Hauling whole bins

(1/3) > >>

Daenyth:
Is there a way to get my dwarves to only haul full bins for a certain stockpile? I have a green glass block stockpile near my surface and half the time they drag a single block up 100z to put it there instead of putting it in the stockpile next to my magma glass furnace. This also extends to a fair number of other stockpiles, but that one is the worst. Should I just not stockpile them up there til I have enough bins to fill it?

Syff:
This is one of the most oft-requested features.  Not in yet, but presumably coming someday.

Quatch:
You can't do this until the take from stockpile works again but:

1) have the only stockpile for the stockpiled good be near the source. Wait for it to fill with binned goods.
2) make the destination stockpile accept that good, and take from the source stockpile.

This'll get most of it.

Danjen:
Couldn't you also do something with burrows? Set up a stockpile in the burrow, fill it, then disable the burrow?

Daenyth:
I do have a burrow but it's for my magma workers, the haulers are free to move around since half my industry is at the top and half at the bottom.
