(d -> b -> d -> enter -> enter) the Barrel, then (ESC).

I deleted my active Garbage Dumps Zones, then I created a 1x1 Garbage Dump Zone near the Barrel.

I want this tallow to be moved to my Primary Materials Stockpile, but it's currently stuck in this Barrel.

Here is a Barrel with some Tallow in it.

In the examples that follow, I will abbreviate some of them for the sake of brevity. Note: For this example, I will give exact commands that need to be followed. They cause more headaches than they resolve. NOTE: Make sure that the stockpiles your Dwarves are hauling your recently recovered items to DON'T have Bins or Barrels enabled that are going to cause you this issue again!Ī Suggestion: Learn to play this game without using Bins, and to some extent Barrels. Once the items have been Reclaimed, your Dwarves will come haul those items to the appropriate Stockpile.(d -> b -> c -> enter -> enter) will Reclaim them. Items highlighted Green are currently Forbidden. Once all of the items have been removed from the Container, (d -> b -> c- > enter -> enter) the items on that 1x1 Garbage Dump Zone.If the container moved, you undumped incorrectly. This is why you want to create the new Zone and have it close by to the bad container.so you can easily see and track the items being dumped. One you unpause the game, Dwarves will come and dump all items, that are in the container, on to your 1x1 Garbage Dump Zone.This will undump the container itself, but still leave the items INSIDE the container to be dumped. (k -> enter) the container and press (d).(d -> b -> d -> enter -> enter) the container that contains the items you want to retrieve.Create a new 1x1 Garbage Dump Zone near the container in question: (i -> enter -> enter -> g).You can go back and re-create your original Garbage Dump Zone later. If possible, delete your existing Garbage Dump Zone in preparation to retrieve these items (i -> x -> X). Identify where your Garbage Dump Zone is.Identify the container that has the items you want to retrieve.To retrieve these items, you will need to follow some form of this process: We've all experienced the situation where we have an item in a Bin, Barrel, or Bag (or other container) that we want, but for whatever reason, the game absolutely refuses to stockpile it.
