I have my glass industry going as I embarked near a volcano and some sand. I first had to get pig tail cloth industry going for bags, but now I have six magma glass furnaces and collecting tons of sand.
I wanted to cut glass into gems to encrust all my furniture with green glass gems. However, the “encrust furniture” work order/job requires cut gems, and not large gems. The default stopping condition for “cut raw glass into gems” which I wanted to use to supply the “encrust furniture with cut glass” is large green glass gems, not cut green glass. Apparently the cut raw glass job has a chance to produce either a cut gem or a large gem (which is useless).
Thus, the cut raw green glass work order stopped when I did not have enough cut green glass to encrust furniture. I was confused because I had all these large green glass gems in my stockpiles, which I originally thought could be used to encrust furniture.
The simple fix was to change the type and material for the “large gems” default condition of the cut raw glass to gems work order to “cut green glass gems”. Then I just trade away all the useless large green glass gems.
