The stock pile stores resources in separate stacks of each type. Each stack occupies a 2x2 footprint. Hence a 2x2 (minimum size) stock pile will only be able to store one type of resource at a time.

First Appearance

A Stock Pile containing Logs, Stone, Firewood and Iron.

The Stock Pile is capable of storing logs, stone, iron, coal and firewood in its inventory.

Capacity

The stock pile stores resources in separate stacks of each type. Each stack occupies a 2x2 footprint.

Stacks of resources contain differing amounts of each type of resource.

Resource Stack Size
Logs 22
Stone 16
Iron 10
Firewood 64
Coal ?

These numbers are approximate, as it appears that not all stacks may be filled to capacity at the same time leading to resources being deposited into the next stack.

The following example was observed: 90 iron fits into 9 stacks, 91 iron occupied 10 stacks, however 100 iron occupied 11 stacks. This would be impossible if all stacks were efficiently filled.

It may be that the stockpile just has a capacity based on the size, and the graphical representations of stacks do not directly affect storage.


A good strategy may be to designate a stockpile next to some resources being gathered and then removing it once the local resources have been gathered. This will make the laborers finish gathering and then bring the resources back, rather than making many trips while harvesting resources.
