Hey all,
I'm trying to do a mass designation for a ton of lumber. I have a dump tile set in my carpentry workshop, the logs are all designated (show up highlighted in purple), but the dwarfs aren't responding. Tried taking away and adding the designation again, but I'm stumped (heh).

In all probability, that lumber is on the surface. That means that it's outdoors, and, since they're marked for dumping, considered refuse. You also likely have the (default) "Dwarves ignore outside refuse" order set, so your dwarves are ignoring the outdoor refuse that is your lumber. To fix the problem, use o-r-o to set dwarves to gathering outside refuse.

Careful wiht that though, as if a cat kills a ray outside now, a dwarf will go to fetch it's corpse.

Just a heads up that you may (probably) want to remember to turn the order bak to ignoring it later

[ltprifti]

wouldn't that only happen if it is tagged to be dumped since the garbage dump is what is designated

but if you have a refuse stockpile on the inside and the cat kill something and is not willing to transport it to his owner, the dwarf will collect it no matter how far and dangerous the mission is and will bring the dead dragonfly to your refuse stockpile

It is lumber on the surface. I never use the "o" menu. Thanks for the replies.

You can tell dwarves to ignore vermin remains. It's in the refuse orders menu.
