i can't seem to change the reserved barrels option in the stockpile screen. it just doesn't seem to have a key.

that's the problem - in old versions, the key has been / and * on the right hand keypad to change barrel reserves (same key's as i change to Z level up & down)

but with 40d11, and a new tileset i'm not used to (with accent's, so i don't know what's going on for alot of keys, you just learn around it) i can't seem to change the reserves.

the key's it has next to the option are unclear - and so far no options, with or without shift pressed, seem to be able to add reserve barrels. and i've scoured the key binding list and can't seem to find the suitable key anywhere.

can anyone help? thanks in advance - i don't know if i can make it any clearer what the problem is - i simply can't seem to find the key or binding option for the 'reserved barrels' option in the stockpile screen. thank you

i just turned off the tileset to see what key it said was designated for reserve barrel - and to my dissapointment it says the keys are / & * for plus and minus of reserved barrels. bit sad.

if anyone can give me any insight into this it'd be good - if i'm gonna brew beer we need barrels though :(

perhaps this could be a 40d12 only bug though - as it does say that the keys for reserve barrels is what i thought ( / and * on the keypad) and they definately don't work.

thanks again.

40d12 has problems with the numpad.  It's being worked on.  In the mean time, you should be able to move your save back to a previous version such as 40d11.

You are right, the reserve bins and reserve barrels do not have thier own bindings.  I am going to guess that they are using the 'Secondary Selector' group of bindings.  You might consider setting your up/down Z bindings to Insert and Delete instead of / and *.

In any version having multiple bindings on the same key within the same screen leads to problems.  The first binding to match a keystroke is the one that gets it.

so you're saying there is no way to change the 'secondary selector' keys? |:(    .. / & * are so perfect when you're using the plus minus of the keypad and the middle directional keys with your left hand and your right hand does the q,k,v,l,etc work.

i'll report back if changing the Z level keys does anything - i do say though, i have set the keypad to 'default' (pressing Load on the key bindings screen) but it didn't alleviate the issue.

this should be posted as a 40d12 bug for toady as i guess it's a pretty important feature - if you want potash or beer that is.. :/

You can change the secondary selectors, it will affect many other views is all.  They are about 1 page down from the top of the binding list.  I am also not sure whether those are the ones used for reserved bins/barrels.

Pressing Load on D12's keybinding view reloads the file.  It is there so you don't have to quit DF in order to relaod if you make some mistake.  All the default bindings are stored in the original file that is in the download.  If you need to restore the defaults replace the file data/init/interface.txt with the original.
