Sometimes you find that you need an apple, thanks to a monster's new demand, when you've already got things queued up on the tree.

I'm not entirely happy with the button label "New Order". First, it's not clear at first glance what it's supposed to do -- is it supposed to rearrange things? Second, it doesn't seem to be quite the right word for what the monsters are doing. They're not "ordering food", exactly; they're requesting it, or demanding it, or something like that.

I have found that a spreadsheet helps me to keep track of which monsters want which items. One row for each monster; columns for the things they want. Next I'll be adding additional columns for the needed raw resources, e.g. needed sugar cane = # sugar cane wanted by the monster + 3 * #sugar wanted + 6 * # cookies wanted, or whatever.
