A plugin for importing and exporting stockpile settings between saves.

This is a massive enhancement to the 'copystock' plugin. Now, in addition to copying settings between stockpiles in game, it can export the settings to a file in your DF folder and import them in again. This works even across worlds, saves, and operating systems.

Using this plugin you’ll save time creating your elaborate stockpile logistics flows and you can even share your masterfully crafted stockpile settings with other players.

Why?

Stockpiling behavior by players has been getting more and more complicated as the years go by. Persisting stockpile settings that are tedious to setup will make it easier for players to adopt more efficient, but complicated, stockpiling practices.

Moreover, this is an incredible improvement over macros. Macros are not only tedious but error prone and impossible to edit after the fat. Not to mention sharing them is cumbersome and fraught with other problems.

Reserved for future repository of player submitted stockpile settings.

Maybe I am missing something, or maybe you have to compile it yourself, but the dfhack thread only shows it supporting up to DF 40.16 currently. Does the current version of DFhack also support DF 40.19? Also, this plugin is a very good idea, it will be very useful.

Does the current version of DFhack also support DF 40.19?

The released version is 0.40.16, but the 0.40.19 release is imminent. I've been using it the past day by compiling it myself. As soon as 40.19 is released, this plugin will work with it!

I've tried running this but it is for dfhack 40.16r0 and I'm on r1. Do I have options for resolving this? Thanks!

This should be fixed in this new version (0.1 beta2)

Very nice addition to the stockpile plugin, the persistence of stockpile settings is critical to a FPS aware fort.

The problem of FPS decay is growing with the time and completeness of the simulation.

One of the things that have a possitive impact in the conservation of FPS is an adecuate use of quantum stockpile.

As of now to create a quantum stockpile we need to set exactly 3 times the same stockpile settings (one in the receiving stockpile, another in the hauling route and the last in the destination stockpile), this is somewhat cumbersome so...

A plugin that streamline the process of building or maintain a quantum stockpile should be very util, ideally with an unique entry point for the stockpile settings.

A possible shorcut to implement this with minimal work could be done enabling copy/paste stockpile settings from the route hauling stockpile definition, even if the possibility of hard linking them by stockpile name should be better.

For those that think that quantum stockpile are not here to stay I can only say that in a simulation you must abstract some things to have a working model, in our case a model that offers just enought FPS that people have the oportunity to enjoy the game.

Are you planning to add your plugin to the main DFHack repo?
Also I'm using a compiled-by-hand dfhack build for .40.19 (which I nickname r0 as opposed to the official ones r1/r2/etc.) and the plugin won't load because of the version string mismatch, which I feel is a bit silly. Is there any way you could remove that requirement (since I have no doubt your plugin compiled for your .40.19 build will work with mine) or post a link to the sources so I can compile it myself? Thanks in advance.

Yup, the pull request is waiting to be accepted.

Works for me. Thanks, it will be very useful next time I need a magma-safe stone stockpile!

Ask and ye shall receive!

The new presets pack includes:

• Magma Safe Materials stockpiles
• Gems sorted by value (Rare, Semi-Precious, and Ornamental)
• Mech's fantastic presets for Better Quantum Stockpiling

Get the presets AND the new plugin version:

Stockpiles Settings Plugin v0.1
Stockpile Settings Presets v2

Also! This plugin is now included in the MacNewbie and PE's Windows Starter Pack for 0.40.19. The next release of DFHack should include it by default.

The "l: Load/Save settings" option in the stockpile menu overwrites autodump's enable/disable option.

[rmblr]

Ergh. I thought I'd fixed that. Will correct it ASAP. Thanks for notifying me.

[lethosor]

You were probably thinking of automelt and autotrade, which are enabled by default. (Autodump's stockpile option is also relatively new - I recently merged it in when I was updating Falconne's plugins.)
