Been having troubles maintaining wood

My dwarves just wont haul it! My stockpiles are empty and woodless while the outside is full of it. Everything in [o]rders are set correctly and I ahve the stock piles. What the hell am i doing wrong?

Edit: Refuse aswell! Why arent my dwarves hauling!

Edit2: Im starting to fear the worst. wood wont be stock piled and the dead vermin are piling up

That title sounds almost intentionally misleading.

Are they busy? Are you running therapist so you can check what they're currently doing?

Are you 1 or 2 migrations in? If I'm organized, my first 7 don't haul much. They're digging, farming, hunting, fishing, etc. The 1st or 2nd wave I finally get my haulers.

I have therapist running and ive specialized everyone and plenty have the option to haul (I have peasants even) so I DON'T THINK that's the case. I don't know whether or not to say its a bug or if there's something im just doing wrong.

Are they doing other things? That column right next to their name will tell you what they're currently doing.

If they're just sitting around doing nothing... <shrug> Guess restart.

Such is life.

i had this problem. Dwarves weren't using stock piles or workshops from a certain period onwards. I had to rebuild and redesignate stock piles and workshops and everything was fine

Check the orders screen to make sure you havent accidentally turned off the 'gather wood' option. Ive done that accidentally a few times while toggling web collecting or refuse orders on that screen

I had this problem at one point. Turned out that I had enabled wheelbarrows on my wood stockpiles, which the haulers took to mean that they should only haul wood in wheelbarrows, thus limiting me to 3 haulers per stockpile. I disabled the wheelbarrows (don't need them anyway--wood is pretty light) and my entire hauling core sprung into action.

May or may not be helpful, but it's a thought.

Are the stockpiles accessible? Try ordering a military dwarf there.

Try asking your doctor about Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. There are some other options but they'll only get more expensive. Viagra is coming out with a generic later this year so the price will hopefully help.

Good luck!
