− | + | * In basic terms, the game checks if there is a valid path for a cart along the rails to reach the next stop in the route, and whether a dwarf ''guiding'' a cart would be able to find a path to the destination without carrying the cart. This warning pops up if the cart can't find a valid path based upon guided carts. | |
− | + | ** If your cart path relies upon advanced tricks like deliberate falling into pits or ignoring floor types, even a path designed entirely as you intended will still trigger the yellow warning. (But double-check to make sure it's fine...) | |
− | + | * The departure direction of the stop might be invalid. Edit the stop using {{k|Enter}} and press{{k|d}} until it is pointing in a valid direction. | |
− | + | * The track stop might not be built on top of a track. The track stop must be deconstructed to remedy this issue. | |
− | + | * Your track might not be built correctly. Make sure all connected tracks between destinations are not one-way tracks. | |
− | + | ** This can be especially confusing with ramps. To carve a two-way track on a (natural) ramp, you must designate the ramp <b>and one square beyond</b> in the direction you want the track to go. | |
− | + | ** Ramps '''must''' have a solid block on the side opposite to the track, or they will neither work nor be marked as "unusable". The solid block can be natural or constructed. | |
− | + | * The desired/kept items might not be configured correctly. | |

− | + | * The stop may not be set to take from a stockpile. Edit the Stop using {{k|Enter}} and make sure you see a message like "Take from Stockpile #1". | |
− | + | * The take conditions must correspond with the contents of the stockpile. | |
− | + | * The track stop may be set to dump. A track stop set to dump cannot be filled. You must either set the stop to a time-based departure or deconstruct the track stop and rebuild it without dumping. (Alternatively, with [[DFHack]] you can modify "Dump on arrival" to "No" using the {{key|q}} menu without rebuilding the stop.) | |
− | + | * Make sure the minecart itself has not been designated to be dumped (such as when using mass-dump). | |
'''Symptom:''' Dwarves fill the minecart properly, but will not move it thereafter. | '''Symptom:''' Dwarves fill the minecart properly, but will not move it thereafter. | ||
− | + | '''Possible Causes:''' | |
− | + | * The minecart may contain items which are not included in its current stop's desired items. Check inside the minecart using the {{key|k}} and {{key|z}} keys and ensure that all items in the cart are desired items. | |
− | + | * The minecart may contain desired items in bins. Minecarts seem to have problems realizing that they are in fact full of desired items if some of those items are in bins, even if bins are also among the desired items for that stop. '''This cannot be solved by adding the appropriate bins to the stop's desired items.''' Either disallow bins in stockpiles you intend to load minecarts from, or set the departure conditions to rely only on percentage of total load rather than percentage of desired items using the advanced conditions menu ({{key|C}} key). | |
'''Symptom:''' Dwarves repeatedly attempt to load the minecart, but no items are ever loaded into it. | '''Symptom:''' Dwarves repeatedly attempt to load the minecart, but no items are ever loaded into it. | ||
− | + | '''Possible Causes:''' | |
− | + | * This can be caused by using a Track Stop with autodumping enabled at a loading site. Every time a dwarf places an item into a cart resting on such a track stop, the item will be immediately dumped, causing unlimited, useless cart loading jobs. Autodumping Track Stops should never be used at a loading site. | |
