Shells in Minecart?
« on: November 12, 2017, 12:08:17 pm »

Anyone know if it's possible to transport mussel shells by minecart?  I have it set up to accept all items from the nearby shell stockpile.  The stockpile is full of shells, but not a single one gets loaded.  I added the option to include food, and they load it full of fish just fine.  So I think maybe refuse isn't allowed in minecarts?

The only shells I know I've got trouble with are shells from FBs (as well as some other FB parts), but I suspect that's because those might be too big to fit into the cart. Otherwise my Minecart Quantum Refuse Stockpile works just fine. I don't usually have many shells, though (usually no fishing enabled). However, shells fall into the "refuse" category, not food. I'd check the route stop configuration to verify that refuse is indeed accepted. However, mixing food and refuse is only recommended if you want to destroy the food (and have neither magma to dump it into, nor a bridge to smash it with).
