About jugs in stock pile

[Lupa]

I'm trying to make a stock pile spesificly for jugs, but I can't seem to find it in the list. Does it go by a different name?

I think it's goblets

[LastChime]

Finished goods > tools

Note that if you use the jugs for honey, they will NOT go to a food stockpile, they will go back to finished goods>tools.

Also, anything else that is a non-jug tool will end up going to that stockpile unless you use a lot of stockpile linking.

Indeed. Was so annoying, I neded up selling all my royal jelly jugs, dismanteled my beehives, and will never really touch honey anymore. Could use the honey to brew mead, could use the wax to craft, could never have my kitchen cook with royal jelly, ending up having most of my jugs piling up with royal jelly.

I put them in 'containers' stockpile

if empty

[Sneep Snorp]

Jugs are considered a tool yeah not a container since only royal jelly and the like uses it

[Lupa]

Thanks for the Info guys, so hard to manage stockpiles when something specific is hard to find in them.

[Sneep Snorp]

If you want stone containers though, try pots theyre lighter than barrels but can hold alcohol

Yup. Wax crafts are worthless, even worse they consume labor for almost no return. You can theoretically force your kitchens to cook with royal jelly, but why bother? It doesn't improve the food value. Why go through all of this to make mead? No other drink requires so much labor involved.

The honey industry needs a quality pass.

[Lupa]

Hmm Might end up removing it if its kinda worthless for now. I was mostly doing it for variety for their drinks

[Xcorps]

It's not so much that it's worthless, it's that it's extremely expensive in terms of labor and management for what you get. Def not worth the investment for a population under 100 dwarves or in a fort where labor is really stretched thin.

You do it cuz you wanna not to minmax, also it is kinda useful in some cases if the cavern layer is too dangerous to farm well

if your only doing bees for drinks...

might try putting out a zone for collecting ground fruit and bushes.
if you let them collect right off the tree, you might want to make extra stepladders :P

Hey! I don't know if you are still playing the game, I found the way to deal with this.

Jugs are considered as Ceramics.

List of Ceramics:
1. clay/clay loam/sandy clay/silty clay (earthenware)
2. fire clay (stoneware)
3. kaolinite (porcelain)

Assuming you're using jugs only for honey purposes.

Stockpile > Finished goods > Stone/Clay > Tick/Untick Earthenware/Stoneware/Porcelain based on which stockpile you want it on or not.

I hope this helps!
