− | + | Placement of workshops based around the flow of materials from workshop to workshop can make hauling faster and more efficient. For example, farms near your kitchen and brewery near your dining room which supplies seeds back to the farm. | |

− | + | [[Farm|Farms]] feed a wide array of workshops. Farms directly feed the [[kitchen]], [[still]], [[millstone]] (or [[quern]]) and [[farmer's workshop]]. The mill and farmer's workshop feed the [[loom]] and [[dyer]] which feed the [[clothier]]. Farms are in turn supplied seeds from the still, mill, farmer's workshop and dining rooms completing the cycle of life. | |
− | + | As such, it's a good idea to design all these workshops and their [[stockpile]]s around each other. Farms can only be built in certain places, so that dictates the location and layout. | |

− | + | A better strategy is to put the workshop's stockpile above or below it. This keeps the stockpiles close to the workshops, lets the workshops expand and you can expand the stockpiles above and below as necessary. It works particularly well with multiple similar workshops working off the same stockpile. | |

Designate a refuse stockpile taking Corpses for the butcher and Fresh Raw Hides for the tanner. Alternatively, it may be wise to ensure that Fresh Raw Hides are not accepted by ''any'' stockpiles so that they may be taken directly from the Butcher's shop to be tanned. |

* Note: When near a [[necromancer|necromancer tower]], butcher shops and refuse piles where corpses are collected should be kept within the fortress out of line of sight of any necromancer.
