Smelt from pile
« on: May 11, 2009, 01:55:37 pm »

Maybe this has been suggested before, but...
It might be useful to have a smelter job that is "smelt something from stockpile X". I have small stockpiles near to my smelters where ore is kept for easy access by the furnies, but the mixture depends on what vein I'm currently mining out. Manually setting smelting jobs to avoid dwarfs running across the whole fortress to grab that last platinum nugget, tying up the furnace in the meantime, gets annoying.
It's basically the same as "melt an object" and must be real easy to implement.

I think that this is probably part of the burrows arc.
