Weapon/armor stockpiles bug?
« on: September 07, 2011, 10:23:04 pm »
So I'm trying to upgrade my armory, by separating my steel items from my "other" material items. Strangely, despite having a stockpile devoted only to steel items and one devoted to everything else, my dwarves only stockpile stuff onto the "other" stockpile, leaving my steel items in their original spot, despite it not being a stockpile anymore and there being an appropiate steel item stockpile for those items.  Is there something I'm missing in the stockpile designation?  Thanks for any help!

Does the everything else stockpile have steel stuff disabled?

Yes, it did.  I figured out it was the usable/unusable setting that was keeping them from being sorted.  Needed to toggle it on for both stockpiles.  Thanks!

if that fails, try using the take from stockpile thingy from the menu, when you press q over a stockpile

Perhaps the steel stuff has been claimed but not equiped?

What kinds of things are allowed, and at what quality levels?
If you allow steel, but disallow swords, axes, etc, etc, then nothing is actually allowed.

Does anyone else have the problem that you can't specify iron for the weapons and armor (or one of them, can't remember right now) stockpiles?
