You do realize that once you strike the Adamantine your dwarfs will only request that for strange moods. Hope you got enough of it to make it worth your time and efforts and dwarfs.

Never heard of this - is it true?

Me neither - I've had adamantine for ages and it seems that my dwarfs have a thing for llama wool and gabbro instead.

Sometimes a moody smith explicitly states he needs "adamantine wafers". However i think it can happen any time no matter if you have it or not. Also, they seem to continue to use other metal bars sometimes despite there being wafers lying around.

I've never had a mooder demand adamantine if I don't have it and I've had mooders demand other things when I have adamantine. I guess it's just that when you discover it it is added to the list of 'moodable' materials.

I think he meant that the dorfs will always require adamantine when requiring a metal.

At least as a base component, after mining some I have never had any other metal as a base metal in moods.

Never happened to me either.  Then again, I JUST started the actual mining process...

All of my metalworking moods have had adamantine as their base item since I've refined it, but other moods haven't. In addition, for parts other than the base item, other metals will be accepted, even for metalworking moods. I'm not sure if adamantine wafers are actually considered "metal bars" as such, since I've not had anyone take adamantine for a decoration, though that could just be due to the fact that all my hundreds of metals are in one stockpile.

This. My posessed metalworker made a funobtanium flask decorated with funobtanium. The rest of them make stuff like rock grates decorated with gems.

If you manage to mine a whole level of funobtanium spire, and there is no hole in it, levels above should be perfectly safe to mine. Uhm, probably.
