We're monitoring feedback to cart behaviour closely and will decide on if and how to rework it based on that. Given the changes were big and can affect other things negatively, a change would likely be for 9.5 though, as the risk for a hotfix is too big.
In regards to the shovel, as we've communicated in the past that is intended. We once had a shovel allowing to pick up more, but it didn't feel good and out of place. The reason for why you can take more out of a stockpile is simply that there is a difference between getting dirt out of the ground vs. from a pile. It's a choice of realism, and being able to dig several dirt blocks doesn't fit the design goals of Eco. We actually had considered to make the same apply for stockpiles, but decided against it due to the fact it is indeed easier to get dirt from a pile and it didn't feel as out of place as when digging it out the ground. We know that is controversially debated in the community and thankfully there is a mod for those that do not agree with us on it. :)
