YOU HAVE STRUCK MICROWAVE!

Augh, my face! *melt*

[alway]

Microcline is nice.
Alunite I find useful in my temples (that or marble) for white surfaces. White surfaces make it so much easier to see the blood of the noble/goblin/elf/animal sacrifice. After all, I wouldn't want to make Armok strain his eyes to make sure if it is really dead or not. 
Orthoclase is pretty useless, but can liven things up a bit. After all, we need bright surfaces or I get cave adaptation...

[Gunner-Chan]

I like Microline, not as much as the wonderful red bauxite, but I do like it. I make my outer walls and towers out of it.

I wish we had more red rocks.

[Mount]

I say, construct all your external walls from alternating blocks of microcline and orthoclase (and maybe olivine...) and watch as EVERY goblin siege ends when their eyes boil right out of their pointy green heads.

I LOVE microcline, just like marble.

Why?

Lets just say its really good at showing the color of blood, Lets just keep it at that. 


Edit: YEAH!! I'm not a CrAze pers0n anymoar!!

I like it. Gives another plentiful colour for my colour-coded levers, constructions, and gearing. Which is important when you have like 15 levers and hundreds of gears and axles controlling what you're doing with magma and water, and pulling them in the wrong order could flood everything or kill hundreds.
And you have a terrible memory of what does what.

You can use [N]otes for that, but i agree with you, its just a matter of taste, some people like it, some don't. No real reason to kill it then, and if microline messes your legendary dining room's colours, so will all other rocks and ores.

The plumbing is indeed for water, I have smoothed and not yet engraved magma plumbing already set up.

It is for my well. Goes from 1 embark tile of brook, all the way across my map, to the well, to the artificial chasm (fortifications in the side of the map).  I really hope it works.

Also, Microcline!

[SolarShado]

artificial chasm (fortifications in the side of the map).

does this actually work? I haven't heard of it before...

On topic, i actually haven't come across microlone in a while, but the irritating pausing for useless stone gets old fast...

I want to take back my vote now. 

Damn blue dog comic.

I keep being told that, but it never quite triggers until the point where I have, say, 5 rhyolite levers in a room, all with one mechanism, all hooked up to the same device.

Next time it happens, I'm cutting my losses, backing up the save, and ripping out the whole assembly.

[jaked122]

I voted anti-microcline, but I've changed it to be in small clusters rather than large and it's not nearly as annoying that way. So I'm pro-small-cluster microcline.

emphasis upon the micro in mircocline

[jaked122]

the lever I use to destroy immigrants' dreams is microcline.!!!

[alway]

Ah yes, I forgot. I also use them for level color coding. Microcline level = has to do with water, cinnabar/bauxite = has to do with magma, and must be careful when pulling it, orthoclase = magma floodgate or other, which is usually (but not always) no threat to the fort.
