#1
For the work priorities, #1 is the highest priority and #4 is the lowest. The jobs are also prioritised Left>Right, so if two jobs have the same number then the job that is further to the left will take priority. eg. If Construction and Hauling are both set to #1, then the Pawn will do Construction jobs first.

For the hauling problem there could be a number of possible reason why your Pawns won't haul the raw meat from the low priority stockpile to the higher one. Such as one of the zones being outside of your Pawn(s) allowed area, or the settings for the higher priority stockpile not being configured to accept the "raw" meat. (there is no "raw" meat, as the type of meat is specific to whatever creature it ae from. So Muffalo meat, Cat meat etc. So check the setting on the higher priority stockpile accepts "whatever" meat you are trying to haul there).


(FYI - this thread started out as a support thread and then evolved into the OP asking general gameplay questions, at which point I split some of the posts to GD from support. So the "Thanks its work now" aspect of the OP is in relation to the support issue. FYI-ing this info just in case anyone was wondering)

I think you may be asking how to get to the number rather than just the check marks. If so, there is a button along the top of that window that switches you to "manual" mode. Click that.

Zone Extreme is probably meant to be a higher priority stockpile?

Most likely case is you do not have the higher priority stockpile set up correctly. Double check your setting for that stockpile.

Also, are you running any mods? Some mods add the extra setting for "allow fresh" and if you have that mod and do not click that setting, no food will be stored there.

About hauling,
sometimes you need to wait a few seconds ingame time that the pawns recognize the changed storage setting.
But when they still don't want to haul after a while, then you set the wrong storage settings.
But in case of meat, all hauler refuse to haul food (and meat is food too) from a prisoner area.
