Will dwarves automatically haul whatever they need to make something (e.g.: wooden barrel) at a workshop, or does the specific hauling setting for that item type (e.g.: wood hauling) need to be activated? --Wabbiteh 21:58, 7 March 2008 (EST)

Dwarves automatically gather raw materials needed to produce things. Hauling is only needed to move things into stockpiles or dump them in a designated dumping zone. Bouchart 22:57, 7 March 2008 (EST)

Strength building

This article could use some more details, such as the fact hauling stone is a good method for building strength of dwarves (namely, soldiers in training). If anyone knows the formula, and if it applies to more than just stone, that may be helpful.unsigned comment by Eddie18:56, 5 July 2008

I have rock haulers - who have no other task enabled - who have been rock haulers for several years. They are no stronger then when they started. Miners develop strength far more quickly and it would seem pump operators too but I haven't done anything with pumps yet.GarrieIrons 02:17, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
According to the experience page Dwarfs only gain attributes from tasks associated with a skill. As there is no hauling skill, dwarfs don't get strength from lugging stone around.unsigned comment by Dangerous Beans
I built a single useless pump and set all my haulers to run it manually. They take turns gaining experience while the others do their duties. Scribbler 11:13, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

Umm, metal bars?

Is this Item or stone? unsigned comment by Drunken

Bars/Blocks -Fuzzy 17:12, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
Oh, right... :-p wrong paradigm. In my experience, it's Item hauling. I've seen people with stone-hauling turned off move the bars. -Fuzzy 17:13, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Trade Depot Hauling

I just saw a dwarf who only has the Burial, Refuse and Cleaning hauling-tasks listed on my Unit menu with the task "Bring Item to Depot." Does this imply that all dwarves will bring items to the Trade Depot, or is this just some kind of fluke? RomeoFalling 07:47, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

Pretty sure it's everyone just like harvesting. Unlike harvesting, there's no way to turn this off, although it is on the list of cancellable jobs. -Fuzzy 08:26, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
Can someone confirm this? That info should really be on the Hauling page, if it's true. I've wasted *hours* trying to micromange dwarves into moving things to the Depot. When added, we should explicitly mention that they do not automatically take everything out of the Depot. RomeoFalling 11:23, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
