I've discovered more strange behaviour around stuff in containers.
When dwarves are hauling most things, they'll take it to the nearest stockpile. For items in containers, this is not the case - instead, they'll haul it to the OLDEST stockpile regardless of distance UNLESS that stockpile is set to give to another stockpile, in which case they'll evaluate the chain and haul it directly to the last stop. This is obviously not desired behaviour if, for example, you have a drinks pile next to your still which is linked to a minecart route which is then linked to a drinks stockpile deep in your fort. The minecart route in this case is skipped entirely.
Note that this behaviour is most noticeable when you just have one barrel to be hauled. If you have multiple, it seems to be divided evenly among the available stockpiles (again, regardless of distance). But if you only have one still and enough idle dwarves, this means that each created drink will just be hauled to the oldest stockpile. |
