Shrink a stockpile?
I am missing it, or can we not shrink stockpiles? I accidentally painted a bit out into the hall, and I'd really like to not need to delete the stockpiles and start over configuring it.

It'd be great to shrink, and even better if we could also copy/paste settings. Is the copy/paste available, and I'm missing that as well?

Yarp, we can shrink stockpiles. Clicke the stockpile, click the paint stockpile option, then click the eraser option that appears then un-paint the parts you want removed.

edit: i've not found an y copy/paste stockpile settings

There are no such warehouse settings. Which is very strange, to say the least.

Oddly enough, the Erase button to shrink stockpiles is at the bottom of the screen, as opposed to being on the left side of the screen like how shrinking zones work.

I'm sure with time the game will improve and be more consistent with its buttons placement.
