Stone stockpile not filling up
« on: August 14, 2012, 09:39:43 pm »
Hello all.

I have a problem.

My stone stockpile is not being filled up by idled dwarves.

I have checked the following to the reasons why this could be occurring:

- stones are not forbidden
- all stones are allowed for use, aka green
- there are idled dwarves
- idled dwarves have all hauling selected
- there is no party
- the stock pile is a stone pile
- the stone stockpile is not blocked, there is a clear path to it
- no events in my fortress are taking place to stop my dwarves from going to the pile
- the pile itself is not forbidden
- the pile is opened to being used with stones located anywhere, aka the default


I am really confused atm.

O apparently dwarves will only use wheelbarrows to fill up stockpiles not with stone.

Not quite true but close enough. Any stockpile can be set to use wheelbarrows, but stone piles have this set as default. [Q] over the stockpile and check out the options. One of them should be something like "wheelbarrows" followed by a number. This number is how many wheelbarrows the stockpile uses. You can set it at 0, 1, 2, or 3. When there are any wheelbarrows assigned to the stockpile, dwarfs will only use wheelbarrows for collection, so a stone stockpile will fill up one stone at a time if left on it's default settings.

There's safe. Then there's unsafe. And then there's the average dwarf fort, which remains unrated because the OSHA inspector flatly refused to go anywhere within a dozen miles of the place.
