So I started playing Star Ruler again briefly.  I hopped on and found a few planets and grabbed them.  All planets except the homeworld have a set of attributes, usually 2, which can be good or bad.  "Vast Plains" gives a cheaper building cost.  "Sparse Ore" gives 50% mining rate.  Some attributes are pointless flavor text, however.  One in particular was "Microcline Deposits" with the tooltip of "Not this again..."

Just thought I'd share that...

I like blue though, it's my second favorite color.

I don't understand, what is so special about this mineral?

[Eagle_eye]

It's extremely common, and useless.

More specifically, in older versions of DF you got a pause and snap-focus event on every mineral, which you couldn't disable.  Microcline, being incredibly common, caused a lot of pointless pauses and zooming to pointless pieces of walls.  It's still very common and most players hate it for how shockingly blue and annoying it is, a real eyesore in ASCII, but not as much as white materials.

And here I was expecting some sort of DLC or update 

Oh well, it's always nice to see DF references.

I think the second most common of the "Pause the game" materials was Orthoclaus

But for whatever reason, Microcline garnered more hate.
