Underground Livestock{unsolved}[Quantum Stockpiles w/Minecart {solved, I think}]
« on: November 08, 2014, 08:54:01 am »
Also, I found a place covered with peat underground, which I thought would feed livestock, but they all started starving when I moved them there...

-

I'm hoping someone can find the error in my steps when trying to make a Quantum Stockpile [QS]:
1) create Track Stop [TS] with the dump facing where I want the QS
2) make a one square stockpile to be dumped to
3) make larger stockpile on other side (tried 3 and 6 squares, both with three wheelbarrows)
4) set "take" and "give" stockpiles to the TS after removing the three items that are automatically in the TS
5) give a minecart to the TS
6) do the same steps for the other 2-3 TS to dump into the QS

I think maybe I can't do the multiple TS dumping into one DQ? Or maybe the minecarts are linked to a particular skill?

If not, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

EDIT: Seems I'm an idiot and forgot to state which items could be taken and given by the TS. I believe I'd thought it would default to everything if you didn't set it...  :-[

You don't need give links in the TS. You do need settings in the route stop about what to take from the take links.

Peat is just another form of dirt. I've never seen any mammals feeding of dirt.
When you breach the caverns, moss start to spread over peat, which animals can graze

Oh...  :-[

The tileset hat it green and where I come from there is "peat moss" so... Yeah. My bad. I'll wait and see if moss grows.

2: You have to make sure the stockpile is set to "take from links only".

I don't understand why you'd want to have several TS dumping into the same QS, though. It's easier to have one and then give it multiple stockpile links (and, of course, the compound item selection for the minecart).

Being ignorant is not the same as being stupid. You're an idiot when you fail to learn...

To create underground farms you first need to breach the first cavern layer. It then allows moss and mushrooms to start growing on underground soil.
I'm not sure if it does it for peat, but moss will grow on clay. Or you can also just use water to irrigate land to create mud and moss will grow from that.
Then you can just make a pasture from there.
