does anyone have any idea how to get siege operators to get the closest stones instead of running half way across the map to get them? mine are constantly going down 13 levels or something into my deepest mines to get stone when there is some just about 50 tiles away... I'm confused.

When dwarves check for stone, they check just the tile distance inbetween them and the stone, in a straight line. The actual distance they need to travel isn't considered, so your best bet is to make a stockpile of stone on the zlevel right above or below the catapult, and set it to dis-allow ores and non-economic stone.

Also, it costs the same to go 13 z-levels down as to go 13 tiles across.
