− | * | + | * input and ouput stockpiles should be placed near corresponding [[workshop]]s. |
− | * | + | * spoils of war: dwarves may haul entire bins full of items, or items individually. However, they are not smart enough to bin items in order to carry them, so this may end in numerous needless trips from deceased enemies to your fortress, each dwarf carrying one item at a time. To counter this: |
− | ** | + | ** place a small [[bin]] stockpile and a general purpose stockpile near the battlefield. |
− | ** | + | ** when every spoil has been binned, remove the stockpiles, mark the filled bins for dumping, deactivate your usual garbage zone and create a new one in your fortress. |
− | ** | + | ** when everything has been moved, reclaim your dumped items and restore your garbage zones as usual. |
− | * | + | * construction: when constructing something big away from your fort (e.g. a road), the dwarf assigned to the construction will have to carry each item from your fort to the construction, which can take a long time. By putting stockpiles near your construction project, many dwarves may participate in the hauling, thus increasing dramatically construction speed. |
