Summary0001643: Dwarves choose to do hauling/collecting jobs furthest away
DescriptionWhen multiple hauling jobs exist, dwarves seem to choose a job furthest from their current position to go do next. Also when workshop workers need to collect material, they tend to try to collect material very far away often walking over hundreds of available materials to get to their destination.

Steps To ReproduceStart a fortress and dig out a tunnel a fair distance away from the wagon. Pause the game and designate a garbage pit. Designate all the mined stone to be dumped. Create a large stockpile near the wagon and set it to allow everything. A dwarf will walk to the mine, throw away a stone, then walk all the way across the map to the wagon and transfer a single item, then walk all the way back to the mine to discard another stone, etc.
Additional InformationThe workshop workers in question in my fortress were stonecrafters. Sometimes they would use the huge (150+) stockpile of stone right next to the workshop, but most of the time they will walk a thousand squares or so away to get a stone. The stockpile was an actual stockpile, not a 1 square garbage dump.
