I tend to build my entire economy around steel by mid-game. I especially love it when one of my founder dwarves "like steel," and I make them into my weapon/armor smith. It's indispensable for armor and weapons, and if you make steel serrated blades, you'll have some of the most powerful trap weapons in the game that will also insanely increase the value of a room and can be sold of large quantities of just about anything you'd want.I build my economy around gold. Gold tables, gold statues, even gold sarcophigi. All steel goes into armor and weaponry.
You need a graveyard pile, not a refuse pile.
I usually do a First Come First Serve deal where I dig ~100 3x3 rooms and the people late to the fortress get to sleep in the dormitory.
