1. Letting it sit around tarnishes the beauty and splendor of the delving's players are trying to do, and is very immersion ruining.

Just hide the boulders.

Oh, just hide the boulders, real original, immersion ruining, and game breaking!

the only way to solve this problem is for toady to implement crates.

Quit suggesting other ideas, they're all terrible.

Spoiler: side tangent I'm gonna add here instead of just dumping into this post (click to show/hide)

Like, I get the root kinda feeling that's behind pushing for a highly desirable feature or a bug you've been annoyed by for years to get fixed. I'm antsy to see adventure mode return for example so I can tackle trying to update my main mod to the new raw system for example.

Hell, deeper than that, there's been some lingering concerns sticking in my mind since well before the steam release was even announced. I've expressed criticism before in the vein of being leery of how Toady often just bounces from new feature to new feature and leaves the bugs to pile up. I have personally experienced what years of the "broken implementation now, actual fix and feature-completeness maybe later" mindset can do to a game's code quality (caveat: this experience is from an open-source perspective so it's logically going to be infinitely worse than it could ever be for a one-man project, because you don't have hundreds of people all deciding that fixing their poor-quality code is Someone Else's Problem), and I've reported a great many backs on the mantis site that were all pet peeves of mine, myriad obstacles that languished in the mantis bug tracker until the site wiped, so many of my old personal wishlist items will likely go eternally forgotten.

But repeatedly going "fix this NOW" in this thread, and more importantly starting arguments with everyone else who responds to you about it, is fucking childish. Not to mention it's just pointless at best (fun fact: one of my myriad lingering anxieties is the fear that Toady no longer cares about this community and has shifted focus to kitfox and/or steam, with things like updates not being properly reported on the forum header and negligence in dealing with persistent trolls in some threads) to shout it out here of all places, at worst you'll get to experience the power of Spite Development wherein being pestered to implement something motivates one to do literally anything but that.

Which Mantis are you referring to? I don't believe anything was wiped entirely, although some reports are private.

Long version: the "old" tracker (pre-2022/23, on bay12games.com) should have been migrated completely to the "previous" one (mantishub), which should also have been migrated completely to the new one (https://dwarffortressbugtracker.com/). If you're referring to reports on the previous mantishub tracker that you emailed in, those all went to the "Triage" project, which did migrate over, but is private. (Every issue required manual intervention before it could be made public, including removing the reporter's real name and email address, so there are still 414 issues in that project that haven't been migrated yet.)

If you believe that, then you play without bins, barrels and pots, therefor you let your food rot and your alcohol splatter on the floor, and your dwarves hate you.

I imagine that your forts don't last much longer than a few months, with conditions like that.

I play without bins due to hauling issues. Don't project your disorganization onto others, though, and keep your ridiculous strawman arguments to yourself. (Seriously, how did you even arrive at not storing alcohol in barrels? What was the thought process there?)

The issue here is that containers have actual volume. A bin is 60000 cm³. A boulder is 100000 cm³. You can't fit even one, so you're just quantum stockpiling. (Sufficiently large stacks of food also don't fit in barrels, FYI. They don't rot while in stockpiles, but are slightly vulnerable to vermin.)

Consider using or destroying your stones instead of hoarding them all?
