Talk:Refuse stockpile

From DwarfFortressWiki

What are the advantages of using a refuse stockpile over a dump zone? That might not be very clear to new players.--Xazak 19:55, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Considering myself a new player, the usefulness/function of a dump zone is not clear to me, yes. For now, after some experimentation, i go with not having a dump zone. --Koltom 23:17, 15 February 2008 (EST)

dump zone lets you drop a lot of whatever on 1 square, such as an entire floors worth of stone. you do, however, have to designate each individual thing to be dumped. refuse stockpile only takes trash, but does so automaticaly -Chariot 03:44, 16 February 2008 (EST)

So uh, how do you make a refuse stockpile? What keys in what order? I can't get it to work and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if the Dwarfs are being naughty. (Wow! Thanks...I'm not sure how I missed that.  :)

press p then r , then enter to start marking the area, move cursor, press enter again, refuse stockpile appears. --Koltom 18:45, 2 March 2008 (EST)

Do Shells and bones create miasma? If I create a custom indoor stockpile for them,do I need the airlock system? Currently I only keep fresh hides in a custom stock pile inside a room that holds the butcher and tanner --Mey 17:03, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Shells and bones do not generate miasma when indoors. Decaying matter that generates shells and bones will, of course. --Marble Dice 18:07, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
