The Carver cuts a variable size of stone out of the ground.

The block is the size of a pyramid block at least. A cottage size block sounds good too.

The properties of the block would allow it to be smoothed and engraved unlike the brick sized blocks in the game now. They could be mined in like regular stone.

The block is limited by it's weight. It needs a solid foundation to rest on. So you must channel out the soil underneath until you hit a stone to rest on.

After setting up the foundation another block could be placed on top. Perhaps light pollution wouldn't penetrate the block unlike the past above ground buildings keeping the light even if a roof has been built.

Moving the block is tricky. It facilitates the block but isn't part of the suggestion. Any machine works plausible or implausible. A single minecart pulling a block, or a wheelbarrow. Or a new counter weighted quarry lever thing is fine.

Digging invaders may be stopped by putting 1 x 1 blocks as foundation so they would fall on digging invaders. Block can be reused so fort won't become swiss cheese.
 

How effective of an were-creature extermination could be achieved on an adventure-mode game?

I like the idea of were-creatures but i'd like to exterminate most of them. I read they generate by toppling statues, and I guess other ways so 100% isn't gonna happen.

What are some good strategies? Could I kill the god who cursed the were-creatures to free them or something like that? How can I find info to hunt them? Do were-creatures target players forts? And if so does the amount of were-creatures in the game effect the frequency of attacks or does the game decide it's time for an attack and pulls a chosen were-creature from nearby to attack?

I ask those questions because if number of were-creatures in game wouldn't change the attack rate it's not useful for fort-mode. I like the world I generated but I'd like to help it become were-creature free or as close as I can.

Is there some kind of armor combo that helps prevent dying when a fire breather shoots fire at you?

I have some dwarfs and I want to know if they are safe to release from quarantine. (They were damaged when a werebeast attacked) A full moon has passed. Should I keep them in quarantine longer? I am not sure if it takes a few months for a dwarf to become a werebeast after initial infection. I'd like to put them in the hospital.

I just reclaimed a fortress and I have a ton of stuff thats forbidden how do I claim everything?

I just mined a bunch of syvite but I cant make walls floors or doors out of it. Are there any uses for it? because it is starting to take up alot of space.

I have a friend that happens to be a girl and I want to get her something without being too romantic. This is because I am afraid I will be too assertive and push her away if I get her something that a boy would give his girlfriend. She hasn't talked to me in a few days and we haven't hung out for more than a few minutes in a couple of weeks so obviously she isn't thinking the same thing as me. But not all hope is gone I have a slight feeling she may be interested in me. I haven't attempted the whole valentines thing in a while so I forgot what to do.

The first time you tried Dwarf Fortress did you think that you were supposed to play right after worldgen? I thought that I was supposed to walk around and the X was the character and I was supposed to build a fortress in the mountains lol. I thought I was too stupid to figure out the game after spending 15 minutes on the "Accept World" screen. So I gave up and waited a few months before I tried again. I eventually got it and I am so happy. This is probably my favorite game I have ever played.
