Current Behavior

I noticed this first with builders, but it has since extended to also foresters as soon as I built one, so I'm assuming this is a general problem.

Basically, when a builder or forester or other tool-using profession uses up a tool, they will request a tool and set themselves into the needs_item job state (confirmed via /minecolonies citizen), as would be expected. However, the tool request never makes it into the request system, causing the builder to idle in their hut.

Things to note:

• The request is never actually broadcast to the system, nothing is visible in the clipboard and the couriers do not deliver anything.
• There is also nothing in the builder's requests tab.
• Giving them the item directly or into the hut inventory does NOT resolve the issue. My current workaround is to give them the item, then fire and rehire, as this resets the internal state. This is obviously a bad and unintuitive solution.

Expected Behavior

Tool requests to properly propagate to the request system.

Reproduction Steps

Note: The reproduction steps are not 100% clear because sometimes, it magically works; though more often than not, it is broken.

1. Place down a builder's hut and hire a builder, ideally in a place where they need to dig out a bit.
2. Start construction of the building. They will request a tool to dig out some ground.
3. The issue may already arise here. If it does not, fulfill their request and wait until they use up the tool.
4. The issue has (should have) been replicated.

Anything else?

I'm running a modpack of ~90-100 mods, so it is unlikely but possible that this is a bad mod interaction. If you cannot reproduce, please let me know, and I will provide the mod list.

This issue was also touched upon in #10255, which reported another bug I also encountered.

Thanks for figuring out the details what causes this, had several reports but couldn't find a reproduction.
Will try tomorrow.

Oh, I mentioned it in passing in my forester zone tool not working report too. I had to give the forester all the tools, but they were still asking for an item in citizen info command, and then had to do a request system reset for them to actually start moving. Freshly hired, so there had been no tool breaking. Glad you worked it out!

Important note: This appears to be a multiplayer-exclusive issue. I tried and failed to reproduce this bug in singleplayer.

Couldn't reproduce this, confirmed it seems to be working in the newest version.
