is there a cool quick way to stack?

[BuNNiFuFu]

So I have like 15-20 half stacks of wood. Without resizing/or changing my stockpile, is there a quick way to have them fill out the stacks and no just keep creating new ones?

Set someone to do some dedicated hauling, or trap/zone someone in the storage area with nothing to do but merge piles.

Unfortunately, they'll go back to not merging stack piles once free but :/

I'm pretty sure they'll do it themselves when there's no other hauling to do for the most part. I've witnessed pawns start organizing stacks when there's nothing left to haul. Could be a mod I'm using, but I think it's vanilla behaviour.

I think they only bother to merge stacks when it will actually free up a space, though. So if you've got a stack of 40 wood and another stack of 40 wood, they'll probably not bother merging them into a 75 stack and a 5 stack, since it doesn't free any space. I might be wrong on this last part; it's been a while since I've actually thought to watch them organize

It is vanilla, and they will combine stacks even if it doesn't save space.

It's a decent mod if you want to avoid having partial stacks to begin with, but it will break your game repeatedly in several ways and require reloading your save. I used to use it before the vanilla stack cleanup was added, I was happy to drop it though. Lets just say there's a reason vanilla works the way it does here, the reservation system is important for stability.

Oh good to know. I deleted the original post so I could go check myself rather than possibly spread misinformation.

I trust you on that. I think I used it for a bit but since I was also using Pick Up and Haul, it broke the game, and I preferred Pick Up and Haul.

Unfortunately, it's the only mod I know that will do what OP wants, probably for the same reason you state ;D

Yes, it can get wonky sometimes, but pawns should (more or less) merge stacks automatically. You can order a pawn to combine stacks, or increase the priority of "Haul" on the work tab.

without mod you need to split your stockpile zone. for example if you dedicate a 10x5 area for wood, you make a zone of it for example 3x5 and set it on higher priority, 3x5 normal prio, and 4x10 low prio

thanks everyone! I got it all to work with that
