You have found (metal)
« on: October 29, 2007, 10:41:00 pm »
After finding a type of metal, I believe that you have to actually mine it to stop getting the message that says you've found it. I've found magnetite three times in the same game, but I've just been building stairs on top of them. Not sure if that counts as mining or not.

Sorry, just now noticed the "tick-sized" bug thread. This should be there.

Just mine it. It doesn't screw up your fortress design anymore, since you can just rewall.

Not a game-breaking bug, but the messages don't stop if you mine them, either. Nice feature, though. Pauses the game so I can get to building my next set of stairs right away.

Also, you can engrave the metal wall if you don't feel like rewalling.

I *think* it might be a new message per Z level, though it might be per-vein... not sure

I think its per vein.  It happens with light and dark stone too.
