{Well that's annoying. As long as you don't act on stuff in-character it's fine.}

{Oxygen-hydrogen refinement is already available, by the way. You can make it better if you want, but the current systems can fulfill significant demand. If you want to start producing large numbers of full-on zeppelins what you have might struggle, but it's fine for cutting torches and small-number airship production.}

The striated ore is already being treated carefully. Evidently the Dwarves know of this stone, and consider it hazardous for some parts of it react badly to heat.

The Goblin Priest offers his advice, but notes wryly that his knowing is of a rather different sort than the knowing of the Dwarf Stonetalkers or the White Priests of Man, either of whom the Mountainhome would surely prefer to Goblin words.

Ask the miners what kind of striated ore it is, or is there only one kind, and in specific, what it is in the first place. Sketch designs for blast furnaces

Let the engineers work on tools on their own for a bit. Devote more time into studying runes and look into the major deities of the world.

"All knowing is good knowing, so long as it's correct knowing, in my opinion.

Yes, I daresay there might be, why do...Have you been doing what I've been doing?  How have you been doing what I've been doing?

And it's either Net or Fish, please."

Let's just...Run a scan on chaotic skies, shall we?

Think about a system of vents from the cavern to the surface to remove smoke. "With all this industry, we're gonna need something to remove smoke. Perhaps vents?"

Also, keep scanning the book, especially for something that could speed mining.

{Not able to update right now, but for Moony: The miners don't know what the ore's got in it, it's just a medley of rocks twisted together, most of which might be refined into things. You can run analysis.  For Gwolfski: There is a system of vents in place for the fortress. It is not connected to the caverns, because the caverns are usually considered large enough for ventillation not to matter. However, the air quality down there is becoming poor, and the ventillation shafts in the fortress itself are of abjectly poor quality and not large enough to fulfill their tasks at any rate}

Say, how feasible would a magical, technological, and magitech (respectively) drill be?  Perhaps one that could be operated by a familiar.

{Pure magic is probably inefficient, but if you want an etheric construct of Stone Shattering, you can totally do that. Technological is not something you have the blueprints for to build right now, but should be pretty easy depending on what you want, and magitech would probably consist of upgrading a techdrill to some extent.}
