Specifics about stockpiles and workshops.
« on: June 19, 2013, 11:07:32 pm »

I would like to know how to unsure that my mason only takes from a source close to his shop.  I would also like to know how to keep fishermen from taking an entire barrel from my food stores to collect one fish.  I am certain that this question is answered in detail somewhere but I have been unable to find it.  A link will do, but if someone would be so kind as to list it out with mention of the key bindings it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, PoB.

Stockpile links is what you need.  You can set your mason's workshop to only take from a specific stockpile.  For the fish barrel issue, you create a pair of stockpiles.  One stockpile is a "feeder" pile that doesn't allow containers.  It's set to accept from anywhere, while giving its items to the main stockpile.  The main stockpile is set to allow containers, but only accepts items from links.  For a more in-depth explanation, check out the DF Wiki entry on Stockpiles.
