Stockpiles
Stockpiles are areas of the ground set aside for Clanfolk to leave Items.
The Main Toolbar will initially have no options, but after having Clanfolk gather Berries or Stones it begins to open up with either the Food or Ingredients Stockpile first. Each type of Stockpile has a unique border colour.
When Stockpiles have been placed they may be extended by attempting to create a new Stockpile of the same type from inside the existing Stockpile. An adjacent Stockpile will not merge.
Until Stockpiles are placed the Clanfolk will not Haul any of the Gathered Branches, Stones, etc. back to the Colony, unless they are needed specifically for a Building, or as ingredients in crafting something. With a stockpile a Clanfellow may go and collect the mass of resources that are left in place after Gathering. More efficient due to carry stack sizes.
Should multiple Stockpiles (or Storage Objects) be created, the Clanfolk will not transfer between Stockpiles or Storage unless no other Hauling Jobs are available.
After creating a Stockpile the player may alter what it contains by (de)selecting the items in the infobox that shows up while the stockpile is selected. When new Items are later discovered/crafted they will be added by default in each relevant Stockpile. An on/off toggle is available as well that may be used to disallow all newly discovered Items.
One simple use for this feature is to remove Large Rocks from what may be stored in an Ingredients Stockpile. As rocks are heavy they take longer to haul, and as they can't be stacked they occupy a tile per Rock. Potentially leading to an Ingredient stockpile being dominated by rocks.
Speciality Storage Objects will be unlocked in the Ideas tree as the game progresses and largely supersede the Stockpiles in all but cost/time. Stack size per tile is increased by six times in most storages, and many are waterproof as well, reducing the need for shelter (especially with many Items being damaged by Rain).
