How do I make my stonecrafter use obsidian?
« on: March 01, 2009, 09:54:29 pm »

In the newest version my stonecrafter keeps spamming "need non economic stone" even though I have lots of obsidian thats not forbidden and he made lots a bauxite crafts just fine. The stockpiles menu classifys obsidian as a normal stone.

Look at the "stone" menu instead of "stocks."  Make sure obsidian is marked as green.

And this is how tinned food was invented.
Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Well, also you need to make a stockpile near him (not for short swords) or he would use only nearest stones (Z level also counts).

Or he could use This mod - it adds a reaction that doesn't do anything, but makes all stone economic, so you can toggle the use of any and every stone type on or off in the Z->Stone menu.

It is, in my not so humble opinion, the best mod I have ever seen.
