Slight Trade Depot Problem
« on: May 11, 2008, 06:35:00 am »

I started playing DF after some time of break and I have a slight problem with trade depot - or more precisely with hauling goods back from it. After merchants leave the depot my dwarves seem to ignore any bought goods left inside. I think I saw this reported as a bug in the past, but I figured I'd ask - perhaps there is a way around it.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you made sure you actually have stockpile for the goods and that there is space available in them?

I'll double check on than once home (posting from school right now :P), but yeah,I'm fairly sure of that I have right stockpiles and that they have enough free space.

I've noticed the issues once or twice myself with bins I'd carried out to sell stuff out of.  the bins never came back inside for some reason, and my furniture stocks were almost empty. Didn't really think anything of it though

I keep noticing things sitting in my depot too. But like Sevrun, I've just been ignoring it. It tempts the mandrills into my traps.  ;)

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

Well damn... it looks that all that was sitting in my depot was leather, and interestingly enough leather doesn't fall under finished goods or refuse but has a stockpile setting of it's own. Set up a new stockpile, hopefully it'll fix the problem  :)

If something gets really stuck inside the depot... one could also de- and reconstruct it. By doing this you should get your stuff out.
