Summary0002217: 1x1 food/drink stockpiles always fill their only tile with an empty barrel
DescriptionIf you create a 1-tile stockpile that accepts only drinks, dwarves bring an empty barrel to the stockpile and will never fill it. I believe that this is due to the way stockpiles handle their containers. It seems that most stockpiles try to keep one empty container available. Adding another only when all containers have something in them. Unfortunately, since dwarves don't seem to be willing to pour drinks from one barrel into another, this does not work well for a drink stockpile, and instead it just sits indefinitely with an empty barrel on it, even though I have dozens of drink barrels that need to go to a stockpile. If you set the maximum barrel count for this stockpile to 0, it just sits empty and the dwarves will also never move a filled barrel to it.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a 1-tile food stockpile and restrict it to only drinks.

Forum discussion confirms that this is still present in 0.34.11, not surprisingly - I'm pretty sure this bug has always been in the game, as I personally encountered this back in 40d and I'm pretty sure the 2D versions were similarly affected.

Ideally, stockpiles which are set to only store Drinks should not allocate an empty barrel; Extracts and Misc Liquids would still need to claim containers, as Milk and Lye are collected in buckets and then dumped into possibly empty barrels (though plant extracts such as Dwarven Syrup and Gnomeblight are both processed directly into barrels).
