v.33.g

Weird thing in my 4th year.  Haulers stopped stockpiling furniture.  I had a couple forges that were utterly cluttered with iron bins and barrels, with several large empty furniture stockpiles only a few squares away and over 30 (out of 115) idle dwarves with item hauling active!  I tried destroying one of the workshops and about 30 or 40 of bins were spread out in the surrounding tiles...every once in a while a hauler would pick a bin up to use directly in my food stores, but the stockpile was ignored.  They items weren't tasked for anything while sitting in the workshop...it just seemed as if they were ignored.  Anyone else experience something similar?

Creating new stockpiles didn't affect this at all.  Unfortunately with 115 dwarves under siege, my frame rate went down to 15 FPS and I decided to restart...

cheers!

Was the number of allowed bins in the stockpile(s) high enough?

Something similar has happened to me.
There are still quite a few blocks and crafts to be moved, yet my haulers stand idly by and wait for a more "promising" task, or something. Seriously, they rather harvest than to carry the stuff to the stockpile.

I guess it al has to do with the priority settings in the game itself. Can't remember if it was suggested, but that would be something for a future update.

You might have accidentally disabled the "dwarves gather furniture" setting.  I've done things like that before.
