:summary: Empty the contents of containers onto the floor.
:tags: fort productivity items
This tool can quickly empty the contents of the selected container (bin, barrel, pot, wineskin, quiver, etc.) onto the floor, allowing you to access individual items that might otherwise be hard to get to.
If you instead select a stockpile or building, running empty-bin will empty all containers in the stockpile or building. Likewise, if you select a tile that has many items and the UI is showing the list of items, all containers on the tile will be dumped.
