Do berries and wood need to be stacked together, I wonder. Otherwise, stack berries along the back half of the stockpile space, rather then randomly mixed with wood.
Well it just seems like a situation that needs to be planned for, when you are forced to have something just in the middle, e.g. a 3x3 stockpile, 9 different items, if you did want that middle item, how do you get it without walking through others?
Well reasoned! That is pretty much the problem. Objects have an optional collision region, that can be specified in their json files. If you turn on collision for those wooden blocks, the pathfinder needs to become much smarter, or stockpiles need to have aisles, or you need to make stockpiles in very long, narrow rows. Or some other solution we havenāt come up with yet!

Hmmā¦ new uses for Telekinesisā¦
Why not just have the villagers walk over objects in stockpiles? While it may not be the prettiest, it could serve to eliminate the current pathfinding problem until a better solution is found.

You could have them move items around in a stockpile? So if there was an item in the middle of a 3x3 stock pile that wasnāt directly accessible, the civs could pick one item up and swap it for the one they want, or pick it up and put it to the side for a second?
As in ā¦ all items are stored in a stockpile ā¦ rather than walking to the middle to pick up the middle object they simply pick up an object at the edge will be the object they desire?
Not really, I thought as in if they made items in a stockpile solid, they could move items around to make a path for themselves.
@EpicDwarf Iām so glad you love the soundtrack! Thank you for the compliment, but the credit goes to @Raj. He created both of the tracks you hear in the Alpha, including his brand new Stonehearth title track!

Like one of those puzzles where you have to move the pieces around to make a picture?
Well, looks like we have the Stockpile minigame sorted!

And so the prophecies were true!
@Raj congratulations man, now that Iāve had a chance to play around with the Alpha I can safely itās now hard to imagine the thing without your music.
@Doug I canāt wait what the future has in store for the music and sounds of Stonehearth - it certainly does look promising!
Also, is it just me or is the cuckoo call at dawn the same one from Zelda?

@Geoffers747 The prophecies were in fact true!
Iāll have to go back and have a listen to the Zelda owl call youāre speaking of. I hope it turns out being an unintentional tip of the hat to that fantastic franchise

Was it your idea to have that little lullaby when you zoom in close on sleeping civs, @Doug?

But itās difficult to say if itās the same sound, you have a good ear.
in my case the owl sound at night reminds me of harvest moon.
Iām trying to find an isolated version with no luck. I could record it myself actually ā¦
On second thoughts, thatās too much hassle, Iāll trawl the interweb.
