It'd be neat if we could use rough gems as building materials, e.g. if I wanted to construct my trade depot out of rough onyxes. Probably not a good idea to make them auto-usable by workshops; perhaps put discovered rough gems under the economic stones list?

[Lazer Bomb]

I don't think 3 small gemstones can make a depot, it would have to be multiplied by 3 to make it realistic (example 9 onyxes to make a depot).

Wholly agreed with both the idea to make stuff out of rough gems and with the requirement to use three inputs (as long as each contributes full value, of course).

[Capntastic]

Doesn't it take a bunch of gems just to make a window?   Something like 3 or 9 already?

[Derakon]

Those are cut gems, not rough ones. The mass of rough gems is comparable to the mass of ordinary rock, which is why I figured they could be used as-is without a multiplier on how many you need. It would also be neat to be able to use cut gems as building materials; in that cases, yes, a multiplier would be in order.

[Magnusian]

Perhaps instead of rough gems, let us use large cut gems as a building material. It would finally give them a use other than as a trade good.
