« on: May 16, 2009, 04:26:22 am »
Hello.

When miner dwarf digout tunnels he/she eat soil... )) it will be great to digout soil and make pile of in predefined zone or in front of tunnel entrance. It is good for making ground walls, base for any on-ground construstion and give ability to fill pits, trench, block passges, flood rivers and etc.

I agree and disagree.

I don't want to have piles of {loamy sand} sitting around my fortress and being useful. However if we could extend that and use piles of sand as well as sand collected in order to make glass, it sounds slightly feasible.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Yes. But i see it like portion of realism and lot of building materials. Many fortifications was made of soil and such as sand! )

Once upon a time i play in DF first time and was disappointed by hours of dumping stones in river to block it. )))
