the type of stone i most dislike is....

actually, no i dont really have one, im more of a play with what i got guy than a struggle for hours to look for a sight of the right color.

you know who cares about color? elves care about color, and we all know elves are good for nothing but bringing wood and tigermen to dwarven forts.
and then dying in magma traps for charging too much...

Gabbro. I work with it for dirty areas, as I imagine nothing would show up on it. I'm also not a fan of Claystone, but I'm ok since it's still smooth and abundant. Ideally I'd just skip to real stones - the kind that are more like the soul of dwarves and less like mud.

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.
