Due to http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=439 it's not possible to create a stockpile which accepts wooden blocks.  This creates a huge problem for me, since I normally pre-process all my wood into blocks.

Are there any workarounds available?  Can I create a stockpile with more general settings which can accept binned wooden blocks?  Or am I just SOL until the bug is fixed?

How do you prevent your carpenter's workshop from filling up?

Designate a dump, designate the blocks to be dumped; watch 100 dwarves race forth to dump the blocks; once they're in the dump, undesignate the blocks.

Is a garbage dump the same as a refuse stockpile?  I've set up a refuse stockpile which is mostly empty, right next to my workshop.  I've gone into the workshop item view (with "t") and designated all my blocks for dumping.  In the item view, it looks like this:

ash
highwood blocks       D
oaken blocks           D
etc ...

It's sat this way for many minutes, and dwarves aren't moving them.  Some dwarves are idle which have all hauling labors enabled.

a dump is a zone that you designate with the i key.  Check it out on magmawiki.
