Which will be relevant when economy is back in.  Without economy, room value is only important for nobles, for which yes, physical room material matters.  Raw stone gets a 1x value, so raw candy floor is worth 300 value per tile.  Blocks and bars get a 5x value, and so do smoothed floors and walls, so a smoothed natural, block, or bar candy floor would be worth 1,500 per tile.  Engravings get an additional modifier for skill, with 12x for masterwork, allowing an astounding 18,000 value for a masterfully engraved candy tile, which will promptly make your baron have an aneurism when Urist McLyeMaker has a more lavish living conditions lately.

This also applies to your created wealth, so siege ahoy!

Yep - after I'm done mining candy I have the leftover floor smoothed and engraved by my engraver who is +5 legendary by then for sure to boost fortress value.

Yeah I'll set something up to get easy power with no FPS loss

Yes, it's cheating, but oh well.

Also, can we get some of this info on the wiki?   Is that bit about the river flowing out needing to be on the same z-level on it?

I'll use a danger room for an initial squad for initial defense, then train them legitimately.  After that squad is done, the room is re-purposed with steel spears for an execution chamber noble suite.

All of my soldiers get trained to legendary +5 pump operators and legendary +5 miner* to improve attributes.  Then they train conventionally.

*If I have enough unmined stone that is.  Useless stone is dumped and atom smashed.  I'll try to have them dig out stone at lower skill levels and then soil at higher to cut down on the amount of stone produced.   This is after veins and all the gems I find have been extracted by my normal mining team for an area.

Brand new world.

But it's ok, the moment they attack my dwarves seem to know what to do...

You know, I was going to comment about the same thing.

I just noticed there's an engraving of a Dwarf on the crown.

It cannot be unseen.

I believe that atom smashing vampires is a bad idea due to the fact that they use fake names when they arrive as immigrants so if they come back as a ghost you won't be able to memorialize them; so you would need a body to cram in a coffin to get rid of the ghost.

OK fine, fill a pit with masterwork spoiler upright spikes, station them there with no armor and flip the lever to turn the repeater on...

known bug - but still awesome.

What's it worth?

1641600 dwarf bucks.  This is a terrible bug, but I love it.  I knew the bug occurred with forbidden items, didn't realise burrows triggered it too, though!

Yep, but that wealth is disappointing - I've had normal artifacts worth more - and had a siege arrive almost instantly after that too!

Embark with extra logs and make cage traps.  It really helps.  Yes, it's broken, but it works.
