Wheelbarrows will be stored in their assigned stockpile when not in use, potentially sharing a tile with a stockpiled item. A stockpile's wheelbarrows are only used to carry items ''to'' that stockpile; they will not be used to carry items away ''from'' it. |
| − | Dwarves carrying items in wheelbarrows | + | Dwarves carrying items in wheelbarrows ignore the weight of the contents, moving always at their top speed. This makes them particularly useful for hauling heavy items like stone, which slow haulers a lot. |
| − | + | Wheelbarrows carry less stuff than [[minecart]]s, but do not require a track to be preconstructed, and can go up and down stairs. | |
| − | + | If wheelbarrows are assigned to a stone stockpile, dwarves will haul items to that stockpile only via wheelbarrow, waiting for one to become available to start hauling. If you set wheelbarrows at your stockpile to 0, all haulers may carry stones there, but will do it by hand, which is painfully slow work when long distances are involved. | |

| + | If wheelbarrows are assigned to a custom stockpile accepting both stone and other items, the wheelbarrows will be used to haul only stone, in the same manner as with a stone stockpile, while other items will be hauled by hand. | ||
