But then that's smooth walls. No civilian location outside of DoS shall have smooth walls!
Naturally, we can't use the space afterward. The important thing is just to cover up all evidence that ungrey stone ever existed. Maybe we build Potemkin villages there, then seal them off.

I want to live in a stronk, sturdy home. For! DSSR (Dorfy Soviet Socialist Republics)!
Oh. In the event of striking a non-grey stone, what should we do? Remove it and not rebuild there?
We deal with it! It os stone! We do not care what colour it is! Leave it!
We will have big place to ourselves, or we will be angry.
For Socialism!

But grey and red are only allowed building colors, Comrade. For communism, anyway. Your lot can have mind-melting combinations if you wish.

Should we make 2 v-urist tall rooms and halls? For extra impressive imposingness?

Also! I shall make a test world to see how viable 1 farm tile per dwarf is. Food shortage is fine, however I don't want half the population dropping dead of starvation semi-annually. Meat might help offset some of it...

Potemkin villages, comrade?

We shall build beautiful, elegant, high-quality rooms in the smooth areas to show off the industry and genius of the proletariat, then wall them off permanently so nobody can accidentally use them and become soft like Capitalists.

That is very capitalist comrade. Wasting resources like so.


Well, I've begun trying to gen a world with a proper working volcano in an area that will work for most authentic test possible. So far the only ones I've found on land were in a mountain without trees, and one by the ocean with salt water and aquifer. I shall prevail!!!!

For testing purposes: The Holy Arena, or The Paddle of Dominating?

I was thinking that, but The Holy Arena has most dorfs.

This seems very unnecessarily complicated, I want in. Could I be dorfed as Mottled Petrel. Preferably a guy farmer, but since everyone is farming could I be the head of the department of agriculture or something? I'd like to be in charge of the rolling famines.

I want in, name me Comrade Sanctume.

I started a fort inspired by this based the castes on a dwarf's dream. 

Dream of art are "Builders", labor related to mining, stones and mechanic.   
Dream of family are "Peasants", labor for food, leather, clothing, and wood cutters. 
Dream of masterwork are "Workers", are moodable labors. 
Dream of skill are "Comrades", forge labors, hunter (toggle) and military when weapons are available. 
There are rare "no dreams" or "ruling the world" so these would be nobles.

I was reading Kremlin wiki and it mentioned oak logs used early on, and limestones.
So I made bed, cabinet and chest from oak. 
But I found Kaolinite so every block is red.  Using limestones for making steel.

In you shall go Comrade! But all are (partially) named Comrade, so fear not about the name!

That's a very interesting idea! Have you posted it here?

I only posted the idea here. 

It kinda works out ok when I played some more. 
For migrants who arrive with military skills, they are still Builders, Peasants, Workers, and Comrades. 

They are added to the squad, and I use the training schedule, so around 6 will actively train, while 4 can do their labors. 

I look forward to hearing about the GULAG here.

p.s. No potato for me, but I am sticking with Rye beer, and Strawberry wine (for the red color), and I save an apple tree (red) and cut all others.

That idea kinda helps with the idea that the glorious state knows you better than you know yourself. Knowing just who would be best at what job to help with the expertly planned economy for maximum inefficiency.
