Step 1: Designate a lot of stone to dump! Status: done.
Step 2: set up a garbage zone next to a pit or some lava or water or something. Status: done.
Step 3: ....watch as dwarfs do nothing. -.-

I've run into this problem each and every time I've had a need to dump stone or other items. I figure it out, play a fortress for a month, then don't play for a month or three, and have forgotten whatever irritating trick I used last time to make it work. It's not an orders thing, because they cheerfully picked up some of the stone and put it in a stone stockpile until the stockpile was full. =/

Help? ;_;

Did you forget to activate the zone? I've done that a few times.

SONNOVA.

Yes, that's the thing. They were default-Activated, but not default-set-as-some-zone. The zone highlights what it can be used for when you place it, and I thought that was just how it'd start.

Thank you, that was driving me mad. I'm going to make a little note and stick it in DF folder for next time I forget this. =p
