Sorry if this is an old issue, but I haven't been watching the forums for long.

In my last fortress, I embarked to a cave site with 5 legendary giants in it.  I quickly moated in to get established.  Later, preparing to flood the cave, I open a path and attempt to channel out the entrance ramp to the cave.

My miners do okay, but as soon as it looks like they are almost finished, the other 5 of my dwarves each charge in to "store item in stockpile".  There are some tradegoods, and dead adventurers laying around, but I don't have any stockpiles for them yet and they are all forbidden anyways.

Then I realise, the only new type of stockpile I have implemented since digging in is a general food stockpile.  So I figure that each of those five dwarves picked each of those 5 giant's lunches to store, then saw the giant, then ran to the far corners of the map rather than into my trap system.

I abandoned the fortress, but would like conformation that this is the type of thing that happens.

Just for clarity, you're saying the bug is that the meat wasn't forbidden even though their other trophies were?

[Time Kitten]

The items actually carried by the giants weren't forbidden.  My haulers charged in as soon as the had access to both giant and stockpile.  I can only presume it was meat that they carried, since I had just created the food stockpile.  Everything on ground was forbidden.

Oh wow, you meant in their actual, literal inventories.  That's kind of funny.

5 haulers.

5 stacks of meat.

5 giants holding that meat.

1 stockpile.

2 miners diligently sealing off the only entrance...

Soon we'll be seeing peasants trying to steal goblin socks while they're still alive

What we need is a baby stockpile so we can get them back after they're snatched by the goblins...
