My goal of being quoted in a sig has finally been achieved. Thanks, OP, for the beautiful set up!

[Shoku]

from all the walls and things I've been using I think I know what's going on. My Mason DOES use the closest rock of whatever type I told him to BUT the long hauling problem shows up when I've designated a lot of walls.
The first walls were assigned the rocks that were nearby but he's busy building the latest walls I designated with rock that was then designated from a lot further away.

This pretty annoying when I'd look at the stockpile of rocks I had set up and watch as he would keep ignoring the rocks in it for rocks off at the bottom of the map and such.

I think that any rocks that get queued up for whatever tasks are unavailable for haul jobs and worse yet that rocks queued up for hauling are unavailable for your workshops.


I haven't checked this yet but you might be able to get the dwarf to start using nearby rocks again by just removing all the workshop orders and nuking your stockpiles then seting them up again a few frames later.

When a construction is queued it will task any necessary stone. That stone thereafter CANNOT be touched for any purpose other than building that construction, period. This is very annoying when you task them to build walls on ground currently littered with stone, as they can't move the stone out of the way... they won't touch it until the wall its tasked for is built.

So the only question remaining should be "how much rock does a workshop queue?"

main options:
only 1 rock
1 rock for each list entry

[Jim Groovester]

Workshops don't task items themselves. When a dwarf does work, they task the items to the workshop as needed.

So the only question remaining should be "how much rock does a workshop queue?"

A workshop will queue as much rock as a workshop can queue if a workshop could queue rock.

Ok, the solution is mostly to not use stone stockpiles then, or in the case of micromanaging resource proximity let the stockpile fill up before designating stuff.
