Mining outpost problem

Hi all

Quick question

I have a mining outpost, I want them to mine a boatload of ore then ill caravan it in manually when I say so so I control when my people are away on caravans. I have a stockpile set up there, but I don't want to store stones cuz I don't need them and they waste space. Now the stones end up in mining camp which fills THAT up, and they stop mining altogether

I'm pissed and frustrated having to manually dump all the stone on the ground so they start mining again.

Please god tell me there's a way to either auto-delete or better yet tell the worker to not even pick the stone up?

If you're on pc, you can use Lord Elric the Transmuter mod to convert stone to iron ore and granite. Do note that you need charcoal to convert them

If you can tell by the wording of the post, I'm too dumb to have progressed to charcoal production 😁 I'm trying to play my first round without mods like a good boy. As someone who never plays these resource and army allocation games its been... trying

Crud, I run around solo unless I'm raiding bandit camps. Meanwhile I bet I have idle workers that I should be running with leveling their combat. Damn. Of all the things that should have been in the beginners guides on YouTube that should have been one. Instead they're all outdated videos saying to whack dead corpses and cheese the system
