What to do with stones

Here's an idea: Designate them for smashing! And dwarf with a hammer will smash em up, increasing their skill with war hammers.

This has been suggested a few times, especially in recent threads.

I always like the "make stuff out of rock" route, though.

This could possibly become related to the whole metal-making process, because it could help get the rock out of the ore.

Mining out wall should fill it with rocks and noone should be able to move there before it is moved out.

That means we'll need wagons and packanimals too

I've suggested, several times, the ability to build roads onto the world map. To link a fort with the nearest dwarf or human road network. This would take roughly  900 to 1500 stones or blocks per regional square for a 3 wide road. Wider roads would require even more. Horizontal or vertical roads are the lower end value while diagonals are the higher.

I would hate this.  It turns the hauling problem into a hauling NIGHTMARE.

I don't want to see this until the problem of stone littering the fortress and can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
