You mean like this one?



You're seeing what I think is two separate bugs combined.

Firstly, I am willing to bet that if you dump your cloth out into a cloth stockpile without bins that you'll be able to use it.  I'm finding that using things in barrels/bins to make other things is problematic.

Secondly, I think the 10,000 figure is just a reporting bug. I get it if I don't have any cloth to make a bag, but as soon as I have 1 dyed cloth NOT IN A CONTAINER, I can make a bag just fine. :)

It's just some confusion that comes from a change I think was done mainly for hospitals.  The 10000 isn't full completed units. "All cloth and thread items have associated lengths/areas now. Threads are use for sutures (thus, one "thread" item could be used for multiple sutures) and cloth is used for bandages. Items in this way aren't split (a la coins or bolts), but rather, they're consumed in pieces."  So, to make a bag, maybe they need 10000 length/area units of cloth.  I guess 1 produced unit of cloth has 10000 area units?  That's part of the confusion.

Yeah, if you go into the Hospital zone settings you can see that cloth and thread are allocated at 10,000 and 15,000 units each, respectively.  I don't know why your cloth is unusable unless it's being tied up or, as random said, being kept in barrels is somehow causing a conflict with tasking it.
