DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: None of my stockpiles are using my bins!

I don't even bother with finished goods piles. When the caravan comes, everything gets moved to the trade center. When it leaves, everything stays there for the next one.

I don't want my craft buildings to become cluttered and slow down  their production rates.

Is there room to add a bin to the stockpile, or is it completely full of the things you want to put in the bin? Because if it's completely full, you may want to try designating another stockpile and see if that works.

I made sure there is plenty of room.

remove the stockpile and remake as a finished goods pile then through the settings change it back to a furnature pile.

Huh? Delete my finished goods pile, make a finished goods pile, and make it a furniture pile? Then I wont have a finished goods pile....

I tried disabling the bins on the furniture pile, but they are just sitting there. I have multiple dwarves without anything to do just sitting around. I tried looking for a labor option that designates a dwarf to do it and couldnt find one  :(

I have been making stone blocks and various craftdwarf goods. I have stockpiles for the items with the max number of bins = the number of tiles the stock pile has, but my dwarves never use my numerous bins I have on my furniture stockpile. I'm running out of space fast! Why arnt they using the bins? help!  :(

Did you make sure to include the ground the dwarves are supposed to stand on in the zone?

I'm in the same boat as far as the progression goes. I have started 20+ fortesses and never got one noble or goblin siege (actually thats not true, I finally got my first siege last night and promptly started a new fortress seeing as the entire map was covered in dwarven blood). For me it's all about perfection. I take hours planning things and then I reach a part of the game I have never reached/discovered before and hence never planned for so I try and hack together a solution, but usually become disgusted with it. So I have to start anew taking into account the newly discovered knowledge.

As far as your questions go, I have never tried so I can't help   :D

I thought this would work to, but a friend of mine with a totally different install encountered the same thing

DF Gameplay Questions / Not Able to Assign Jail for Justice

Title says it all. I have an appointed sheriff and a tin cage, I can make a room, but every time I hit "j" to assign it for justice use it goes back to the previous menu and doesn't do anything. Also, dwarves and animals seem to like hanging out in that room, do they think its a zoo or something? I do beleive I had a cow in one of the cages once, but I let them out a while ago.

I had a similar issue with one of my dwarves using a non-standard metal to make an artifact sword, too. I plan to kill him (as it was a possession) and give the sword to my first champion swordsman, when i get one.

How are you going to make sure its your champ that picks it up? Mark it as forbidden, let your other soldiers equip themselves. then forbid all other weapons and reclaim the sword and tell your champ to get a sword?
