Stone restrictions?
« on: May 20, 2010, 01:34:56 am »

Hi everyone!

So basically I'm trying to understand my Z status screen, and for the life of me I can't figure out what the Stone Restrictions screen does. The wiki wasn't any help either.

Can anyone give me a quick example of what it does?

Thanks!

Items on the left side list marked in red are reserved for the tasks listed when you select them. Items in green can be used in anything that accepts rock.

For instance adamantine is by default in red. It's listed allowed tasks are "sharp blades" and "extract strands". Normally you couldn't use it for any other tasks. However if you toggle it to green you can now for instance make bloccks out of it at a masons. I used this in fact to make an all adamantine well. Adamantine block, bucket, mechanism, and chain. The bucket and chain were made at a forge out of processed bars in the normal manner. However in order to allow the adamantine to be used like stone I toggled it green and made a "rock" mechanism and block out of unprocessed raw ore.
