Glassmakers can't find sand
« on: February 17, 2007, 01:53:00 am »
Here's the situation: I have two magma glass furnaces, both set to make green glass blocks on repeat, and a regular glass furnace set to gather sand on repeat. I have a handy-dandy stockpile next to the magma furnaces to hold the sand, and at the moment there are three sand bags in there, but I keep getting "No sand-bearing item" cancellations. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but all three bags have decorations on them: turtle shell, silk image, etc.

Decorated containers seem not to be recognized.  Known bug.

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the clarification.

It'll be nice when that bug gets fixed; nothing like trying to decorate a bunch of statues and mugs only to find out that your craftsdwarves just made all of your bags and barrels worthless.

It's possible the bags have been marked to be moved to a Finished Goods pile, no?  That would preempt their being marked to collect sand, no?

Temporary workaround is do dissolve the Goods stockpile, I suspect.
