now, I can understand a dwarf having a preference for adamantine, as they know about it, but seriously, a preference for SLADE?
all seven of my embark dwarfs (tried embarking in multiple locations and it's the same) all have a preference for at least one of the following:
- slade
- raw adamantine
- adamantine threads
- adamantine wafers
- "adamantine"

YAY

Restart. Or have Fun when your elected mayor will demand slade items.

Looks like bug or you have just very bad luck, every embark should have new 7 randomized dorfs.

Recently I also had a mayor who constantly demanded slade items. Easy to ignore.

Another mayor had an addiction to siege ammo and time after time I had to make 3 ballista arrows. The stockpiles were loaded with ballista arrows.

they are all randomized except for preference of at least one spoiler item.

Hi!

It seems that you have really angered your copy of Dwarf Fortress. What have you done?
Concerning your experience, it is not a phenomenon I can confirm. My first seven like only mundane things with bismuthinite in one case being the most obscure material.

Whats wrong with adamantine?

Hi!

Whats wrong with adamantine?  :-\

Currently, adamantine seems to have been improved in its qualities - resulting in it being unminable. So, no more adamantine items possible.

Change the raws and adamantine will be mineable again. It's a mistake Toady made where he accidentally made a certain material property have the same value as a certain hardcoded number (50000000) that deems Slade to be unmineable.

yes, but this is in 31.12, and adamantine is still at 4000000 and happily mineable. the issue is getting to slade.

I was responding to Deathworks.

I'm convinced dwarves all have at least legends of slade from reading paperwork. After all, there's an option to designate a stone stockpile that only accepts slade. It's a sign of respect and confidence that your mayor has no problem demanding the impossible. Blame the bookkeeper for drawing up a slade acquisition form.

my bookkeeper IS the mayor. and the medical dwarf. and the broker. and the manager. and a legendary grower. he's mandating a mix of (and i don't know why) soap, weapons, and adamantine wafers, so i don't want him to be replaced until he mandates something outright undoable. none of the slade preferers have been mayor yet.
