so, recently finished up the carving of my new deep underground base, and there is an enormous amount of stone, and after hours of dumping, I've yet to even clear a portion of it, despite having 180 dwarves working around the clock.
Can I just hide all of it or will it get in the way of stockpiles/future farms?

edit: and, is there a way to get rid of nausea? All of my dwarves are nauseous and puking which causes more dwarves to get nauseous and puke which causes more dwarves to get nauseous and puke and so forth.

I think hiding things just makes them not show up when you want to look through things, but they're still there.

As for the nausea, is this happening above ground? If so, it's due to cave adaptation, not much you can do about it. otherwise I'm not experienced enough to determine the cause.

slap a mason's workshop somewhere convenient and turn them all into stone blocks.  firstly, it's a great way to train masons.  secondly, stone blocks store in stockpiles where raw stones don't.  thirdly, if you use stone blocks to make walls and floors, they look nicer, add more value to your fort and make your dwarves happier.  lastly, wha' kinn'a dwarf  yeh be ta' be tossin' out perfectly good stone.

if they are vomiting, look at their personal preferences and see why they are getting sick.  if it's because there's vomit everywhere, define some burrows and keep your dwarves away from the vomitorium.  probably they are either cave-adapted or you had some forgotten beast sneak in and now they all have a syndrome that leaves them constantly nauseous and puking.

their puking because some damn forgotten beast a couple years back with a nasty syndrome. nobody died from it, apart from a child who wanted to play "touch the forgotten beast".

and thanks for the idea about the masons shop... my last legendary mason died because he decided to be on the wrong side of the wall he was building around a tunnel.. scouted a lot of the underground for me though.

Actually, blocks store in bins. Raw stone doesn't, but is perfectly capable of being put in a stockpile.

I'm just dumping the stones via garbage piles.

I'm just dumping the stones via garbage piles.

Quantum stockpile near the masons, crafters, mechanics, and smelters. Keeps them supplied and the fortress clean.

Well, at least your Fortress is safe from Superman.
