Serious question about minecarts...
« on: July 09, 2012, 11:18:45 pm »

Ok...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So I have a food distribution set up in the img. I need to know if I have to place a stop on each individual intersection to get the dwarves to move the cart because right now they are not doing so. I have the route set up with the rules necessary to facilitate the movement of the large stockpile into the quantum stockpiles and the stockpiles are all correctly matched.

EDIT: Or do I have to make a route for each QT stockpile to take from the larger one?

Well it wasn't working at first and no you do not have to have a stop for each intersection. If you don't set the thing to Push or Ride when ther is no place for them to stand then they will not work the cars at all. They apparently use the same path-finding to get to the mine-cart destination.
