stockpile settings management
-----------------------------
copystock
----------
~~~~~~~~~
Copies the parameters of the currently highlighted stockpile to the custom
stockpile settings and switches to custom stockpile placement mode, effectively
allowing you to copy/paste stockpiles easily.
savestock
~~~~~~~~~
Saves the currently highlighted stockpile's settings to a file in your Dwarf
Fortress folder. This file can be used to copy settings between game saves or
players.
example:
```
savestock food_settings.dfstock
```
loadstock
~~~~~~~~~
Loads a saved stockpile settings file and applies it to the currently selected
stockpile.
example:
```
loadstock food_settings.dfstock
```
To use savestock and loadstock, use the 'q' command to highlight a stockpile.
Then run savestock giving it a descriptive filename. Then, in a different (or
same!) gameworld, you can highlight any stockpile with 'q' then execute the
'loadstock' command passing it the name of that file. The settings will be
applied to that stockpile.
**Notes:** It saves and loads files relative to the DF folder, so put your files
there or in a subfolder for easy access. Filenames should not have spaces.
**Limitations:** Generated materials, divine metals, etc are not saved as they
are different in every world.
