I just moved to .23 with the starter pack the other day when it released and I just ran into a odd issue.  My dwarves are now making lye in buckets like normal, but then instead of filling barrels with it, they stick the entire bucket with one item of lye inside of it, inside the barrel.  This then makes my soaper unable to find any lye even though I have tons and tnos of barrels, all with one bucket and one lye in each one.  Deerrrrrrp.


I assume this is due to the change in how workers no longer carry the container to the item but instead carry the item to the container?  Anyone have/know of, a fix or work around?

There's an old bug with bins/barrels where dwarves randomly ignore their contents. Try disabling barrels in your lye stockpile.

Yeah shortly after making this post I made a new seperate stockpile for just bars of soap and lye, then disabled barrells on it (and crates just in case), then disabled lye in my liquids stockpile and they did eventually move it out.  Up until now though I have never seen dorfies stick buckets full of lye inside barrells though.  I thought they would just make the lye in the bucket, then carry a barrel over to it and dump the bucket into the barrel, freeing up the bucket.   It really does feel very much like its related to the way Urist's carry stuff to containers now because I also see then doing oddball things in my bars/metal stockpile with the bins.
