Sorry for the flurry of n00b questions.  This should be the last one for today.

We've all had it happen.  You're fighting a goblin ambush or something and then suddenly the view centers on your miners digging deep beneath the earth, as they proudly announce the discovery of orthoclase or microcline.

And...big deal.

Is there a way I can make it so it only announces the discovery of ores and gems?

As far as I know just by removing them.  The game hasn't yet been taught to know the difference between valuable rock clusters and worthless rock clusters.

there is something you can do, i dont know what it is exactly but ask over in the modding section and they could tell you.

Try using the utility Just Dig it Out. I'm not sure if it's currently up to date or if it works for rock strikes, though. But it can prevent wet\warm stone from causing a notification.

This is the specific problem. To go into a little more detail: The game will give you a notification any time it strikes a vein or cluster - period. Anything that could suppress the messages for worthless stone is all too likely to do so for metal ores(though I think not site features or HFS, which actually spawn a pop-up message).

I don't think JustdigItOut will work, that's only for damp stone and warm stone.

Dtil has a "Vein Helper" utility that does exactly what you want, though I'm not sure if it's available for the newer releases of DF.
