Wood: Anything I can get my mitts on.
Metal: Iron.
Stone: Any stone that does not have a bright colour. Microcline is nice in small amounts, but unlike Tevish Szat, my young 13-year-old eyes hurt like mad when I look at large amounts of an extremely bright colour. _{No, I do NOT have epilepsy, fortunately.}

[Tevish Szat]

Really?   Maybe it's not my age but my cave computer adaption that protects me from the pain others feel at microcline, then.

Ice, man.  I LOVE ice.

If there's ever a plentiful water source on a map which freezes, the entire aboveground section of the fortress will be constructed of it, no matter how many years or how much of a pain in the neck it is to finish.

I really like nethercap, too; I routinely plow through the lower caverns with the military to clear a path for the loggers to collect as much of the stuff as possible.  The best dwarves get nethercap beds, and I replace all barrels with nethercap ones as the logs start flowing in.

It's brilliant when you manage to skip caverns 1 and 2 somehow and breach 3... I did it and didn't bother going back up, because breaching C3 only meant more nether cap (and bloodthrons for my arena floor/massively impractical danger room) from my tree farm.

Maybe. Perhaps it's my intolerance for bright light in general.

Sorry if I'm de-railing the thread. Again.

Candy, hornblende/pitchblende. Failing that, whatever the hell is handy (Though i have a soft spot for making furniture purely out of pecious metals and creating Bling Fortress)

[JoshBrickstien]

I really like steel. It's so useful. My mayor seems to like Slade though. I may need to do something about that.

I like obsidian... it's a nice non-color, worth more than most other stones and easily produced in unlimited quantities when magma and water are available. I don't like having too many multi-colored constructions and digging out lots of the same stone in quarries is somewhat annoying, so making my own stone is the most practical solution.

I also like green glass for the same reason. I usually only use it for decorations (floor mosaics, windows, greenhouse ceilings) and some furniture, though... building a whole above ground city out of glass just feels wrong unless the main theme is "Wizard of Oz".

Adamantine is fine too, but rarely used for (more or less) obvious reasons. The other cyan colored rock simply isn't a substitute.

I like marble and limestone, somehow i feel like i'm cheating if i use any other stones for constructions, metals i like bronze or brass.

The only real material ive ever struck i microline

[Muffindog]

I like microcline too, it has a really pretty colour. Limestone is my absolute number one, though. The clean, white colour and it's double value make it my favourite choice for bedroom and dining room areas.

Bloodthorn is my favorite wood. Bloody looking beds are awesome!  Beside that I like willows too, just because I like them in real life.
