Butcher Table issue
I'm trying to get a roller setup for the butcher table that will serve up a fresh corpse and transport the resulting meat back to the fridge and the leather to a different stockpile. I mostly got this working. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/zaMzN0b.jpg

I'll explain what I'm currently doing. One of the problems I had to deal with initially was that the goods from butchering seem to just be placed haphazardly in the general area, so I couldn't make a dependable system like the stove where it's always dropped behind. So I created an empty stockpile (nothing allowed) in the butcher area, and then I have a puller pulling meat into the fridge, and a puller pulling leathers into a stockroom. This works great as long as there is a steady supply of corpses.

However, once the last available corpse is butchered, some leather or meat always ends up getting placed on the corpse stockpile, so it won't get pulled. Someone has to come haul the blockage before normal usage can resume. Is there a better solution here that is more automated?

Hey, really nice looking setup you got there!
there are few things you can do to solve this problem:
1st and most obvious solution would be to just modify the butcher job and change it from "Drop on floor" to "Take to best stockpile". that will make the butcher drop the products on the stockpile.
2nd option is to just merge that corpse stockpile with the products stockpile. since the products gets pulled right away anyway youll end up only having corpse there.
3rd option is to use some storage building as your corpse stockpile, like that fridge you have or any other storage mod. since its a storage structure the pusher will be able to put the corpse in there but the table shouldnt drop products in there.

ps, the turn rollers you have right after the Pullers who bring veggy and meat to the stove can be turned to the other side so they merge with the cooked meal rail system. that will save you some belts.

1st option worked great, thanks!

One thing that confuses me is how the normal rollers seem content to push the extra meat and veggie resources back in the freezer stockpile area, but if you look at my setup for delivering meals, I had to use a pusher there for that to work, as a normal wall roller would get the meals stuck on the roller rather than push it in the 2x1 refrigerator storage. Is this somehow related to "storage items" rather than "storage areas"?

yep, as a small balancing act and to better separate pushers from just rollers it was decided that only pushers can place items inside storage containers
