I recently strike tetrahedrite so I set up a stockpile and no one is picking the ore up. The stockpile is set to only take metal ores. I've double-checked that tetrahedrite is an acceptable ore for the stockpile. Why is no one taking the ore to the stockpile?

What makes it even more bizarre is that I struck silver below the tetrahedrite, and my dwarves are immediately grabbing THAT and taking it to the stockpile, but they're completely bypassing the tetrahedrite one z-level up.

EDIT: Okay making wheelbarrows somehow made them start picking the copper ore up. I have no idea why they had zero issue picking up the silver though.

well, two things maybe
one, ore is not chosen by fastest path, and when choosing the closest rock, z distance is also ignored.

two, it's also possible your haulers were limited by wheelbarrows.
if there is at least one wheelbarrow, the haulers will be limited to however many wheelbarrows there are attached to the stockpile.
so it's possible one dude had the only wheelbarrow.
