Title: Can't haul large gems?
Post by: Juason on April 04, 2011, 11:34:01 pm: I have a pile of large gems sitting on my trade depot that I've acquired over the past few years. I have plenty of finished good stockpiles accepting "large gems", and plenty of gem stockpiles, and some accepting both. Would anyone happen to know why they are not being removed?

Thanks!

Post by: Argonnek on April 04, 2011, 11:50:10 pm: I've noticed this as well. The large gems don't get hauled to any stockpile, no matter what. The dwarves will touch them: bringing them to the depot, decorating them, etc, but no stockpiling.

Does forbidding, reclaiming, and then dumping them cause them to be moved?

Post by: Niyazov on April 05, 2011, 10:09:35 pm: I think the problem is that "gem" is not a material recognized by finished goods stockpiles right now; you can't restrict or permit gem crafts.

I had the same problem, and managed to solve it, but I can't remember now what I did (it was during the weekend). In my case, they were moved to the depot, but not sold, and then left behind and not returned to the gem (well, general) stockpile. I -think- I had to dump them, then reclaim.

It's currently surrounded by traps...

Small gems are their own category. Large gems are hidden under the "finished goods" portion.

Post by: Moosey on April 06, 2011, 01:19:58 am: Yeah, I've noticed this too. It also goes for goods (rings, figurines, etc) made of gem material that gem cutters sometimes make. The gem-goods can be hauled from the workshop to the depot for trading, but they won't be brought to any stockpile.
