Let us know how many charred/melted/torn-to-shreds/generally brutally mutilated dwarven remains you end up with.

I have a few least favorite stones.

Starting with orthoclase. For some reason, that damn yellow block of uselessness just gets on my nerves whenever I find it. I guess because it has the same color as gold, but absolutely nowhere near the options.

Second is microcline. Same issue as orthoclase; it has the same color as candy. It annoys the crap out of me that such a holy of metals has any similarity to a simple rock that you can find three steps below the surface.

And finally, although it isn't really a stone; peat. Whenever I see the word peat, I legitimately feel sick. Not sick like I was looking an elf conspirator in the face, but sick like I just caught the flu. No idea why, either. I have nothing wrong with peat, other than its obvious lack of purpose, but the name is just highly disturbing to me.

but the system was BAD ASS 10 years ago.

After 10 years, computers are basically Egyptian hieroglyphics. Soon you'll be able to use it to translate ten thousand year old cave drawings.

Candy shields are definitely not worth making in my opinion. True, they block just as well as any other material and they weigh far less, but when the user shield bashes it'd be like they're smacking the other person over the head with an empty pillowcase.

Dwarven Rule #7: No matter how bad life gets, even if you witnessed your wife go mad and murder your children while a Beast ripped off your legs, a legendary dining room will make you feel better. Especially if there's a waterfall in it.

Dwarven Rule #12 -- If something needs to be built/talked to/stored/moved/closed/opened RIGHT NOW ... the dwarf assigned the task will invariable go on break/take a nap/get lunch then take a nap/get a drink, lunch and a nap.

^Correct numbering. That's my OCD kicking in, apologies. 


Dwarven Rule #13: Never try to buy all the candy from the circus. Doing so will result in the clowns tearing you, your family, and everyone you have ever known, a brand new booze-hole.

I'd suggest modding dwarven babies to mature much faster than the default, otherwise those little brats will end up in the magma pipe.

You could dig out an entire dirt layer below the surface. As long as you leave the very last tile on the edges un-dug and ensure that any openings to the surface are roofed over, you'll be completely safe.
