Hi all. Longtime lurker, now with question about dwarf preferences and the [SPECIAL] tag.
Looking back, I see that someone asked about what the [SPECIAL] tag does. The answer was that it makes whatever has that tag unavailable to the civilization even if it can otherwise produce it, thus making it not show up in merchants' inventories, without the additional complications involved with the [DEEP_SPECIAL] tag.
So.
1) Does anyone know or can anyone confirm whether [SPECIAL] affects whether the item shows up in dwarf preferences?
2) What sorts of items do not show up in dwarf preferences, and are therefore good for intermediate products and weird shit? I don't think I've seen tools and toys, but I'm not sure.
Thank you, thank you very much.
