Miller needs bags
« on: July 07, 2012, 05:46:08 am »
Hi, I'm trying to mill Dimple Cups to make some blue dye, and Im getting job cancellations saying that I need bags, when infact I have lots of empty bags, in stockpiles and still in the clothiers workshop. What am I doing wrong?
They are all made from Pig tail fibers if that matters.

are any stockpiles set to 'give' to that workshop, if so the workshop will only take inputs from those stockpiles and nothing else

whilst setting get/take orders on piles is very useful (i use it all the time), but when there is a problem, it may take a while to realise. on a somewhat unreated note, i relocated my farmers workshop to be closer to the farm but my thresher wouldn't use it.
tried everything from resetting labor to resetting workflow jobs, take/give piles etc... finally worked out it wasn't in my Inside burrow since the new area was freshly dug out
so burrows and take/give i do use but in a very simplistic manner
