I'm a little confused by the "Z" - Stocks lists.

Looking at footwear it says 42 - then a long list breaking down all the footwear I guess I've made.  My question is what is the 42?  Is that what is available? Being worn? 

Here is a screenshot:

The stocks screen lists everything on the map. That may be things you have made, stuff that your starting dwarves and migrants brought, possessions of the caravans and their personnel, and things that are in the caverns (if you have found any).

The color code is helpful:

Also, you can zoom to any specific item.

Specifically, the 42 is the number of free (un-built, non-forbidden) items of that category on your map, the the number in red next to it is the number of built and forbidden items of that category are on the map.

so, for instance, I can tell you have 25 seeds currently planted, 101 cabinets built, 77 doors, 82 beds, etc...

the real question is, why is it only showing 42 when you clearly have so many more- do you perhaps have so many shoes, socks, and other items on site that the number could have reached the maximum display value and started counting over from 1?(I don't know if it even does that, but it's the only explanation I can think of for that low number)

Only time that it would do something like that is when you reached 32,767 at the lowest (with it much more likely going up to 65,535 or even possibly 2,147,483,647), so I sincerely doubt you have that much footwear.

It might be that display bug that causes characters to be dropped.

Or DF read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Or there's a lot of stuff marked for dumping or forbidding or something.

Could that list be counting footwear that was traded away?  I've bought out a few caravans with x(cloth sock)x and clothes.

Just looked again with the big font - 423 footwear.  But there is no way I have that much.   My stock pile is 81 blocks with 0 bins and is half empty.  50 or so socks and they are all worn.  I only have 92 dwarves so that could be 184...I'm confused.

You are forgetting a factor of two in your calculations. Each dwarf is wearing two shoes, but they are also wearing two socks. As such 92*2*2=368.

Also according to your stocks list there 423 is right, with the big things being the 110 rope reed shoes and the 118 rope reed socks (both of which were probably brought with your dwarves when they immigrated in.

[Laurin]

For instance, the alder boots are elvenware. Unless you acquired them from a caravan, they are still caravan items.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Wait, why are most of your socks and shoes rope reed?

[KVC627]

I buy all my cloth and a lot of leather from the caravans and use cloth to make stuff out of.  I must have bought 25 or 30 bins of the stuff over time.. Wht shouldn't they be rope reed?
