So you have already dug out everything underground?

If not, dig out some new space and smooth it. Also helps level your miners.

You all turned Swordthunders into a bastion of madness that seems to warp in on itself under its own hatred of sanity.  I'm so happy!

I wasn't aware that engravers needed training. Isn't smoothing out a few hundred rooms and hallways practice enough?
Oh you know, got to think ahead to when those engravers all die horribly and you need to train up new engravers. Unless you're willing to go out and have them smooth an entire mountain becuase your fort is already smooth, you can't train them without the magma eraser.

If you construct a floor over an engraving, then deconstruct it, you'll get rough layer stone where the engraving was.

I'm doing this systematically to all sub-masterwork engravings in my main hall.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

You should smooth the rock. Then you get more XP so you are more likely to get masterwork :))

Well... yeah. You can't get masterwork engravings (or any engravings at all) without smoothing the rock first.

My answer to just about everything is magma. In fact, most threads end up with me running in screaming it
