Stone cutters hauling debris from random location

[Alandil]

I noticed that stonecutters never seem to haul debris to cut it from the nearest position, which seems to be the standard otherwise, instead choosing randomly from any debris block on the map.

This takes up a lot of time and is pretty dangerous, since it is likely to attract raiders.

In the bill to make stone blocks, what is the search radius set to?

[Alandil]

It was set to 9999 range. However I made a special storage zone for the debris close by and tried setting it lower, but now it's also working at 9999 without fault. Maybe I missed something.

It was set to 9999 range.

this is exactly the problem. setting it to this radius would mean he can get resources anywhere, regardless where it is. try setting it 15-30. Also, you need to put a stockpile near the table(2-5tiles away) so that if wont waste time roaming around.
