Ideally, for a particular stockpile I want to be able to specify how far from the stockpile a dwarf is allowed to go for items. Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to assign a stockpile to a burrow, and only allow it to collect items from that burrow.
For example, Say I'm excavating several veins of the same ore, and I want a localized stockpile at each one, but I don't want my Dwarves hauling ore across the map from one vein to another if the closer stockpile is full.
Is there a way to limit the range of a stockpile like this in v0.34.11? Are there any mods out there that might do something similar?

Short of creating burrows and confining dwarves to their respective burrows, each with its own stockpiles, there is no such feature in vanilla DF -- stockpiles will accept whatever they're set to accept from anywhere on the map (notwithstanding Forbidden or otherwise inaccessible items). Sorry. :(
I know of no mods that add this, either.
