Dear god...

Cobaltite is blue. Adamantine (spoilers!) is cyan.

The Chinese have breached the Funhouse, and now they have enough candy to make Candyland.

It's microcline. China would never allow adamantine to be seen.

Fair enough. I was thinking of the unmined walls when I wrote that. In the Mayday tileset, at least, unmined cobaltite is pretty close to cyan.

Because there aren't any in this world. They'd need to re-gen, and that would mean they'd need to restart their country. Can you imagine losing all that cool history and art for easier access to space?

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.
