Don't use resource unless stockpiles exceed N

Please give us the ability to specify per building how large current stockpiles of a resources have to be before it is allowed to consume from it. This would provide a great way to make a precise ordering of which building is entitled to resources before another, which I often feel I need to play this game optimally and find lacking.
Example: tell the smokehouse not to burn through the entire coal reserve and leave the hearths cold while the lizards are having a feast. Leave AT LEAST 30 coal for the rest of us to warm ourselves by, Lizards!

You can already do this from the main warehouse.
If you are in list mode, you can set the minimum number of a good to keep - workers won't use the resource if it would go below that number.
The lock button will save the "warehouse limit" for future villages, but I don't recommend clicking to lock the limit. Otherwise, limits set in one village will still be set when you start a new one. It can be confusing and hard to find why you can't use coal the next time you play - but it's because of a limit you set in a previous village.
They added an option in the 1.3 experimental build called "Save Warehouse Limits" that I suggest you uncheck.
I'm not exactly sure how this works with food (for example, villagers might eat the food, regardless of whether or not a limit is set. I don't know if they will starve or leave, or if they will ignore the limit.)
BTW, developers, I think it might make more sense in English to call them "warehouse reserves" or "reserved resources". "Limits" are usually used for the idea of "no more than..." like speed limits. A "reserve" is usually an amount that is set aside (like "strategy oil reserves")
