IMO a perfectly reasonable necro.
The problem with necros is that they can dredge up out of date information, and if someone isn't paying attention they may think that it's current information.
For example, in this thread Quietust complains about coal now being useless, however he made that statement prior to the boost in coke production from bituminous coal and lignite. This kind of thing can confuse people unnecessarily, and is why you should try to avoid necros like this.
True, but hopefully they could continue reading, and get to say your post, and realize it's no longer the case. After all, I almost never use the coke from rocks, I never find any. EVER. So I have to rely on magma/coal. However, even with the latest version, I find the same problem in that I have a super small amount of coal, and maybe 5 flux stones. I can't reply on steel at all, unless I import some steel stuff and melt it down. I don't understand how I'm supposed to outfit 2 full groups of soldiers with steel equipment when I barely have the resources to make half-group's worth of steel items. I don't use DFhack or mess with the raws to make anything drop more stone, I play vanilla all the way.
Edit: Also, just to annoy Garath, I might have to hunt down the board's oldest post and necro it. Necro it hard. All night long.
