[WJLIII3]

Started playing again for the first time since the military and hospital reforms, just had a few questions:

Clothes still just get strewn all over and never picked up? What is it that causes that?

and

Do bolts stack now when they get picked up one-by-one, or should I still forbid used ammo?

[WJLIII3]

Oh, also, I have two craftdwarves workshops, but any time I task one to use bone, I get a "needs unrotten bone body part" message. They're laid out like this

BCCC
BCCC<--rejects all boneworking
BCCC
BXXX
BXCCC
DXCCC<--makes bone bolts
BXCCC

the D being the door to my refuse stockpile, Bs are walls.

Any idea why this would happen?

Well check if the clothes are owned, if they are you need to assign rooms and cabinets to your dwarves and they will store their clothing there, if they are not, your craftsgoods stockpile is full and/or you need more bins. Slaughter a few creatures at once to make sure the bottom shop isn't taking all of the bone, otherwise, no idea for problem 2.

[Spotswood]

Cant remember how crafts workshops are set out but some workshops have, i guess, tables or impassible sections of their layout. Perhaps the southern end of the top workshop is blocking access to the workshop itself.

I know the jewlers workshop layout for example

BXX
BXX
BXX

With B being the bench section which is impassible.

Alright, well, the craftdwarf problem is solved now, a new crafter took over and he had no trouble with it, *shrug* The clothes are still strewn about, though.

And what about the bolts?

[cdrcjsn]

Check if the clothes are owned.

If they are, then:
1)  only the owner will pick them up
2)  only if the owner has a cabinet in his bedroom to store them in
3)  when the owner has no other task (hauling personal clothes is low priority)

if they're not owned, then
1)  build a new stockpile

[Argonnek]

Just run some magma over the clothes. It's what I would do.

Anyway, bolts still don't stack, but dwarves will pick up more than one stack to fill their quiver.

If the owner of a sock died with that sock on, you can dump or sell the sock. 
If a dwarf has claimed a sock lying around, assign them a cabinet.
If a dwarf claimed a sock but got killed before they could hoard it in their cabinet ... Argonnek is right.
Magma.

You could also take the easy way out and just hide them with d-b-h. But that only makes them invisible, it doesn't get rid of them.

Magma.

If the dwarf died, then someone else now owns the sock. Your argument is therefore invalid.

Ah, but you're forgetting that in Dwarven Logic, introducing magma as a proposition causes any compound to resolve to true.  It's not a tautology, it's a !!tautology!!.
