[Lord Shonus]

If a dwarf has a preference for a certain kind of wood, will trees of that wood count?

[smjjames]

They may also try and choose the wood they like when in a mood if that kind of wood is available. I think it can also affect how they think of an object or furniture when its decorated or made of a wood they like.

AFAIK, I don't think living trees count as I haven't seen anything that would hint at liking the trees. They aren't elves ya know.

Its probably similar to what soil type they like (they'll even like calcerous ooze, which is a deep sea soil, lol) which doesn't have any effect on their thoughts.

[XSI]

The preference for a kind of wood means they like items made from that kind of wood. Preferences for locations(Such as an obsidian preference), will make a dwarf overestimate the value of a room with walls/floors of that material, and furniture of that material, by something of 200%(?). Trees do not add any value to rooms as far as I know, so by that logic, trees do not add anything for the dwarf, but cut it down for a wooden wall and he will love it(Walls are valued at 3, block walls at 5).

Preferences also give a boost to quality levels when a dwarf works with a material he likes.
