Hey all,

So returning to DF I decided to try some more advanced stuff...like minecarts and quantum stockpiles.

So I set the quantum stockpile (stockpile giving to minetruck dumping into the quantum stockpile). Only problem is...the little imbeciles keep moving stuff from the 1x1 stockpile to the normal stockpile! How do I stop them from schlepping around moving items in an endless loop?

Set the small one to take from links only, that will stop them from looping around. I don't usually run into the loop problem, but it has happened.

Just for my understanding: why would that help? The issue is that the small one loops by giving to the big one, I don't get why setting it to take from links only would help.

Also set max bins/barrels to 0 on the stockpiles in question.  Dwarves will often screw around with bins when you don't want them to, conceivably even taking stuff from the Q.S. to store in a bin in the other stockpile, leading to a loop.
