Heya chaps. I have a furniture stockpile. I have several workshops making furniture. However, it's never actually moved to the furniture stockpile, instead, people just come and take it out of the workshop. Hence, they're basically permanently cluttered. Has anyone else been having this problem? I tried remaking the furniture stockpiles, but still no joy. This only seems to happen with furniture.

I must do something wrong but stockpiles not working at all here.

Just built a medium world, started a new game. I have a butcher workshop and a carpenter one. I built two stockpiles, one for refuses and another enabling just the "barrels". Made a bunch of barrels to store the meat, but both the refuses in the butcher workshop and the barrels in the carpenter do not get moved to the proper stockpile and just sit there in the workshop.

What's wrong?

Maybe there are stones lying around in your stockpile.

Furniture usually isnīt able to share a stockpile tile with stones, therefore if all of your stockpile is covered with stones (from mining out the area) there will nothing be moved to it.

Ensure you have the quality settings enabled appropriately. If you create a stockpile for (say) doors, but don't have any of the quality categories enabled, then no doors will be moved there, as all doors have a quality rating. The same applies to barrels.

[Abalieno]

Yeah, the barrel stockpile wasn't working because I had just the "barrel" entry enabled and not the materials.

The default refuse stockpile instead isn't being used still...

[Proteus]

What kind of refuses did you activate? All?

And is there a valid path between the refuse stockpile and the butcher?
ANother possibility is, that you acivated "dwarves stay indoors" (o --> i) and the refuse stockpile is (as is normally the case) outdoors

[Dasqoot]

Dwarves gather refuse from outside is off by default. Kind of strange, but that is your problem, I believe.

I'v had this problem with the furniture stockpiles, but starting a new fort seems to fix the problem. I Haven't tried to reproduce the problem, but when it happened to me, it was after removing an old, working, stockpile; and replacing it with a new one indoors. Perhaps a correlation? I'll try and test it.

[Ezuku]

The furniture stockpile is as default. I've done no messing around with it. I've even remade it, but there's been no difference. I have even made another one, but still no difference.

I also removed an old, working, outdoor stockpile and replaced it with a new one indoors. That said, I'm sure a lot of people do that as well...

Try checking the {o}rders screen. There's an order called "u: Dwarves Gather/Ignore Furniture". Make sure it didn't get toggled off.

I'm an idiot. Thankyou so much; that fixed the problem. I have no idea how that option ended up turned on. For that matter, what's the use of said option anyway?

[Nesoo]

It's possible that you accidentally hit o instead of p when placing the stockpiles (p-u for furniture stockpile, o-u to toggle that option, o and p right next to each other...).

I think the purpose of those options is for when you need, say, food moved now, but you don't want to go through every dwarf that does hauling to disable all the other hauling tasks (and then have to go through all your haulers and turn them back on). But I don't know for sure, I've never used them because I always forget about them
