I have a finished goods stockpile to hold jewelry. Earrings, crowns, scepters, etc, of any material (artifacts excluded of course). A goblin walked into my fortress and threw herself on a trap dumping a -cow hair earring- and a -guineafowl nail crown -. Neither of which are being hauled to the stockpile. Is it the material (hair/nail) causing the problem ans if so, how do i store them?

[brainfreez]

did you unforbid the earring ?

[_Ivan_]

Definetly. It's not forbidden and there is a clear path as well as turning off my burrows settings. Also, tons of idle dwarves ~70.

Worth checking...is there room in the stockpiles?  I tend to find that the extreme amounts of cloth and leather goblinite left over after a gobbo xmas often exceed the capacity of your storage for finished goods.

[Garath]

is it made from something weird? nail or hair, mostly. Those never seem to get stored anywhere because the stockpiles don't recognise it as a valid material for an earring

[slink]

I quantum dump items made of weird materials, into a dump somewhere safe that I turn on and off for that purpose.  Unfortunately, that method doesn't work for artifacts made of gems.

[_Ivan_]

Yeah, i have a couple gem artifacts too. I think the only thing we can do is destroy the shop, wall off the artifacts and nail up a plaque reading "WARNING: Undefined materials within.". 


No wierd materials either...... It is made of hair (and other one nail) only. 

The stockpile has exactly 6 spaces free and there is nothing being produced from the craftsdwarf shop to fill it. The workshop floor is also empty. I checked it on a hunch there might be pending haul jobs taking up the rest of the stockpile.

Is this because hair and nail are not listed in the 'Other Materials' section? I thought the 'Additional Options' covered it?

[Quietust]

Hair and nail (and several other materials) have no classifiers on them, which means there is no way they will ever be stockpiled. If you edit material_template_default.txt and add [TOOTH]/[HORN]/[PEARL]/[SHELL]/etc. to the appropriate material templates, it should allow them to be stockpiled (though it'll also let you use them at a craftsdwarf's workshop to make crafts and add decorations).

Ahh, thank you!

I don't see why i shouldn't. If the game will throw hair earrings at me, why shouldn't my craftsdwarves throw back?
