40d Talk:Barrel
Not sure exactly what we should have in this article. I'm taking out info on alcohol and putting that into its own article, but Mix Food might be noted on the Orders page. I'm moderately sure that I'm right about this order, but I may not have tested sufficiently - change it if you decide otherwise. --User:Thexor, unsigned
Barrels not used for food?
I have a food stockpile near my dining room, and a furniture stockpile near my crafters. The food in the food stockpile appears to be dumped on the floor, while spare barrels sit in the furniture stockpile. How can I fix this? --Shoez 17:56, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
- If the food stockpile has been entirely filled, dwarves won't move a barrel over. You need to clear some floor space in the food stockpile before they'll do so. This is one of the quirks with how it handles barrels.
- You can try designating another food stockpile to get the ball rolling, or try dumping some food in order to make room.
- Addendum: Also check to see that you aren't reserving any barrels in the Stockpiles setting. --JT 18:07, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

Barrel amounts?
Are there any barrel amounts, apart from 5 drinks per barrel? Would be nice to know for the extra barrels ;) --G1real 17:13, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
- Just added something that is hopefully correct. Qwertyu 05:06, 20 June 2008 (EDT)
Empty Barrels not really empty?
Sometimes my dwarfs put a barrel someplace pretty random. In this particular case it is on the dining room floor. Although the barrel seems empty (it doesn't show any content when i look at at it (k), it is not recognized as an empty barrel. It's it not stored with other empty furniture, it cannot be used for brewing, etc. It feels like there's something I'm missing here.
