Boxes to store stone?
« on: October 18, 2012, 09:59:54 pm »
What about the ability to create crates from wood, that each individual box can hold ~30 stone? This allows for a way to store stone without the Garbage Dump of Infinite Density.

A stone is a bolder. Not a tiny thing to put in a tool bin.

But having the stones be easily stored infinitely in a single dwarf sized compartment makes sense?

That is planned to be fixed at some point, no need to add even more onto a broken concept ;P

I'm not saying take the boxes and put them in the garbage dump, I'm saying put them in stockpiles, so that we don't need the Garbage Dumps for stone.

I meant the quantum stockpiling issue, as in each tile having infinite space being fixed. Being able to pile boulders into boxes like that just makes no sense. Unless you mean putting one boulder into one huge crate, but I don't see why anyone would want to waste resources and hauling time on that :P

I guess I just never thought of them as boulders. Oh well, stupid idea.

Castle Story much, eh?
IMHO, I don't care, since I don't play Fortress mode that much anyway...
YEA, I'm the outsider who sticks to adventurer - it's honestly better for me.
