DF Modding / Quick Question: Modding non-binnable items to be binnable?
« on: April 06, 2010, 04:30:20 pm »
I, like many others, am tired of having gargantuan stone stockpiles simply because stone can't be put in bins. Same goes for wood.
Primarily my concern is actually being unable to store things like bones and skulls in bins, thereby making my refuse stockpile gigantic just so I can keep shells and stuff around for crafts.
So the question here is, is there any way to allow bins to be used with items and stockpiles that normally CANNOT use bins? Can I condense my refuse/stone/wood stockpiles with clever editing?
On the same subject: It was hard enough figuring out the old custom stockpile settings, but the new ones are even worse. How am I supposed to make a stockpile for craftable goods like teeth, bones, skulls, scales, shells, ivory, horns, etc., that doesn't also accept rotting items like body parts, torso halves, and so on? The only thing I can see to narrow down 'refuse' now is "by monster type" which is pointless, and there's still no "organic craftables" option for other stockpiles, so useful stuff like ivory is still considered "refuse"!
Sorry if this all has been asked already but I searched around and couldn't find anything unless it was buried under some obscure topic name.
