DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarfs not burrying or stockpiling goods from outside
« on: February 12, 2012, 12:02:41 pm »
This is my 2nd reclamation attempt on my current fortress so I had a lot of corpses laying around. Before I could make coffins proper, I made a stockpile area outside across a wadable brook as a place for corpses (I also built a bridge just to be cool but the dwarfs never use it) and the piled up the bodies so they wouldn't be in the fortress.
Over time I was able to build coffins, then assign them for burial (not pets) and they automatically assigned a body and threw it in there.
But now I have plenty of free coffins but no one is doing anything to the rest of the pile of bodies out there.
I have plenty of haulers free (one I set to only haul burials just to test) and they can get out there just fine and to dump trash next to the corpse pile.
The other thing I have noticed is that I have a bunch of food and goods I have bought on the trading depot that isn't being hauled to food stockpile.
I don't know if this is related. I only have one entrance to the fort and you must go through the trading depot.
Could there be too many goods? Should I make another entrance? Or maybe something I am doing wrong?
