Minecart magma filling problems
« on: February 28, 2019, 09:29:42 am »
I've never used minecarts before outside of QSP, and since the magma sea is like >90 z levels below the rest of my fort, I decided to try and use minecarts to transport magma up to my fort. I tried to use this design, but couldn't get it to work http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Magma#Design_1



The minecart just sits on the right ramp without going left up the roller. Do the ramps have to be a certain direction of track? I tried both ramps as standard b -> C -> r ramps, the left West and the right East, and both ramps West, but none of them get the minecart to travel to the roller.

A *usable* track ramp requires connections in two directions, one "down" and one "up". Try building Track/Ramp (EW) in both tiles.
