Think about the steps that would be required to load it. It doesn't sound more convenient to me, unless you find a one-time "time investment" of making six wheelbarrows (or 10 for a wagon iirc) is more than all the extra clicks you need for loading and dumping the same wheelbarrow over and over again: grab stockpile, lift wb, dump wb into "cart," drop wb, repeat. You're adding two extra clicks into the process per stockpile to save on the relatively low cost of making extra wheelbarrows. So @Lunarius... it should probably be cheaper than a wagon if it carried the same number of loads?
I can't think of a practical way of using this without adding multiple clicks per cart load. Correct me if I'm wrong or if you have a better procedure in mind where people would use this over just making more wheelbarrows.
You've definitely nailed the core annoyance with these issues for me, repetition of wheelbarrow interactions. It would be great if we could just load stockpiles into wagons/carts, and the stockpile occupies an item slot. Then you just bring 1 wheelbarrow with you instead of 20 per wagon, load up all your stockpiles at the destination and unload them on the return.
Edit: so while operating a wheelbarrow, you can just RMB the stockpile into the wagon directly, do this for 19 stockpiles, then toss the wheelbarrow in. Instead of unloading 20 wheelbarrows, picking up the stockpile, picking up the wheelbarrow, putting the wheelbarrow back in (20 times), then repeating for the unload.
