[Res] Negative/ Minus wood in stockpile

[sdee]

Thanks for helping me test this one, guys!

@Stromclaw

Thought I’d attempt a bit more investigation, and see if I could complete a simple house if I gathered enough wood. So straight from the beginning, I started a massive deforestation initiative (global warming hasn’t been coded into the features, I thought this would be fine).

I’m afraid this has nothing to do with the # of wood. They simply cannot reach the top of the house using the current version of the pathfinder.

@Stromclaw

Around this time, the workers started becoming a little confused, and would either continuously pick up and place wood in the stockpile, or just hold it until they got hungry. Construction came to a stand still…

This is totally the beginning of the end (and the beginning of the problems for the stockpile counter.) After we stomp this bug out, stay tuned for rumors of Stowanoke Island, where all the settlers died of OCD.

[On a side note: Testing it directly, this seems to be purely visual. Even at 0 wood being counted, I can still craft items as long as that wood is physically available. I ended with a -10 wood count, and had 10 crafted items placed in the world.]

Yes! There’s a bug somewhere in stockpile add/remove, which updates the counter. But whatever bug that is doesn’t actually destroy entities. So you can still use the wood.

@Rathius

It appears that after an item is crafted and picked up from the crafter’s storage area, or the normal stockpile, that it also removes a wood count. I’ve been reproducing this with various crafted items. Each time I tell them to place the item, it removes a wood count as soon as they pick it up from the storage.

Gah! I did not notice this. Thanks!
