It will solve the huge clothing clusterbomb problem. You just set up 2 clothing stockpiles. One which only accepts clothing from the clothier shop. and another clothing stockpile that accepts all of the loose garments scattered around the fort and on the surface. Make this 2nd stockpile double as a refuse pile with everything turned off. This will make the clothing in this stockpile decay without prematurely decaying the brand new stuff just being produced.

Storage for minecarts. I hope that this means the equivalent of train yards, and/or minecart schedules. I want the focus of my fortress to be a replica of Grand Central Station.

Hmmm... Actual mines... Run a path and a track deep into an area you want mined out, and the do mine shafts out in every direction from the loading stop. Me likey :p

I went back to bin jobs to make their item selection a little smarter and to clean out some of the idle time between haul jobs, and I'm going to do something similar with vehicle jobs next.

Hmmm... Reducing lag time between haul jobs? Nice... Same for vehicles, ie, minecarts? Doubly nice.

Smarter selection for bin jobs? So grab closest instead of closest to the furthest point away? :p

"Bin jobs" sounds like the job "bring item to a barrel" will be replaced by "bring the barrel over and vacuum up the items" when applicable.  Obviously it will have some sort of weighted value that lets the dwarves decide when to haul the barrel or when to haul the seeds.

Ah, yes. He did mention that before. Same for vehicles, so does that mean a dwarf causing up and down the line grabbing stuff? Very cryptic update

Stockpiles can now be set to give items to multiple stockpiles. You can also set stockpiles to give to a workshop, in which case the workshop will only use items from its piles. You can use this to set specific materials for jobs in a roundabout way, for example, until we get around to doing that properly. If a stockpile is set to distribute the same kind of objects to multiple piles, it'll try to keep the piles even. It works well for items like stone and furniture, but it's a harder problem when bins become involved.

Victory!

Is it sad I have the release rss feed linked to my phone, so dwarf fortress music starts playing the moment he puts out 0.34.08?

looks like no more burrowing dwarf and workshops when we want obsidian floodgates and mechanisms.

Or when we want something specific for an artifact:p make artifact stockpile, get the alert, set the shop type to draw from that pile only. Bam. Adamantine artifact great axe, decorated with adamantine and menacing with spikes of adamantine.

Why not just make a row of workshops with locked doors near the artifact material pile?  When you get a dwarf going moody, check his profession and then lock every workshop of that type except the one you want him to use.

Because that would be the logical/simple thing to do, whichy is undwarven

I just hope the new version is compatible with this one - I've got a megaproject that's about 3/4 done.

I'm pretty sure Toady's mentioned in his devlog that he worked on making them compatible.
