I first spawned in a mountain hall, with a party off two. I inquired for troube blabla. When i take the central staircase, it takes me to a tunnel network, and end of the staircase. I then walked all the tunnel until its end, where a hatch waited... Another underground mini 2z level dwarven outpost, without possibility to go to the surface. I do the same thing in another direction, until I reach the end of the second road, where I a met with the same results. I saved the game, and when i reloaded and walked back to the start point(the very first mountain hall) the hatch had dissapeared. Then I came back to the dead end where i came from and that hatch also dissapeared.
I revealed the map using dfhack, and behold, the outpost is still there, its just not connected to anything anymore? Now everutime i reload that save the same thing happens. Any idea why this and the no surface exist thing happened?

Maybe post your blueprints so one can tell the difference from a working one?

where should i do it?

Solved, i started flazing pots and they started using them. It doesnt matter whether they will be holding liquids or not, they dont use them if they are not glazed.

They used to. What version are you on?

Last version.

Are your pots made of rock? Wiki says if you make earthenware (clay) pots they have to be glazed to hold liquids. So that's probably where you went wrong. Make rock pots. They don't need to be (and probably can't be) glazed.

Now, unglazed clay pots not holding dry goods is probably a bug (wiki thinks it should work) so maybe report that one.

How do i report a bug?

Post a report on the bug tracker, here:
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/my_view_page.php

If you have a save demonstrating the problem, zip up your save (save\region1 usually) and upload it to Dwarf Fortress file depot. Add a link to your bug report.

I did a quick search of the tracker and it doesn't look like this has been reported before.

Just to be clear though, your issue is non-glazed clay pots not holding food, right? Rock pots are working OK?

Idk, i only used Clay pots as I wanted to emulate byzantine empire ceramic centric containers

And, by the way "last version" is a very poor answer to the question of which version is used. It's not that uncommon, for starters, that people think they're using the latest version, while they have, in fact, missed an update, and, secondly, the answer gets invalidated as soon as a new version comes out (which, for whatever we know, could happen minutes after posting).

ok. Version 0.47.04

Any suggestions?

Learn about the 'j'obs list. It will help when you are trying to find out what is happening.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You use 'q' or 'k' to find what the name or number is for the stockpile, then use 'j' to check the jobs list, where you will look for jobs associated with that name or number.

You may find a "Put item in barrel/pot" or "Put item in stockpile" for that stockpile number, and then you can hit 'j' to see the job details, showing what items are involved in the job.

There will be times when a stockpile appears to have nothing happening, but actually there is a job accumulating a list of items for one dwarf to collect and put in a barrel.

On the topic of food hauling, here is why and how it works.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Stockpiles that use containers will create two types of jobs, one type to put individual items on the stockpile, and one type to put items inside a container. They will create many individual jobs to fill the tiles, but only one job to fill the container, and these jobs will be done independently.

Food can rot. Because of this, it is a high priority job to haul food.

If you put these two things together, and you suddenly gain a lot of un-stockpiled food, you will see many dwarfs putting individual items on the food stockpile, and it will seem that the barrels are being ignored. But, there will be a job on the job list to "put item in stockpile" to place a new barrel there, or a "put item in barrel/pot" to add a bunch of stuff to a barrel. Long after the individual tiles of the stockpile were filled, there will be one dwarf compacting the items into barrels.

Hey, i just did that. I openened the job list and there was no task related to the stockpiles ongoing
