Dwarf fortress quantum stockpile full#

I don't use tracks at all for quantum storage (I find setting up tracks and moving minecarts around not worth the effort in 99% of storage scenarios TBH), but the method is the same for you whether you use tracks or no.ДЎ/ Build a Stop (b-C-S). This is how I build my minecart quantum stockpiles. If you're loading 'light' items of which the minecart can hold a *lot* you want the departure condition set to a lower percentage to avoid getting message spam and canceled tasks from items being inside the minecart and thus unavailable. I have 3-4 set up in my current fortress to concentrate things in the right places of the industrial complex. There are probably even more compact designs, but these are working very well for me. The Track Stop side has a stop with a departure order of 'Guide east when empty of any items' to have it moved back to the collecting side.

You then set a departure order for the stop like 'Guide west when full of desired items' to have the cart moved into the Track Stop where it will promptly dump. Cart 'desired items' (looks just like stockpile definitions) is set to get the same items as the stockpile and set to take materials from the collecting stockpile. The side next to the collecting stockpile gets a stop defined for pickup. You then designate a hauling route on the two tiles of track. It's job is to collect materials if it's heavy stuff like stone, logs, or ore I usually assign the max three wheelbarrows. On the other side I build a larger stockpile with the same settings. Set the stockpile to hold whatever you expect to dump there. You then build a 1x1 stockpile in the spot the track stop will dump onto.

One Stop is set to dump in a particular direction when constructed.

My two tile quantum dumps are a stretch of carved track 2 tiles long with Track Stops built on top of both tiles. The Stops are normally built on top of track. A 'stop' indicated on track routes is just a place where dwarves will load and unload from the cart and does not have to be a b+C+S constructed stop. When you build them you set whether or not a car arriving there will dump, and in which direction. None of these items are in bins, but they're being put into bins in the other stockpile.Yes. What am I missing? Why aren't my dwarfs respecting that these items are in a stockpile already, and putting them in another?

Most of this stuff is goblinite, so it's a lot of useless copper armor, or sometimes iron I want to melt down for making steel. Even worse, they're often removing the melt designation for a number of these items! However I'm running into a weird situation where my idiot dwarves are grabbing items out of this stockpile and moving them into bins in another stockpile, even though the items they're moving are fine where they are. In my fort I setup a quantum stockpile near my smelters for melt-designated items, and I'm moving them all there via DFHack to save time (since you can't specify melt-designated items only for hauling).
