I've been having this issue lately with my fortresses. I've been keeping up really well with farming and I have a plentiful amount of plump helmets, yet every time I try to cook or brew them into something the job is cancelled due to NOT having the raw uncooked source. I checked my stocks and I have over 80 plump helmets yet they're not being used. Any ideas? Am I missing something? Thanks for the help!

This could be the old someone has taken the barrel/pot to pick up a single plump helmet thing or the stockpile being linked to something but not to your kitchen/still. I am assuming the stocks you checked were the ones accessed by z as opposed to physically checking they are available in your stockpiles.

You're correct! I've been checking through z, but I hadn't thought of someone taking the barrel. Is there any way to get around this issue or am I just going to have to keep a better eye on things?

I turn barrels off in my plant only stockpile next to the still.

There is a bug with the new version that it could be as well. I myself didn't experience it and I can't tell from your post whether  you mean I was correct only about you checking through the z stocks or if you checked and someone taking the barrel actually  was the issue.

If it was the barrel thing I commonly set up a larger food stockpile that accepts only from links and will use barrels and a smaller one that accepts from anywhere but doesn't use barrels along one of the larger stockpiles edges set to give to the larger stockpile. That way the barrel spends a great deal less time unavailable because it is in transit.

Is the barrel bug fixed in .40? I was always rather annoyed throughout the last version how dwarves would pick up a WHOLE bin and drag it to the item they wanted to store instead of simply picking up the item they wanted to store and taking it to the bin.

I have seen dwarfs take barrels for a single plant so it isn't fixed AFAIK.

Hi, I just realized I am having the exact same problem as you ---- this must be a bug.

It's not a bug.  It's an intentional change in the hauling system.  If you want your fortress to run efficiently, you need to design around it.
