My dwarves will NOT stockpile large gems or cages. The only time they move cages are upon build orders, and trap reloads. They wont put it into any stock pile at ALL. Also, they wont put large gems in stock piles, even when I have them enabled. Its no big deal, but it does get annoying.

Cages go into the animal stockpile. Are you trying to put them in furniture or something?

[jc6036]

I have an animal stockpile. Also, the cages are empty. That doesnt explain the gems.  They normally sit in the trade depot for years.

Large gems are bugged.  They're supposed to go in finished goods stockpiles, but finished goods stockpiles don't have a material option for gems, so large gems never get stockpiled.

Cages go in animal stockpiles.

I've had cages with animals like capybara in them, but those dont get stockpiled either. Like I said, I can only move them by building them. (The animal stockpile has an empty cages option, right?)

You know i had a similair problem and you might want to go check the orders menu (o) and check if all hauling options are enabled. also make sure they are claimed, to do this press d > b > c and then select the cages. (this only has effect if the cages were forbidden). then finally you might want to delete and place your animal stockpile again to make sure the settings are correct. hope it helped

Thanks all

Threadjack-
I have a cage with a dead cabarya in it. I've built it, and connected it to a lever and pulled the lever.

The body is still inside. Any suggestions on how to dispose of that body? I can't use that cage for a cage trap until it's gone...

Hey, wait. Could I transfer all non-thief goblins into one cage to save myself cages?

[kotekzot]

Dump it.

Yes.

[jc6036]

Try dumping the body. Also, cages can hold infinite amounts of creatures, so yes.
