Can't build with alunite?
« on: January 30, 2009, 01:14:02 am »

So, I just started my second fortress, and my dorfs dig straight into an alunite cluster.   I've got my masonry workshop and my mechanics workshop set up so I can get rolling right away.

... and I discover that though there are a bunch of alunite stones sitting around, my dorfs won't build anything out of them.   I try to order a workshop and it refuses, saying "needs non-economic stone".

I got the workshops built with a little nearby basalt, and then go to order some rock mechanisms, but the order gets cancelled because there's no suitable material.

That's weird - doesn't alunite count as rock?  I have tons of it sitting around from digging my first tunnel.

Thanks!

I can think of 2 possibilities:
1) the stones are forbidden, tho i can't think of how this could have happened without you knowing
2) a mod has made alunite economic, to fix this go under the 'z' menu->stones and make sure alunite is green

Mayday's set has a mod that makes all stones economic

Is it just me or is his pack getting worse and worse over time? All the new tiles look terrible
