I didn’t know this starting out, but you can store a lot of different items in bins.
Use storage items like bins, barrels, and bags. I do this with my smiting industry and carpentry, as you can see with my wood stockpile. Having a general stockpile is good, but having smaller, custom stockpiles for workshops can make things way easier. Set up multiple stockpiles so that your dwarves can have a direct line from your workshops. You will have to edit your stockpiles and erase the square where you want your stairs, otherwise your won’t be able to mine the stairs out in the first place. Your dwarves should now have to travel less to pick up and deposit goods. You can put stairs in your main stockpile and have your workshops above or below that. So here are some things I figured out to help make life easier. My dwarves would have to run across the entire thing to get one item all the way at the back, and it was horrible. In my first few fortresses my stockpile ballooned to a massive size and was constantly filling to the brim. Getting your stockpiles and workshops to work well together can be a real pain. You can now simply hit i and then f to re-allow corpses that you want hauled (such as those generating miasma in a bad spot). This is a good way to prevent your dwarves from rounding up every dead body a monster slayer leaves behind in your cavern. Setting it to forbid other non-hunted dead will make it so your dwarves only collect friendly corpses, or corpses of the animals you hunt. Under sieges and forbidding you will see an ‘Other Dead’ option. If you’ve ever noticed that the second you breach a cavern your dwarves start running around in there before its safe, this is likely why. In automated workshops, turn off automatic web collection. Most of the stuff is self explanatory and you may set at your own convenience, but I recommend two things:

It contains a lot of VERY useful options to toggle on for your dwarves, such as automation of certain workshops, whether or not your dwarves should haul or ignore certain things in the world, how to behave during sieges, and what tasks children perform. Standing orders is a tab you will find in the labor menu. A lot of this stuff comes from me messing up a dozen runs and restarting. This is a collection of useful things I’ve learned and figured out since I started playing the game on release.
