Stockpiles on grates/bridges/hatches
« on: October 20, 2008, 12:07:02 am »

I had the nifty idea yesterday to try and compartmentalize my fortress because the pathfinding in an open fort is very expensive.  The idea is that each level does a separate thing and they'd pass items to lower levels by putting a stockpile on hatches then letting the items fall when it opens.  Or grates and just have them fall immediately.

Unfortunately, this isn't possible - stockpiles cannot be designated on any of the removable objects.

It seems a minor and easy request.  It doesn't "unbalance" anything, nor will it mess up newbies.

Would also make airlock-drop setups far easier.
