Dwarves not putting stuff in refuse stockpiles.
« on: March 16, 2013, 10:36:26 pm »

Like the title says, my dwarves hate putting things in refuse piles. Vermin corpses are in the beer, a dead kobold is in the hall, but they won't take them away. The things are not forbidden and there are idle dwarves. What am I doing wrong?

Check your orders menu to see what the refuse settings are. Also make sure available dwarves have refuse hauling on, and that the stockpile isn't full of vermin remains or butchering products (I would recommend using a garbage dump instead of a refuse stockpile, and manually designating corpses for dumping). Also confirm that any burrows, civilian alerts, undead badgers etc aren't preventing your dwarves from reaching the area.

Ah, thanks. The orders were the problem and it's fixed now.
