Bin improvements
« on: August 28, 2006, 09:21:00 am »

Could we set bins to accept only certain types of bar/block, like racks do?  Mainly to differentiate between charcoal, metal bars, and stone blocks.

Also, would it be possible to assign specific bins to a stockpile before anything gets put in, rather than having the dwarves default to putting stuff into the next free bin wherever it is

I have a masonry, producing rock blocks, with a bar/block stockpile right next door, close to where the blocks will be needed.  The mason makes a few.  They get put in the stockpile.  Then a dwarf comes trundling along and starts picking up stone blocks and hauling them off to the spare bins in my furniture stockpile halfway across the map.

NO, YOU LITTLE MORON.  DON'T DO THAT.

Yeah, I hate that.  Piles should take precedence over containers, not the other way around.
