I would like to see a special stockpile which you designate over a pit/channel/hole.

For example, you have a shaft from the ground surface down 5 z levels.  The surface is designated as a wood pit.  Wood cutters chop wood and toss it down the hole.  At the bottom of the shaft could be a wood stockpile.

With a lot of micromanagement, this can be done by dumping and claiming items.  Even so, garbage dumps are not item specific.

My latest adventure consisted of me walking out of my town to be attacked by 6 wolves and torn into dwarf chunks. Poor dwarfie.

Hello!

I managed to find, grow, and process to a bag my first batch of quarry bushes.  I had never bothered to gather plants indoors or was curious enough to try to find quarry bushes.  Now that I have stacks of quarry bush leaves, I want to try to cook them.

I have the leaves as the only thing available for cooking on the kitchen screen.  When I want to prepare a meal of any quality, a cook brings one leave to the kitchen, then I get an announcement saying that there need to be 2 unrotten cookable items.  Then the cook drops the leaves and the action is canceled and removed from the kitchen.

Can I not cook two quarry bush leaves to create a meal?  Do I have to mix them with other foods?  Or am is my fortress just bugged?

Thanks

My Carpenter, who was recently lightly injured by unicorns refuses to eat and drink but continues with his tasks.  His upper body is wounded yellow, but otherwise he is fine.  I removed all his jobs and he still doesn't eat or drink so hit status is still dehydrated and hungry.  He just sits around idling.

I searched the forums, development list, and bug list for this bug and it wasn't listed.  However, I know it is known by some because it was listed as a point to remember in the wiki.

When I cage my livestock in wooden cages they stop breeding.  I have tried from multiple points.  I have tried to put them all in one cage immediately.  I have tried waiting a couple years and separating them by animal type.  They always stop breeding though.  Even when I release them, they will never breed again.  Even if I don't even touch a kitten or dog, I will never get puppies or kittens again.

EDIT:

Nevermind.  They have started breeding again but not until long after I removed them from their cages.  Does some hidden breeding timer reset when I put them in cages?  Would they begin to breed again if I left them in the cages long enough?
