Minecarts and stockpiles. Items no longer stack?
« on: September 11, 2012, 06:42:23 pm »

Hi folks.

So in my previous fort I have a very sophisticated cart/workshop setup that involved carts dumping into 1x1 stockpiles, and items having an infinite item limit.

I updated DF and started a new fort and have now spent days attempting to re-create a similar setup.  The problem is the carts will not dump into the stockpile.   Has something recently changed where  minecarts do not automatically dump into a stockpile, or if the stockpile needs to have available space?  Currently I have a dozen carts/rails with full minecarts sitting at stops setup to dump but the items never leave / are removed from the carts.
 
Anyone know if there was a recent change that carts that I didn't see?

Did you remember to set the dump direction when you created the stops? (Kind of "Is it plugged in?")

Sigh.  Damn that is setup when you place the stop isn't it?  Yep I'm sure that is the problem since I remember spam placing all the stops when I was setting up my factory.  I even removed / re-added stops without seeing that setting again.

Thanks man, you saved me several hours I'm sure of trying to figure out this issue.
