Ha your microling is my orthoclase>.> I get more orthoclase that i get plump helmats...

[Umune]

Hate orthoclase, love microcline. Love cobaltite moar. For some reason I find the blue stones most appealing, including cotton candy.
However, the subject matter does tend to show up at some of the most inconveniencing or annoying positions...

[acetech09]

I found what to do with my tons of orthoclase, microcline, and cobaltite.



dwarven aquarium. - That was right before stocking it... vermin fish went in the tanks, large fishes in the glass tank.

[EveryZig]

I also always felt cheated by how Cobaltite shows up like a metal (in veins and all) but actually isn't, so I mod it to be a lightweight but low quality (a bit better than copper) metal.

What is this microline you speak of? Modding that stuff out is the first thing I do when I install a new version of DF.

[Poindexterity]

It was worse in 40d, where every 'you have struck' message paused the game and moved your focus to the miner.  Worthless stone got REALLY annoying.

OH MY GOD.
thank armok this was before i discovered the majesty of DF.

There should be some sort of mod, the Microclinicon Mod, which would automatically turn about 5% of all microcline into cotton candy. 

[plynxis]

its color is hideous, its worthless just like any other stone like it and its wikipedia page is boring.

addy has the same color, but its so good for weapons and shit thats its completely redeemable despite the hideous color

bright red and blue stones? pretty cool. bright fucking teal? go die in a magma fire

i feel like its trying to put needles in my eyes, i fucking hate it

5% is too much. 5% would mean a fort could be built out of addy before it even reaches the caverns.

0.1%?

I don't dislike microcline. I dislike that the furniture masons all insist on constructing doors of it which clash with all the walls but otherwise it's nice. I usually use it as my wall substance (because there's infinite of it so I never have to worry about half finishing a wall and running out of stone I made it of.

[Oaktree]

I used it as flooring for my tower made out of cobolite.

[lastofthelight]

I never have enough microcline. Someday I want a fortress entirely out of microcline, but I always loose interest first. I like the pretty blue color.

[Ninjamestari]

I like microline. It makes some nice light blue floors and walls.

[Tevish Szat]

I for one like microcline... when used with other microcline.  I use it for decorative constructions and sort of wish I were more savvy and could render it economic for conversion into blocks.  As it is, I take what I can get and just try to use microcline furniture next to other microcline furniture.  It certainly makes a more interesting fort than endless piles of siltstone brown (I really despise siltstone...) or whatever flavor of grey stone is most common today.

Along with the also common and horribly clashing orthoclase, as well as less common brightly colored stones like cinnabar, petrified wood, and olivine, I also like it in mechanisms.  It's nice to have the microcline lever, orthoclase lever, and so on hooked up to properly color-coded constructions.  As such my outer bridges tend to be technicolor.  Even if the bridges aren't, distinct levers is still a plus, since I tend to build lever banks.  nice to not have to check my notes that the upper-left turns off/on the mist generator while the one next to it activates the horrific death traps: instead, the BLUE one activates mist, and the RED one kills things.  Saves me a step when frantically trying to do something.
