Metal Bars

Is the forge only requiring 1 metal bar, or is it only using 1 bar due to this bug? --Quietust 12:43, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I've just checked this myself - I built a metalsmith's forge, made some fuel, then ordered an iron bin to be forged while I didn't have any iron bars. "Urist cancels Construct Iron Bin: Needs 3 iron bars." When something differs significantly from the previous version, it helps to make sure that it isn't a bug. --Quietust 12:49, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep. Found that bug at bugtracker and reproduced it. Well, then I'll add a bugs sections --Peregarrett 13:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Anyone can report a bug on the tracker. People report ESC replacing space as a bug.

So to evaluate reports for wiki purposes, one needs to look if Toady has acknowledged or confirmed it, or commented on it. Or, if not Toady, then at least Footkerchief or another manager. Plus if a lot of people have confirmed it.--Confused 20:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Artifact Bins

One of my carpenters produced an artifact bin during a strange mood, and while it works perfectly for storage it, like all other artifacts, cannot be moved to the depot. This has the unfortunate side-effect of preventing you from trading the items inside it; the only solution I have found is to forbid the bin after dumping its contents. Any ideas?Fishsicles 01:49, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, don't have a solution, but a similar problem. Some of my artifacts are stored in a Finished Goods bin, which for some odd reason can't be brought to the Deopt (I assume it's because of the artifacts?) When I type search, from the Depot screen, I can't even find the bin, nor the Useless Crap I want to trade. I'll be working on this in the near future... --Zander j 07:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Found a solution to my own problem on the Talk page for Finished Goods. Fishsicles, maybe you answer lies there as well. --Zander j 09:13, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Placement

I tried to place this by 'b' for "Building" like you would to place a bed, tables, chairs, etc. It didn't appear to be available to place in that manner. How do you place these? Are they automatically taken to piles that they are needed in? Stceolfrithtx 21:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

You don't - they're automatically assigned to stockpiles that don't already have an empty bin assigned to them (and which haven't reached their bin limit). --Quietust 23:17, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
