0009117: Game crashes when I set up quantum stockpiles to store items such as wood, stone, etc
I have had this issue happen multiple times to me, and not just with the latest release. It is highly irritating - I really want to play the game, but I don't want to have enormous storage facilities. I prefer to set up a stockpile where a minecart dumps said item onto a square, to save room. However, this always seems to create a crash.

I used to use this for multiple sorts of items (one for wood, one for each type of stone, etc), but today I only did one for stone and one for wood (the fort had just begun) and the game crashed.
I did b-C-S and designated the direction (south, in this instance). I set the stockpile to only accept from links, and I created another stockpile that would feed the minecart. I created only two today, and the game crashed.
No tags attached.

Can you make sure this is not caused by 0008719, "Building constructions over parts of trees crashes"? If it is not that, please upload your save (zipped region folder) to http://dffd.bay12games.com/ [^] so others can have a look.

Fairly sure this isn't in Adv. Mode, but don't see a way to change the category.

Here is a link to the file.
NOTE - this has happened to me multiple times, not just with the newest version of DF. I finally just decided to submit a ticket.

Does the crash occur as you're setting up the stockpiles or some time later? Does it occur if you wait for a while without setting them up?

Reminder sent to: BirdBrainf4

The save you uploaded doesn't have an active fortress in it. There are nine ruins, but the ones I checked don't seem to be ones you created. Did you upload the wrong save?

I have used minecart quantum stockpiling extensively without receiving this error.

Please enable seasonal autosaving and reproduce the problem; then upload the autosave immediately prior to the error. Thank you.

A save closer to the problem (i.e. one where the problem can be reproduced soon after loading/unpausing) would be even better.

Stale, no valid save. If someone with this issue in 0.44.10+ can upload a save to http://dffd.bay12games.com/, [^] please PM a manager on the forums to get this report reopened.
