I'm trying to duplicate some workshop functions in a custom workshop and wonder if there are ways to handle stacks? Specifically I'm trying to put milling reactions in a custom workshop so I can create jobs for each possible millable object instead of letting the miller flip a coin whenever I ask him to mill.

I've got it working where 1 plant + 1 empty bag = 1 dye in a bag + 1.5 loose seeds.

Of course the miller carried a stack of 3 plants over there, it would be nice if I could specify that he should process the entire stack, instead of just one of the individual plants per job.

If I can't work with stacks I suppose there are a couple options:

1. Require 3 dimple cups and an empty bag and produce a bag with 3 dye and 4.5 loose seeds. doesn't work, quantity 3 brings 3 stacks, not 3 plants

2. Produce loose dye and let the dwarves stick it in bags as a separate job. Have to juggle the dimensions I suppose to limit number of dyes per bag, I suppose.

Stacks work, as there are metal reactions that take multiples of one bar (measured in increments of 150). I imagine that other items could easily be done in multiples.

That said, the real trick here will be cracking the powder code.

Those reactions aren't using stacks, they're just using Reagent lines with quantities > 1. If they require multiple bars, the dwarf brings multiple bars, not stacks(bars aren't produced in stacks).

As for the powder code, I'm already making dimple dye in my custom workshop.

If I make reagent quantity 3, the reaction requires 3 stacks to be available, and the miller will bring 3 stacks of plants, although he will only use 3 plants in the process.

For testing purposes I'm creating stacks of 3 plants in a smelter reaction(since the plants aren't available at embark).

So, with reagent quantity 3 the miller brings 3 stacks of 3 plants to the workshop, uses 1 stack of 3 for the reaction, leaving 2 stacks of 3 in the workshop.

If I can't somehow specify stack then I am better off using 1 plant per reaction and not putting them into bags as part of the reaction.
