At the moment when changing my taxes food rations or labor Work priorities you create a new task in the building queue which is really unintuitive and annoying.
This is not only annoying because you waste a lot of time and potential resources waiting for your order to be executed, it can actually fuck your economy up in a lot of ways.
I had to demolish one of my farms at some point because my main city was busy failing at upgrading (not making progress because of a lack of resources) and I couldnt change my labor work priorities to actually produce the resource I was missing.
It would be a lot better to just separate the building queue and administrative tasks.
I hope I didnt just misunderstand the mechanic ;D
