How do i store sand bags again?

[Lain]

I embarked with hundreds and they want to store them one bag per tile. I may just be confused with all the ui changes but what am i missing?

[Faceless]

Bins?

Stored in the furniture stockpile. Don’t think sandbags go into anything else.

There are several settings that you have to turn on.

1) sand bags in the furniture/siege ammo stockpile settings

2) bins in the stockpile settings

3) maximum bins in the "max barrels/bins/wheelbarrows settings"

4) allow non-plant-and-animal-based objects

Not sure to be honest. I didn't even know you could have sand bags!

Is there a specific job for moving things in the stock pile into bins and barrels?

Another step needed is to allow Core and Total quality settings in the Furniture menu. Otherwise dwarves won't haul the bags.
