If the meeting area is covered in grass will it be okay? Pastures mean I have to micromanage every time I milk, shear, butcher etc (tug of war happens).

[Drawde]

I hear that building the workshop IN the pasture prevents the tug-o-war.

[Bouchart]

It will probably just hang out in a meeting area, so I would go with a pasture.

I can confirm this.

[Marshall Burns]

I don't think these animals are grazing when not assigned to a pasture, despite there being grass everywhere. Can anyone confirm this?

[Bouchart]

I had animals near my starting wagon graze even though it wasn't assigned as a pasture.  It looks like animals won't actively seek out places to eat.  Any thoughts?

Anyone know if beehive yield increases with beekeeping skill? Right now it doesn't seem like something you could live off, and it's not particularly valuable either.

EDIT: I'm also having trouble with wax crafts. They're finished goods, but aren't stored in finished good stockpiles.

I noticed that soap making now uses lye in buckets, instead of lye in barrels.  So don't set up a stockpile to have lye-filled buckets poured into barrels and don't buy barrels of lye.

Edit: they seem to be able to use both barrels and buckets.  I don't know why they weren't using the barrels before.  Maybe they can't use lye barrels if they are assigned to a stockpile.  More testing needed.

I just ran into this one, with a lye barrel I bought. The reaction was red, so I dumped the barrel. After reclaiming it the reaction was white so I gave the order but it was canceled midway (needs lye-containing item).

[Bouchart]

Lye barrels seem to work fine if you don't keep them in a stockpile.  That's my experience so far.

[Marshall Burns]

There seems to be a lot of problems with stockpiles in this release. Problems I've had: you can't place hives if they're in a stockpile, jugs get stuck in stockpiles, you can't make mead if the honeyjug is in a stockpile.

I recently made some nest boxes.
One of them ended up in a food stockpile somehow, and now I cannot build it.

Delete the stockpile? 

[Buttery_Mess]

I've noticed that nest boxes don't seem to be recyclable. My first instinct is to suggest that those in the stockpile still have eggs in, and are being used as containers. I don't think that this is the case though.

[Another]

I found out that all the ducklings that hatched in MY nestbox from a wild duck were wild. No tame birdpeople this way.

Some people mentioned 50 crocodile eggs in their nestboxes, right?

They will eat if their meeting area (in this case the wagon) is surrounded by grass, but if you're meeting area is underground (like a dining hall) then they'll starve.

Along those lines, they seem to have a set permanent eating limit, like they'll eat a certain amount each month regardless of whether they're hungry or not. So if your yak is starving and you assign it to a pasture to eat, it'll live but remain starving indefinitely (anyone confirm/deny?).

Bees do indeed nest on the sides of cliffs.

That is a honeybee colony and worker on the level above the water. The cliff goes up a further 4 levels. When do we get ropes to scale down cliffs for bee collection?
