The mill and farmer's workshop feed the [[loom]] and [[dyer]] which feed the [[clothier]]. Farms are in turn supplied seeds from the still, mill, farmer's workshop and dining rooms completing the cycle of life. |
As such, it's a good idea to design all these workshops and their stockpiles around each other. Farms can only be built in certain places, so that dictates the location and layout. | As such, it's a good idea to design all these workshops and their stockpiles around each other.

Turn off traps, the Unusable flag, all metal except silver (and maybe copper) and high core qualities (total quality does not matter). This should leave you with low damage bone, wood and silver weapons. If you don't have any, assign an untrained dwarf to make copper weapons. |

Place this stockpile in a room with a door near your barracks. When the time comes to activate your military, switch them to unarmed so they'll drop their training weapons, station them in the weapon stockpile, wait until they get inside, forbid the door and then change them to use their trained weapons. They'll have no choice but to pick up what's in the weapons locker with them. | Place this stockpile in a room with a door near your barracks.
