As above. Microcline is a non-economic, light blue rock that is brought up nearly as often as the only *other* light blue stone in the game. I'm sure we all have an opinion on it.

Personally, I'm fer it, dagnabbit. I like the color.

[Dame de la Licorne]

I like it, but I wouldn't mind having a little less of it in favor of more of other similar (differently colored) stones.

[Capntastic]

It is a pretty rock.

[Boksi]

It's not that I don't appreciate having a variety of colors at my command, but they are quite an eyesore when used haphazardly, and the RNG is no artist by human standards.

So I'm mostly anti-microcline, but I don't completely hate it.

[Kanil]

It annoys the hell out of me, but it's microcline, how could you be anti-microcline!?!

[LegoLord]

In real life, it looks really nice.  So pro.

[Rilder]

You have struck a Microcline thread!

[Duke 2.0]

 The color scheme I use renders the blue a lighter than vanilla color, and thus does not hurt my eyes. On the contrary, it looks quite nice.

 It's Orthoclase that sucks. Even with muted colors it looks terrible.

[Rysith]

I voted anti-microcline, but I've changed it to be in small clusters rather than large and it's not nearly as annoying that way. So I'm pro-small-cluster microcline.

I love microcline. If I'm on a map with some, I'll always use it for lots of things. When I build temples to various gods in my civilization, one of them always has the light blue colour of microcline. I agree that orthoclase sucks though.

[Limul Thak]

At first, striking microcline is scary, because for a split-second you think, "OH DEAR ARMOK!" Then you realize it's only microcline.

I'm totally for it; it's the only material I've yet to find (and there's a lot of it TO find) that substitutes for that *other* cyan material.

[Duke 2.0]

 I have noticed a rather mixed reaction with microcline, but what do people think of olivine?

[Aqizzar]

Oh I love olivine.  I think dark green furniture makes the fortress tasteful.

I don't have too much of a problem with microcline, I just wish it appeared in smaller, rarer clusters.

The only stone that really chaps me is orthoclase.  Hate that stuff.

[Hectonkhyres]

If the stuff came in long, winding veins or relatively small clusters (rather than the diningroom-wide aquamarine abominations we have today) I would be fine with microcline. Having the odd streak or splotch of color livens up a fortress... but wide swaths make me feel like I have a gaping wound in my side.

Microcline is the name of the God of Waste in my personal pantheon. Every artifact mug, two tile wide underground lake, and immigrant soapmaker is a thing born of and devoted to him. Truly he is a fearsome deity, second only to Armok.

I like olivine too, but I never get any of it. When I embark, I usually get microcline.

Opinions on alunite?
