If you q over a pile, then hit s, then disable bones n shells n skulls, then won't the aforementioned items not go there? You can do the opposite (disable all, then turn on skulls/shells/bones) for another pile as well.

That's not even an option. Like he said, it's a point of contention.

Why isn't it an option?

Do you mean that restricting what stockpiles can hold doesn't work?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

the game treats shells and bones as body parts. you can specify a stockpile to accept or not accept body parts, but you cant specify bones or shells

Yes you can; look under q -> hover over pile -> s; you can change it on a per item basis. THere's a whole refuse category you can change different items in on and off. Some of which happen to be skulls and bones shells (oh my).

i'm sorry but you're either wrong or playing 40d

[RCIX]

Nope, i checked with the Nutfallen save, the menu is still there. Maybe i didn't examine the options closely enough.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

do that then :\

[RCIX]

Yea, i checked that, and somehow Toady screwed up the options for it. It was working fine in 40d :/

[Askot Bokbondeler]

he didn't "screw up", he implemented a new system, now, bone and shell are raw defined materials, and are no longer hardcoded specific items. it's inconvenient, yes, but in the long run it was worth it. toady will address the issue eventually.

[RCIX]

I'd call it screwed up, if only temporary. To be clear, i'm using that as a synonym for "broken".

[Askot Bokbondeler]

it's not broken either it's like a new microwave oven, you can't complain it doesn't have that neat button your old microwave had, the point is, the new microwave heats things faster

[RCIX]

Yea i can, if i can't defrost things in the new microwave then it's screwed up

[Askot Bokbondeler]

don't worry, the next microwave we get will have defrost function AND an incorporated tetris machine
