well that just makes me more determined.

EDIT: i started my new fort and tried mining my rooms but as you can see from this picture there are a load of materials there, how to i mine them? or do i need to gather them?

EDIT2: oh i see i need to make a stone stockpile.

[CapnUrist]

Stone stockpiles will only work to a point; you will end up with a LOT of stone (easily into the 5-digit area if your fortress lasts a few years), so the generally accepted method is called a quantum stockpile, which is essentially a dump zone ( press (i) for zones, set one tile of zone where you want it, then press (g) to make it a garbage dump) and dump all your stone there ((d)-(b)-(d), designate a box over your stone).

ok thanks.

does it matter that the floor of my fortress is 'sandy clay cavern' floor?

also im still having a hard time making mud to build a farm, cant make a lever yet because i dont have a mechanic

EDIT: ok seems to be working for now

You can assign a guy to labor of mechanic, and he will do the job, just not very well at first.
