damp stone
« on: October 31, 2007, 08:49:00 am »

Argh, go away, damp stone!

Does anyone know what it does?  I mine it away and nothing unusual appears to happen.  Is there a way to make my miners ignore it and just keep digging?

It just means that there's water around (ie. in one adjacent square, including on either of the adjacent z-levels). The reason the game cancels the job is in case your miners are about to tunnel into a giant underground river and flood the fortress without you knowing about it
