It just occurred to me -- can you add a "Reserved Bags" setting to the stockpile menu (like barrels and bins)?  That'd make it easy to reserve bags for sand gathering, leaf-processing, and milling, instead of having a hundred bags full of 1 seed each.

I thought about this a bit when I was doing barrels and bins, and it's a bit trickier than the barrels and bins, which is why I didn't do it.  Bags aren't specifically claimed by stockpiles, so it's harder to do the counts efficiently.  Still, it's something I want to do.

on the other hand... why bother putting seeds in bags at all? (aside from foreign seeds)

shouldn't they just empty the bag of seeds into the barrels rather than putting the bags in the barrels? it's not as if they take a bag out and sow the whole lot, is it?

whilst you are at it.. stop them from using masterpiece bags to collect sand, would you?

Good point 3b, but if barrels were bagless, they could only contain one type of seed, otherwise you'd be planting sweet pods when you wanted to plant plump helmets.

Bags should instead hold a limited number of seeds which could be scooped out of a designated seed barrel.  The entire bag (filled with seeds) could then be hauled to the field where perhaps an entire row of food could be planted at once.

as long as the moron doesn't drop the whole seed bag and wander off somewhere else and let the flood wash the whole lot away.

A floodgate flood won't harm the seeds, or even displace them.  A seasonal flood will move them around, but if they're pushed downstream into the river itself, they'll be lost.
