Summary0004054: Food stockpiles refuse to use barrels.
DescriptionI have plenty of barrels, and yet my dwarfs have decided to start leaving food on the floor instead of storing it properly. I have plenty of idlers and barrels, and have not messed with the barrel settings.

It is also worth noting that I have made several 'Large Green Glass Pots' which are also not being used. I have a feeling they might be part of the problem.

Here is the save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3834 [^]

Looks like a dupe of 2962 (which is bothering me too in this release):

Can anyone corroborate that this issue is linked to nest boxes, as mentioned by Seraph at 0004054:0015551?

I have a save where you can see it happen pretty clearly. Load the save and do one of the two following things:
A) Do nothing and food stockpiles don't use barrels correctly.
B) Define a dump and dump the 4 nest boxes I have and suddenly barrels start being utilized normally.

The caveat is that I've edited the raws pretty heavily (fewer stones, no goblin ambushes, and maybe no-eat humans) but if you want it I can upload it.

Yeah, those raw mods shouldn't matter for this issue (hopefully). Uploading it would be great.

Foot, I haven't seen the issue and I haven't created a nest box.

FWIW: I was able to "fix" GauHelldragon's save by going into the stocks menu and dumping everything listed under "tools".

Also, my save is available on DFFD
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3873 [^]

There is also a thread on the forum talking about this (where I got the idea to dump the nest boxes)

This happened to me as well. However, it was two unused hives that were causing it in my save, as I had no unused nest boxes.

I had this issue until I dumped all tools. They are fairly slow at moving the food into barrels though.

I think this bug has been fixed; I was getting it in the previous version, but on updating it's gone. Presumably all tools counting as containers was holding up the use of actual containers, and with that fixed it's no longer an issue.
Anyone still getting this?

I'm getting it in .22

Bunch of plump helmets and seeds in my stockpiles for a very long time now, no one is taking them into a barrel. I have a lot of spare pots and barrels in my furniture stockpile, and a lot of idlers.

Yep I made bags and they worked.

Plump Helmets are still in the open by the dozens.

A save would be much more helpful than a screenshot in this case. http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]

Is the food stockpile's barrel limit sufficiently high? Are the barrels unforbidden? Are there dwarves with the appropriate burrow permissions and labors enabled?

It was fixed when instead of two food stockpiles next to eachother, I removed them both and made it one big stockpile. The dwarves then used the barrels and pots. So that might be something to reproduce it with.

Edit: Scratch that, it happens again. I'll upload a save.

I think I found out something. It seems that the food stockpile isn't using up slots that have been used before. I made a new one, and they put large pots at the top, but slowly over time the pots are drifting downwards as they get emptied, refilled and put back on the stockpile, but never in a spot that has been in use before. Comparison screenshots, as the save is above:

Before http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542889549681093446/F88CAC8665DE23CA65361071CE09D74E1A7D2680/ [^]

Used food stockpile slots are not reused, it's my suspicion and might be right or wrong.

I've cleaned this one up -- in Orkel's save at the bottom of the comments, they clean up the messy stockpile immediately on load now (though it takes a while!)
