Quite by accident, I discovered that minecarts now DO accept full barrels pots and bins. I think the entire drawbacks section no longer applies, although I want to test further before zorching it. --DracMonster (talk) 03:56, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
- Minecart acceptance was never the problem. Barrels, bins, etc. are assigned to a specific stockpile (the input stockpile), and, if quantum-dumped to a second stockpile, remain assigned to the first, blocking the first pile from accepting other assigned containers and triggering dwarves to return the errant containers to their proper stockpile. Thus to store 100 barrels you'd need a 100-tile input pile, and at that point the addition of a "quantum" stockpile only causes infinite hauling job spam.--Loci (talk) 14:29, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
- Huh. I seem to recall dwarves wouldn't load full barrels and pots onto minecarts at all, but maybe I was mistaken. At any rate, yeah they still remove them from the one-tile pile. Oh well. --DracMonster (talk) 23:38, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
