How many bars does it take to make a bin? Does it depend on what kind of metal? I've gotten canceled messages for "Can't find 2 iron bars" or "can't find 3 platinum bars"...
- 3 bars or 1 log, see the metalsmith page Coelocanth
to do
- Yes, but it varies by item type. A bin can always fit at least 10 (I think). If you're storing socks, it can hold many more. VengefulDonut 11:37, 21 February 2008 (EST)
problem
I fail to have an armor bin, they always carry them of to cloth piles and whatnot. Any tricks? Maybe needs a metal bin?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Koltom (talk•contribs)
- Edit the settings on your stockpiles to keep out the things that you dont want to go there. VengefulDonut 11:37, 21 February 2008 (EST)
- yeah, i limited bins on all stockpiles to what was already there. For a change they now put the bins on furniture piles -empty- but at least 3 of 10 arrived on armor piles and the clutter is gone. But its terrible micromanagement to adjust the piles every time one needs a new bin - i will just have to mass produce... --Koltom 20:46, 21 February 2008 (EST)
Bin transfer?
When making a new stockpile and deleting the previous, the dwarves only decide to move the goods that are not within bins. The new stockpile isn't close to full, and the filled bins sit in the old room without the designation. Is there a (non-tedious) way to make the dwarves move the bins to my new stockpile? --Sphexx 06:13, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
- I would have designated the new as taking from the old before deleting it... Though, I can't recall ever having bins left behind that weren't empty. --Edward 08:20, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
How Bins are Allocated
It would be cool to add info on how and when bins are allocated. I know it's dynamic based on the forums answer I got, but I don't know enough to take a good stab at adding it to the wiki. -- Macguffin 10:54, 29 June (EDT)
- As far as I know, the bins are automatically allocated based on how many stockpiles are 'in need of bins'. They usually try to fulfil one stockpiles need for bins before all of the others. Try to keep one bin limit on all of them before increasing the limits. --AlexFili 04:30, 25 July 2008 (EDT)
Magma safe bins
If I have a bin made of magma safe material, such as nickel, and I pour lava onto the bin will its contents be safe or will I end up with an undamaged bin full of ashes? Diabl0658 16:46, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
