Hi all,

Possible bug here (34.11): Dorfs will eat/drink forbidden stuff, even if non-forbidden goods are nearby. I hit this in two ways so far:

1. Forbidding my rock pot prepared meals so they'll eat the ones in wood barrels that I can't sell to the elves
2. Forbidding stocks of food meant to sustain workers I've locked into isolated work areas.

In both cases, dozens of greedy guts swarm the verboten goods -- they almost seem to prefer them -- leaving nothing for the intended use.

For isolated work areas, I can always put the goods behind a second locked door until I've locked everyone else out, but I don't know a way to make a stockpile accept only rock pots or barrels but not both so I can isolate the rock pots.

Suggestions?

Did you forbid the barrel or the food inside of it? There is a difference. Anyways when you go to check on the contents of the barrel, examine the food itself and hit f.

Alternatively, jus sell the food in wood barrels to humans/dwarves and the stuff in rock pots to the elves.

Barrel and food both, using mass forbid. I've actually caught the buggers in the act, and watched my {dwarven wine[18]} become {dwarven wine[17]} as Urist McThirsty guzzles it down.

Alternatively, jus sell the food in wood barrels to humans/dwarves and the stuff in rock pots to the elves.

I do that, but I need at least one stack of *roasts* to be in a pot to buy out the elven caravan -- for some reason you can only sell food inside a container, even though they'll happily sell you bare stacks. After the year two, though, there's plenty of food in rock pots, because I refuse to make wooden barrels.

Oh joy, this again. Just put him on your ignore list and it'll go away.
