Yeah, actually wheelbarrows are sorta huge. You make them out of wood or metal, like barrels, and basically any dwarf carrying an object for Hauling moves slow depending on object weight UNLESS they are using a wheelbarrow. Wheelbarrows can carry a bunch of objects at once, sort of like bins-- highly useful. You assign 0-3 wheelbarrows per stockpile in the stockpile building options. 0 means haul by hand, 1-3 means only haul using wheelbarrows, and store that number in the stockpile for hauling. Therefore, you don't want your stockpiles to be TOO big, size-wise, because then the speed of adding and removing objects is limited by your 3 wheelbarrows. | ||

The problem is, they are only used when moving material into a stockpile. Nothing else, so it's good to have them, but not all that. In addition, if a stockpile has them attached, only that number of dwarves will stock it simultaneously. 1 Wheelbarrow, 1 dwarf. 0 Wheels, unlimited # of dwarves. Minecarts can carry up to 5 objects at a time, but I still haven't figured out how to work them. They require tracks to be engraved/carved/built and then have rules concerning them. | ||

So it could be a chuck of the heaviest stone and they'd still move fast. The problem is, they are only used when moving material into a stockpile.

Those wheelbarrow rules suck.. Still, I think it's good to assign them to stone stockpiles. Also, you can always make a lot of stockpiles instead of one... | ||

Also, you can always make a lot of stockpiles instead of one... You can still put bins in wheelbarrows, so you can haul large numbers of stones, crafts, etc if you need to. The main thing is that stockpiles with more than, say, 50 squares in them, becomes pretty ineffecient even with a full 3 wheelbarrows assigned. | ||

_ are workshops D are doors S are stairs . are stockpiles + Show Spoiler +
Then usually I'll do something like put the raw materials on one side (say above) the block of workshops and the finished goods below. Depending on how many workshops of a type/group you need you can adjust the size of the blocks and/or change the way it's hooked into the rest of your fort. Just keep in mind what workshops will block off access to the stairs if put in a certain position. Though this layout isn't designed to let you easily wall in dwarves you can't finish demand (where's the fun in that). | ||

it's pretty fun, though travel is extremely annoying (and being in a not-dungeon all the time makes things really visually cluttered) I was doing pretty well (passed the "level 1" townspeople quests), wandered into a castle dungeon (?? though it wasn't locked), and got stabbed by a spearman, but my three followers took him out. Then I slept because I was bleeding... woke up, ate something, and another spearman appeared and stabbed me. Fun! | ||
