Moving items from one stockpile to another

[valenti_scott]

Hello-
I have a stockpile which is almost full, so I designated another stockpile in a building about 30 tiles away. The first stockpile has quite a few clubs in it, so I indicated that this stockpile would not allow clubs.

Then, for the new stockpile, I designated that it would take clubs, and only clubs. The idea is that pawns would then transfer the clubs from the first stockpile to the second. A simple idea. But this wasn't happening.

I even tried telling one of the colonists to haul a club, but I got the message "cannot haul wooden club (no empty, accessible spot configured to store it)." Note that I specifically indicated that a stockpile would take clubs. Has anyone seen this sort of thing?

I'm glad you gave enough detail, this makes the most likely cause quite obvious.

Make sure you didn't un-select the "allow smeltable weapons' and/or "allow non-smeltable weapons." (Or something along those lines, don't have the game open at the moment.)

Edit: I'll give a bit more detail, just in case.
The "Weapons" category of a stockpile has the two mentioned checkboxes at the top which are a bit further to the right. That's because they're sort of an over-arching level, applicable to whichever types of weapons you select below them.
Same thing with Apparel where you can allow clean and/or tainted apparel.
Or the one at the very top of the menu where you can allow fresh and/or rotten things, which applies to all items of all subcategories.

If you accidentally deselect both those options - which is pretty easy to do - then it can't accept any items of that type.

look at the storage box, upside is the option to set priority.

It was the thing about smeltable/non-smeltable weapons. Thanks for your help!
