I always store my food in a seperate no barrel stockpile so they can't be stored in barrels (or pots), since you can't choose to trade the meal but not the pot or barrel

I always make plenty of stone pots, never had an issue where i could not trade with the elves because my food was in a wooden container.

Yup, it crept into my head that I had been wrong about the alcohol, although mainly about the plants.

They way I trade with them, though, there's rarely any alcohol in their loads, so it's not something I've ever grown to rely upon.  But, yes, plants.

But mainly all things wooden (most of which I don't care for, but maybe the next dwarven caravan is going to be happy to have a whole load of wooden amulets from me, something I'd never make myself) and plant-fibre cloth.  Loads of cloth.  Loads and loads of cloth.  And all things wooden.

Anyway, this no longer answers your question or helps your situation, so I'll shut up about all the all things wooden.

The most important resource is flux, followed by iron. Really, you only need flux to make steel. Steel is made from 3 starting components:

Flux, Iron, Fuel

Iron is needed, but you can melt down goblinite to get it. I'm pretty sure goblinite is infinite since they just keep coming and coming, assuming they come at all. You can get fuel by burning wood, which is a renewable resource, assuming you can't mine it. Flux is the hardest to get since it's not really something you can easily get from invaders or traders.

The dwarven caravan should bring you a few pieces of each flux for which you gave a high priority, no? Not much, sure, but you should get 15-20 stones a year. Of course, it's a little on the "light" side to maintain a steel industry.

15-20 stones? Not even a full set of armour
