Where I is your stockpile, and S is your minecart stop which dumps into I and also takes from it. Your current setup however looks like this: I This has also left an open space in stockpile I, which restarts the process. Since those items are in a stockpile now, and nothing takes from that stockpile, they will be left there until a dwarf needs one.

The minecart immediately dumps anything put into it south, which, just by coincidence (read in a faux innocent tone), happens to be a stockpile that accepts those types of items. Then another dwarf sees that there is a hauling route to put things from stockpile I into the minecart at S, so they do.

The way it works is that dwarves see empty spaces in stockpile I and bring the items to it. They should have different names and have been defined separately (just not part of the same rectangle you don't have to leave the stockpile tool between definitions, although you may). The S and O stockpiles must be different stockpiles. O must accept anything that will be put into the stockpile otherwise it won't hold on to them. O must not show up in the hauling route that defines the quantum stockpile. Any hauling routes that take from the quantum stockpile should take from O(stone stockpile #17). Its purpose is to store the contents of the stockpile group. The O is the output stockpile, call it stone stockpile #17. It is set to take from the I stockpile (stone stockpile #12). The S is the track stop which dumps into stockpile O(south in this case). Its purpose is to gather items for the quantum stockpile. The I area is a stockpile, call it stone stockpile #12 (for example). I will reproduce the diagram from the wiki and explain the parts. One of them collects goods to be put into the stockpile and the other is dumped into and is only present to control the use of the goods after they have been dumped. The proper arrangement uses 2 different stockpiles per quantum stockpile. In you current setup you have a minecart and stop next to a single stockpile from which it takes goods and into which it dumps goods. Some dwarves like honey bees for their busy nature, their buzzing, and their ability to organize.īees were sponsored by the generous contributions of the Bay 12 community.ĬharlesPeter donated for future honey and bee-based traps.So your problem is that you have, as you may have guessed, a small error in the construction of your quantum stockpile. They are not killed by cats, but they can fill up your refuse stockpile if dwarves are regularly stung by them. There are often tens of thousands inside mature hives. This sometimes results in the Recover Wounded task, which may actually give a good thought to the stung dwarf. They can sting a nearby dwarf or animal, resulting in the death of the bee, and causing slight pain but no negative thought for the dwarf. Their wild colonies can be transferred into artificial hives and used in the beekeeping industry producing royal jelly, honey and wax as end products. Honey bees are a type of vermin found in any area that isn't freezing, and can spawn after embark, even if not originally present. A small flying insect that lives in large colonies.
