In pre-A9 versions you could cut up a stockpile into smaller pieces that was still treated as one unit. The color, priority, and acceptable goods were set for all the pieces at the same time, but by separating them you could allow paths through a storage/beacon area for quicker access and efficient movement.
I just tried to cut a stockpile up in A9 but when I do one of the parts (the smaller I think) disappears leaving only one smaller stockpile. I did a quick search through the Kickstater update, the changelog (since Dec 10 when A8 was released) and the forums but found no mention of this being changed or of other people noticing/experiencing/being bothered by this issue. Did I just miss it? Was this an intentional change? Or should this be moved to the bug forums?
