Why can't I trade my mugs...
« on: May 24, 2011, 08:49:35 pm »
I've got something like 500+ mugs in my trade goods stockpile on my new embark.  Whenever traders come along, none of these mugs show up on my "move goods to depot" screen.  I've got my bookkeeper working round the clock, but my broker is a noob at everything.  Could that be effecting things?

None of these should be forbidden or inaccessible.  Actually, the depot is right next to the stockpile.  Thoughts?  Edit: Also, no mandates on exports.

Mugs don't show up under any category, but if you specifically search for mugs they should turn up.  Also, if you have an export mandate forbidding the export of mugs, and 'culling on mandates' is on (which it is by default) they won't show up.

Nope.  I searched, got one microcline mug amongst the hundreds.

I think I figured it out.  They don't show up if they're in bins.  Gotta search for the bins.

Mandate? Maybe a noble likes mugs.

Make a stockpile for mugs near the depot. You have the option of either chosing closest, or more expensive. Chose closest option, in goods to move, mugs should show up, if that stockpile is the closest. This also works for getting rid of fat
