Starting Stocks

It seems that if you bring extra barrels before embarking the dwarves will fill them with the other goods you have selected before bringing extra (wine foods seeds etc)... Basically unless you are bringing masses of barrels then the points are wasted. This could also be true for seeds and bags but this is less of an issue.

Yeah, in the end I'll probably have to make you pay for any containers it creates in advance and make the extras extras.  It's sort of annoying to make it calculate the needed containers in advance though, so I haven't done it yet.

As a work-around, just bring wood and cloth/leather and make the items on site.

It's cheaper, too.

True, but in certain sites time is precious. Places like barrel rock and glaciers, you need to get your house built FAST before the skeletal polar bears come a-calling.
