I suddenly noticed that I can cut/encrust magnetite, limonite and bitumous coal in jeweler's shop. is it a known bug or a new feature?

[slink]

Yes.   

[Replica]

Yes.   

"I have been criticaly injured and have a hard time breathing, am I going to die or is everything going to be ok?"

"Yes. "

[Blackadder]

As soon as Urist McDoctor gets back from partying, drinking, sleeping, and hauling magnetite, I'm sure he'll be able to look at that injury for you!

It's a feature - take a look at the entity raws and you see that specific shapes are permitted for cut stones and cut gems.

Yep; there was a lot of discussion when it was first discovered.  Apparently cutting/polishing stones isn't that absurd in real life, with some notable exceptions that we can't avoid yet (like chalk furniture, some stones just shouldn't be useable for certain applications).

Chalk furniture?

"Looks like Urist's had to go for a sit in the Chalk Chair of Shame! Ha ha ha!!"
"HOW COULD YOU TELL?! I HATE YOU!!"

[Loud Whispers]

The pitchblende mugs don't exactly scream good sense either

[Garath]

Yes.   

"I have been criticaly injured and have a hard time breathing, am I going to die or is everything going to be ok?"

"Yes. "

my favorite (has actually happened) was as follows:
"Ok, you know the way from here, do I go left or right?"
"Yes."

shouldn't be a surprise, since that person also always answers questions like "do you want tea or coffee" with "yes", however, it was very annoying at that point.

Sounds like this fits in with A line from west side story I noticed while sitting in the pit orchestra: tony: "I love you"
Maria: "yes"

And another that happens a lot
"nice to meet you", "I'm good thanks"

But they make good radioactive trade items. Now cinnabar pots and lead flasks, those don't make too much sense

Meanwhile, i was making lead flasks for elves, but one of them was masterwork, and a military dwarf claimed it. I Think the trope for that is "Too Dumb to Live".

That's assuming dwarves don't incorperate heavy metals into their bone structures.

I hope one day more reaccions are made for special stones so mercury can be extracted from cinnabar. I mean the ancient chinese could make a lake of pure mercury, why not dwarfs? Plus that would be one more liquid to have fun with.

"Liver too strong to die."
