So I have been wondering, is it better to have different stockpiles or just one big one that holds everything?

[Girlinhat]

As always, depends on what you're doing.  I have one big furniture pile, but one different stockpile for each plant type.

I only use "omni-piles" for one purpose: Getting my wagon shit underground immediately in an evil biome.

Haven't done any actual ‼Science‼ on this, but my guess is separate stockpiles would be slightly more efficient, especially since you can decide what goods are stored near which workshops and the like.

Like GiH said, the only reason for a Great Pile O' All Things (that I can conceive of) is to get all that stuff out of the wagon.

I specifically use separate stockpiles for each plant type, booze, and one for meat in general, because of overflow.  When I get infinite strawberry explosion, I still want to stockpile my prickle berries and my booze.  If it's all the same pile, then you end up with a stockpile of only one plant after a while.  You have to separate them to ensure things don't become unbalanced.
