New stone discovery notification disable option!!!
« on: July 23, 2008, 09:21:50 pm »

In most cases, I couldn't possibly care less without hurting myself when a dwarf discovers Olivine or Alunite, at least until those stones have a practical use in the game (besides making rock stuff). I think an option to turn off notification, or at the very least the pausing of the game, upon hitting a new type of rock would be great.

Been suggested. A LOT. But, as per usual, seconded. Hey, it's suggested a lot because people really want it, right?

Or 'coz people don't read the forums before posting   ;D  But yeah, this is a much requested thing that would be beneficial.

What about an option to announce All Stone / Economic Stone / No Stone?  (Gems would count as economic, naturally)

Please implement this! Nothing is more stupid than getting a notification that I have found the same stone I have found the last 2 levels above, !again and again and again!

Seconded.

I seem to recall "finding" alunite 8 times... then that other rock that comes with it... 8 or so times.  >:(

Maybe the same style as the "make mugs outta this or not" interface (name eludes me again) as "Yes or No" so the game can bug you about finding aluminium 3 or so times but not rock salt 18 or so  :D
