Improved Stockpiles & Hauling

[Muramas]

While playing I found a few issues with stockpiles and hauling and I think this will improve gameplay.

#1: If a preferred stockpile has a high priority (such as important / critical) we should have the option on how few items in that stockpile should be used before attempting to restock it. Setting a stockpile with a slider saying if missing "% of all space in stockpile" Ex: If a stockpile had 2 spots with 10 meals, at 50 restock it will be refilled when there are only 10 left.
This will reduce the amount of small hauls such as a meal stockpile needing to be filled after one meal gets removed or a crafting stockpile which is filled has free space because the crafter is using a part of a stack.

#2: If a crafter produces a item and the closest preferred stockpile (higher priority) is far away we should have an option (other than on the floor and best stockpile) to choose closest stockpile which ignores priority.

#3: Be able to tell haulers to move items from one stockpile to another. Ex: If a stockpile is full I can set a command for haulers to move units to another stockpile.
This will let crafters be able to use the closest stockpile still and have full stockpiles migrated away.

#4: Limit how many items exist in a stockpile. Ex: 1 stack of each leather and the rest cloth
This will help limit the use of multiple stockpiles by using larger stockpiles by managing them better.

I partially agree.  I, too, would love to micromanage my stock piles.  I've managed to do this with multiple small adjacent stockpiles with varying priorities.

But one of the reasons is that a square meter can only hold a single shirt or pair of pants.  Or a stack of one meal, because none of the others have the same order of the same ingredients.

Alternatively, I'd like to use a more Dwarf Fortress approach and have barrels, boxes and shelves to combine ingredients together.  A clothing rack to hold an entire outfit or more, since my bedroom closet is just under a square meter and I can hold all the clothes that my wife and I own (minus her shoes and purses, of course).  A rack of barrels to hold beer kegs.

I agree that containers need to be added but I know that solution has been requested by a lot of people. I am trying to request other changes that be needed as well.
