Summary0000636: Meat hauling will not carry stacks
DescriptionAnimal meat is moved one piece at a time rather than by stack.

This leads to absurd behavior, such as being completely unable to move all of an elephant's meat to a stockpile before it rotted after butchering.

.40d behavior moved meat with the stack as a unit.

Despite rating as minor, this is a severe annoyance as virtually the entire fortress has to be tasked to food hauling simply to dispose of an individual animal's carcass after butchery.
Steps To ReproduceAny meat hauling task, especially from butcher shop.
TagsNo tags attached.

I've seen them haul meat stacks. Are you sure you don't mean rendered fat or something?

 I just watched them carrying elephant meat away from the butcher 1 meat at a time. since there were like 90 elephant meat, and my fortress has 14 dwarves, this took awhile.

This does not apply to prepared intestines and whatnot - those seem to haul as stacks just fine. Its specifically the "$name meat" items. (Barrel hauling with meat in it also appears to work fine).

Edit: Trying to reproduce while i'm explicitly watching it, just to make sure.

Ok, they picked the entire stack up that time. I don't know what's up.

 Maybe they were carrying away the individual pieces to eat?

They carry individual pieces if they are going to eat it or going to put it into backpack for later eating in case of soldiers.

I've never seen them raid tasked food items before when they weren't in a food stockpile...

 Yeah, dunno. I do know that in 40d, thirsty dwarves would frequently grab barrels of freshly brewed booze before they got moved to a stockpile. If it happens again, check what jobs the haulers are doing, that should help pin it down.
