Just a little note: you can remove one (or any amount) tile inside of a painted stockpile. For that you first draw a stockpile, accept it, then press Repaint this stockpile and go for the Erase a portion of this stockpile button. Great video! Keep it up, you`ve got good quality, you are good at explaining (you made a rather hard to comprehend topic look easy), the vid is really helpful. Subbed:)

This has helped me a lot! Now i understand why my dwarfs wont store correctly.

Every bedroom needs a cabinet, and room for a second bed if their married is a fun touch. Not aure if thats 100% needed, but I assume it’ll make them happy. Cheers on the Vid.

You don't have to repaint the stockpile, or create it piecemeal around an object. There's an eraser icon down at the bottom that flips the draw mode from paint to erase.

This was useful thank you. My boys still seem to get pretty bogged down.

My dwarves wont haul goods out of trade depos. I have tried removing the depo forbiding and unforbiding. They wont haul the items to dump either.
I even made a burrow and assigned 80 dwarves to it with various hauling labors and nothing. Yes i have many nearby stockpiles set to the same goods.
I even tried placing a stockpile under the goods after removing the depo and setting it to move goods to another stockpile.
The dwarves just sit around with "no job

You were incorrect on the leather stockpile and how it needs to be set up. Raw hides are refuse, listed under item types -> fresh raw hide. It only becomes leather after the tanner processes it.

[headfmob]

is it necessary to put food stockpile in barrack? I thought it's better if they go to proper dining hall so they get positive thought. Also I think you want auto process fish turn on and create a seperate unprepared fish stockpile next to your fishing zone, your fisherdwarf will fish and haul immediately next to him, and fish cleaner will take it to fishery to clean and then put to your main food stockpile. For raw hide you don't want your dwarf to put it in stockpile after butchering animal, they should automatically tan the hides at tan workshop, the output of that workshop is the one you want your leather stockpile linked too not butcher ws

Holy moly those stone stockpiles made me cringe so hard. This is the fastest way to put dwarfs in a never ending infinite loop of hauling I would recommend not doing that.
