Example

1) I set up a standard food stockpile

2) i set up a custom stockpile for seeds

3) i go back to my standard food stockpile but it seems its just seeds

i.e. everytime i edit a stockpile it seems to affect every other stockpile


I've seen it sone on the tutorial vids and am really stuck on what i am doing wrong

You sure you're not accidentally checking the same stockpile again and again? I've never had it happen to me.

[doctoxic]

i don't think so as they are on different levels

question: am i right in thinking that you can 'customise' a standard stockpile just by pressing t

or do you always have to use the c for customise button?

Also - when you have made your choices do you just escape out?  Most screens has something like ESC = done but this screen doesn't

Press C, Press T, customise, place stockpile.

That's what I do anyway. You can then press T, customise a different stockpile and then place that.

I guess just make sure your cursor isn't on the other stockpile (maybe you're editing the old one whilst setting on the new one?).

what do you do when you want to edit a stockpile thats already created?

[AutomataKittay]

I just pause the game and create the stockpile most closely relating to what it's purpose is, then customize it through selective disabling. I don't uses custom stockpile ( and I honestly don't remember how it works ).

It still seems buggy.

Q over the stockpile to edit it, and change it's setting.

[urmane]

A standard food pile includes seeds - don't forget to (q) over your standard food pile, hit (s)ettings, scroll to Food, then scroll to Seeds, and (f)orbid.  That will turn off seeds in your standard food pile.

If the custom pile for seeds is causing you problems, remove it and create another food pile, and (f)orbid everything *except* seeds.

[XXSockXX]

A custom stockpile is just a stockpile with everything disabled, you just need to enable categories like food and then enable subcategories like seeds.

Editing an existing stockpile does not seem to work so well, the dwarves won't exactly rush to remove stuff that is suddenly forbidden and in some cases they will mix up things in bins that they won't get separated later, like soap and metal bars for example.

Press (t) to set your custom stockpile settings, then place it like usual. With (c) you can place a stockpile with the latest settings.
