Summary0003111: Stockpile Additional Options Category Does Not Function Correctly For Food
DescriptionThis is the first time this has occurred although I have only just started playing! I'm not sure if this happens with underground farms but at the moment I have two outdoor farms that only get at least one or two squares harvested per crop even though there are clearly several stacks of various plants. They do not rot. I tried dumping several crop stacks to a dump zone and then reclaiming but still nothing.

I have also checked all of my custom stockpiles, deleted some and remade them. I just cant get these plants moved! Not sure if they get used for cooking/brewing but it's kind of annoying having a whole heap of flashing crops that I can't store neatly away!
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationSo far it's happened with prickle berries, longland grass and wild strawberries. I have a save file to upload if necessary but not sure how to? Also, you can't laugh at my meagre fortress beginnings!

In my experience, if someone harvests the crop and leaves it on the field, it's because there wasn't a food stockpile capable of accepting it. (I suppose a lack of food haulers could also achieve this.)

You might check burrow settings too, just in case you accidentally made a burrow that makes it impossible for your food haulers to get from the farm plot to the appropriate stockpile.

Not rotting is a bug, 0001280. They should be used for brewing, eating, etc.

Plants are under the food stockpile setting. If you have a food stockpile that isn't full, these should be taken there. Make sure they are not wilted, though. You can designate those for dumping by using d-b-d.

Uploaded the save. For further info - No burrows have been assigned yet (I have yet to experiment with burrows!) and I have tried assigning the haulers to varying degrees of hauling activity - right down to exclusive food hauling and back up to enabling all hauling and disabling other professions.

At first I thought it was a backup of good needing to be hauled but with 16 idle dwarves now (I just got hit by those pesky immigrants again) and the food still sitting there it's starting to ah .. .bug me. I have removed designated food stockpiles and reassigned them - I even put a pile next to the plots. Still nada.

It may be that I'm just a nub but I have beaten my head against the wall on this one!

I went back and checked this in both 31.25 and 31.12 Legacy. It seems when placing a food stockpile (standard or custom) the Additional Options category will only allow the stockpile to function correctly if Allow Non-Plant/Animal option is selected. Food such as plants will then be stored there, as in this report's case.

v0.43.03: Non-Plant/Animal setting enabled is still required to store various plants in a food stockpile.
