Is this happening to anyone else or is it just because i have a shared area for my craftsmen?
All other stockpiles work fine it just seems like a small bug to me.
I noticed the same issue when I set my weaver to maintain thread and cloth. It looks like the items aren’t tagged to go into stockpiles. Since the item isn’t in a stockpile it breaks the maintain function for the weaver as well.
She turned all of the raw materials into thread and didn’t move on to linen. I am guessing that the code checks to see if the set value is contained in any stockpile and if it isn’t then keep making the item until that number has been reached.
So far I noticed the thread, linen, and upgraded worker’s clothing don’t get put into stockpiles. The curtains and fur rugs are still stocked properly.
If I don’t misremember, this bug was pointed out by someone on one of the last livestreams, and Tom fixed it (and some other items that had wrong tags), so in the next release will be resolved.
But I can’t say for sure because twitch doesn’t load properly and the livestreams in question haven’t been uploaded to youtube yet.
I, too, have noticed this problem sometimes. In fact, only when stockpiles have been made selective and then fabric/thread has been selected. No fabrics are actually re-selected (Leather, cloth, thread to my knowledge.)
The current workaround I’ve found in [A7] is to have some storage areas I never try to specify what gets stored there.
Someone pointed out to me that if you ever uncheck anything in a storage area, it can never hold fabric. I’m confirming this. I’ve unchecked a box for a storage area and then re-checked it, and from that point on, fabric can’t be stored there.
How are spools of cloth, fabric and leather categorized in the storage areas?
I set the main storage area not to accept spools, and set a new area to accept the spools, and the villagers put the spools out on the lawn and do not transfer them to the new location. I’m probably doing something wrong, but I don’t know what.
Does a box need to be checked? Does a box need to be highlighted?
