crafts not showing up on "move goods to depot" screen
« on: July 28, 2013, 02:52:14 pm »

hello,
i am using the advanced newb pack.. latest version.. i am having the following problem in every fortress i made so far with this download. i make lots of rock crafts for trading ... the merchants show up, i move my broker there and hit "g" move goods to depot but my rock crafts do not show up in the list. neither as "crafts" nor under "all". they have been placed in bins in stockpile next to the depot. all bins are full of rock crafts.. any ideas there?

Are there any export bans? If one of mayor/baron/king like some craft or other, it'll get a bit difficult to sell them since any bin with such craft will be removed from the list. Or even bins being banned from export will remove them by trade list by default, I believe mandate culling will turn it on and off.

It's a bit annoying they don't show up but you can move them in their bins by searching for finished good bins in the trade screen. There are some items that you wont even be able to trade if they are outside of containers  without using the search, e.g. roasts or totems.

okay, this seemed to be the problem. it worked for the very first caravan, back when i had no mayor. so if there is just one banned item in a bin the whole bin is banned and wont show up. but that toggle option showed them. didn't even cross my mind that a ban could be the problem. thanks for the help.

Possible Solution
Multiple stockpiles with the crafts individually defined between them.
Bracelets in stockpile 1, crowns in 2 etc.
Works for me as my countess just has a thing for crowns, and my mayor likes bracelets.
