Think I must've hit a food cap, as I'm now noticing dwarves won't haul meat away from the butcher's shop either.

Guess it's time to put the brakes on my food production for a few months.

No need to stop, just make tons of barrels!

I would, but like I said, I's gots no trees, and the only native metals I can find are copper and nickel. And platinum, but I'm not making no platinum barrels. So, I gotta either 1)Break down and start using iron to make barrels, or 2)Wait for the lazy caravans to bring me more wood.

usually a goal of mine is to have a barrel for every spot in my food stockpiles... maximize storage and space and wahtnot (and keeps food safe from vermin then if it's laying out...

you could build a kitchen and produce on repeat lavish meals. this will eat at least 5 ingredients per unit and increase your fortress wealth. and a valuable trade good.

Got the problem ironed out a bit, unloaded a lot of food on some unsuspecting caravan, rebuilt a few farms, everything seems alright. I do notice there's a barrel that contains multiple bags inside of it. I assume that's normal for flour right?
