I started a huge clean, to get all the loose items off the map. I created a massive stockpile that accepts basically everything (except refuse and basic stones). In checking the map for any stray items I noticed wagon wood didn't get picked up. i found out that it does not have a stockpile entry. So I set it to dump. No job is generated for this.

Additionally I had 3 large gems and a figurine in a pit (Accessible via ramp) that weren't generating jobs to be hauled. I left them a long time, kept checking the job screen, nada. Room on the stockpile for them. And figurines and gems are accepted.

i tried dumping them once, but they never got dumped..so I cancelled that..and left them awhile and tried dumping again and this time they're being dumped. Not sure if they'll go to stockpile from the dump or not.

Anyway to get rid of the wagon wood, or should I just hope a thief takes it?

Did you make sure you have a Dump zone instead of a stockpile?

If all else fails, there's always magma.

Yes. I have a dump zone. They've been dumping all kinds of stuff there. I've been noticing in this latest fort that dwarves don't seem to be generating/doing jobs as quickly as they once did. things are often left to languish despite them being perfectly capable of doing some time later on.

Turn on "dwarfs gather refuse from outside" under (o)rders.

[enizer]

outside refuse? you mean wagon wood is tecnically a corpse?

that's odd, but understandable in retrospect, since wagon wood comes from "dead" wagons, and wagons are a "creature" because the moving machinery code isnt ready

[kingubu]

It also happens with stone and pretty much anything marked for dumping.  It's refuse because you marked it for dumping in a garbage zone.

I discovered this when I channeled out an outdoor farming room, then tried to dump the stone produced.  Haven't used the dump command since minecarts came out though.  Minecart quantum stockpiles all the time now.

You could also mod wagons to drop real wood if you fancy, taken I think from Modest Mod. Replace your creature_equipment.txt with this:

Code: [Select]

anything you set to be dumped is automatically considered refuse of some kind, so for things from outside to be dumped you need to have refuse hauling from outside on

on the large gems; large gems are a bit of an oddity and tend not to get hauled at all, or at least with great difficulty, nothing new there. I think they're some kind of masterwork gem, but they don't have any kind of use

Large gems are technically crafts.  So yeah they are really fairly useless except for trading

Check to see if the wood is set as forbidden and if the dwarves can actually reach the wood. Otherwise I don't know what you could do.
