How to make dwarves put giant creature meat into barrels?
« on: September 15, 2022, 04:23:28 pm »

I have bought and butchered about 4 different giant animals for food. But the dwarves, after hauling the meats to the correct stockpile, just completely ignore them. There is a 123 stack of giant moose meat, 56 gigantic panda meat, 31 giant snail meat and 35 giant cougar meat, all unbarreled, and sitting untouched in the food stockpile.

How do I get the dorfs to cook them up instead of asparagus and bayberries?

The stacks probably are too big to fit into a barrel.

To get them cooked, link the kitchen to a stockpile that contains only those meats. But, they still won't fit in a barrel.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

Yeah, the limit is 30 meat per barrel.

Okay I solved it. Temporarily banning everything except them from being cooked worked. Dorfs produced some real large stacks of roasts with those.

I like to imagine the moose meat is representative of, like, a big ol moose thigh. so literally unable to fit..

bit of an odd restriction considering how bins work but , well, its DF

Ingredients closer to the kitchen are chosen first.
