I just cut a huge chunk out of a tunnel and there was barely a 1/4th of it that remained as boulders did Toady nerf mining?

[ledgekindred]

Yes and no.  You only get boulders/ore 25% of the time now, but each boulder gets turned into four blocks and each ore gets turned into four bars, more or less balancing things back out.

Mining was too OP, maps were always imba Dwarves. Now we just need to get Toady to nerf Kobolds.

Oh i usually never make blocks

[Laurin]

You should. If you want to construct lots of things. Hauling stones is very slow now, so you want your mason to hurry on with only carrying a block.

You might as well, you get more use out of your stone and it makes dwarves get happy thoughts from the more valuable buildings or it just increases the architectural worth of the fort.  Plus they are lighter so it will speed up any construction projects now that hauling has been tweaked.

It always bothered me that you cant carve placed blocks that's one of the reasons I never made them....

On a totally other topic... I need to learn how to make burrows... they're all dead why.... WHY!!!!!

Well I would rather have smooth placed things than rough placed things...

Being able to engrave blocks would probably make me have a heart attack from excitement.

...damn, I need to play some other games.

You get less flux and fuel though.

Since 31.xx I have had one map with fuel on it so I am used to utilizing charcoal extensively.  My forts tend to die to ADD before I get a steel industry roaring sadly.

Unless you make a bunch of stone crafts -- or doors, or coffers, or cabinets, or tables, or thrones, or....

Make my freaking morning. <3

Coal gets turned into 9 coke now.

[Sutremaine]

It should be 12, since you need 4x as much from smelting to match the 1/4 you get from mining. Regular smelters are more efficient now because you need to put less of your produced fuel into making more, but with magma smelters you're definitely getting less fuel from a vein.

Wut.  This would be amazing IF I COULD EVER FIND FUEL.
