i always have a fort with lots of gems and gold/silver, but i never have found a good way to use them.
i kinda want weapons to be studded but they always take the same one, so i have 1 weapon studded 10 times while the others are not.
do people here have a way to stockpile the studded ones in a different stockpile then the non-sudded ones.
the same with items for example a specific statue i want to encrust but i just cant make then take the specific one.

The most direct way is probably to "forbid" all items in the category before you give the order, and then unforbid them after the workshop order is active (I assume the activation means that the target item has been allocated). In particular, you can "forbid" the item(s) already processed.

One possible way is to try to use the "total quality" stockpile criterion. I've tried to use that to store worn clothing near the trade depot, but with limited success, since worn masterworks socks are still worth more than pristine basic quality ones. You also have the problem that you might want to adorn the things that already are the most valuable. Another path is to try to use material, but I guess all the things you want to adorn are of the same material.

Another possible way is to have two stockpiles, one close to your workshop, and one a fair bit away, and then "dump" things to a dumping site near the desired stockpile, and then unforbid them.

thx il try this see how it goes.

set a stockpile with everything enabled (except refuse of course or your decorated armor will get tattered) to "take" from all your decoration workshops and make it also "take only from links".
set every other stockpiles containing the items you wish to be decorated to give to those decorating workshops.
voila!

every item should get to the workshop then get go to your decorated stockpile, where it won't be available to be decorated again.

Here's how to set up an encrusting assembly line.  Let's say we want to build and encrust 10 gold statues.  Set up a furniture stockpile to T(a)ke From Links Only, and (t)ake from your Forge: and also (g)ive to your Jeweller's Workshop.  Your cut gems stockpile should also (g)ive to your Jeweller's Workshop.  Then, make another furniture stockpile, also that T(a)kes From Links Only, to (t)ake from the Jeweller's Workshop.

In this way, the statues will be delivered from the Forge to the first stockpile as they are made, and no other unwanted objects will get thrown in there.  You queue up ten Encrust jobs at the Jeweller's Workshop, and the gem setter will do one encrust per statue: the encrusted statues will get moved to the second furniture stockpile as they are finished.


For that specific statue you already built, make a stockpile of one tile that accepts only, say, marble statues, and forbid marble statues from your general furniture stockpile.  Then have it, and your cut gem stockpile, both (g)ive to your jeweller.


I like to train a gem setter by encrusting random finished goods with all the low-value gems that come in abundance.  When the time finally comes that I encrust the King's golden cabinets with emeralds, I want it done well.

thx al this wil help

Note that, while increasing the value of the item studded, it does not increase the damage done by a weapon nor does it increase the defense bonus given by armor.

Many high-quality items will also say that it "manaces with spikes of some material", but that does not add up to anything at all either.

For that specific statue you already built, make a stockpile of one tile that accepts only, say, marble statues, and forbid marble statues from your general furniture stockpile.

You could also just set the one tile stockpile to (t)ake from the general stockpile instead of forbidding.
