Alright..  Perhaps this is going to be one of those 'you -just- figured that out?' sort of statements, but I'm still happy to learn it..

Did you know you can control what materials dwarves use in their artifacts by forbidding the stuff, even while it's in the workshop?   I always knew that you could forbid certain things in stockpiles or whatever, and dwarves would not use those forbidden objects.  What I didn't know is that even after he's dragged it to his workshop, if you can catch it while he's still gathering other supplies and forbid it, he'll give up on it and find another.  No more copper rock-crystal and more copper embedded swords for me..

Back in 40d, you could forbid the items while in the workshop and then unforbid them again in order to make a more exciting artifact.  I haven't tried it in 31 yet, because I'm producing way too much wealth anyway, so I don't know if it still works.

I tend not to do this anyway, unless I've already got the stuff forbidden (like gems).  Moods are supposed to be the innermost expression of a dwarf's dwarfiness, of their individuality, and so they should use what they want to use, I think.

And yeah, this is one of those "you JUST figured this out?" topics, but no worries; People don't talk about the old stuff much!

For me, dorfs in mood should ignore any of these things. Ignore burrows, forbid designations, alerts etc. Not only this is fitting for whole "dwarf mood" concept, this will prevent all Planepacked-type bugs.

Amazingly I didn't know about this one.

Search it on the wiki. I cannot explain sufficiently.

I wasn't aware the words 'prevent'..... (making sure of a new sentence - in fact, here's another .) The word 'planepacked' could actually occupy the same sentence.  I'm pretty sure, based on the complex mathematics I performed after reading that sentence, the moment you typed that statement a star deep in space turned into a cat, and began devouring other stars. 

Today's new lesson, I guess.

Yes, Planepacked is just plain packed.

I may have to sig that.

Oh lord.

I'd sig that, but then I'd hate myself for subjecting the rest of the forum to that pun.

I take offense to that... comment. 

Prevent Planepacked. Prevent Planepacked. Prevent Planepacked. Prevent Planepacked. Prevent Planepacked.

Any more questions?

...You mean the D-B menu is the mass dump menu?

Being serious, I didn't know this either.

I'm not the first to make that pun.

You can also change the nature of what they make my savescumming the moment they claim the workshop, while the game is still paused. Doesn't always work though.
