Has anyone else noticed that wagon wood logs won't go to a wood stockpile?

I imagine it's the same as the Large Gems problem. They're valid craft items but they just don't have a place in the stockpile.

I wait for the day wagon ghosts exist to be the first to make a Flying Dutchman-related joke. Only it's not a boat, but a wagon.

Wagon wood won't be stored in a stockpile because it isn't defined as being a part of any tree.  The wood stockpile only shows wood types that are defined in the plants files.  Wagon wood comes from a creature, so it isn't listed as a wood type in a wood stockpile.

The wood you get from your embark wagon is different because your embark wagon is not a creature.  Your embark wagon is a building, a special one of a kind building that doesn't do anything and that you can't normally build in the game.  As a building, it's made from a randomly chosen type of tree wood.

Ah.  I missed that the starting wagon was not built of wagon wood.

So does that mean that "wagon wood" shows up in the refuse stockpile options, likely under "body parts"?

One of these days, Armok willing, I'm going to cage trap a wagon.

I doubt they would reproduce, which is a shame.

I remember someone said that he got wagon meat on embark because of duplicate raws.

Duplicate the raws.
Literally.

As in, copy one of the raw files.
So if you take "inorganic_stone_mineral.txt", make a copy of the file and name it for example "inorganic_stone_mineral2.txt".

Any entry in it will be in the raws twice, making for Fun.

I'm guessing Toady uses some sort of hash table that can't handle duplicates for this stuff, so when you do that, all the references go haywire and pull different things than it should.
