Query about the new hauling setup
« on: December 20, 2014, 01:14:26 pm »
I just set up a large stone stockpile set to only take rock salt, and there's a lot lying around that I want to clear into the stockpile. However, none of my dwarves are hauling the stone, even though they're all idle (except for my mason, who's making blocks) and all have stone hauling turned on. What s up?

[EDIT]: They won't haul metal ores to that stockpile, either, or stone blocks from the mason's shop to the block stockpile, but they'll haul wood from outside.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Try checking the following :
Any burrows active for civilians?
Is the stockpile set to take from somewhere?
Is it set to stone or stone blocks?
Is it set to use wheelbarrows? Are there free wheelbarrows laying over the stockpile?

Figured out the problem- the stockpiles in question weren't set to accept either "non-plant/animal" or "plant/animal". This happened with my seed stockpile, earlier, too...

Fixed.

Are you making specialised stockpiles by disabling everything and then enabling the options you want?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
