v0.31 Talk:Smoothing

Rather curiously, if I designate a muddy tile for Smoothing but don't actually enable Stone Detailing on any dwarf, a random dwarf with Cleaning will come along and clear away the mud from the tile and any surrounding tiles. Somewhat interestingly, the old 2D version behaved the same way, though that one only cleared mud from the specific tile, not any of the surrounding tiles. --Quietust 16:06, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Using up stone?

I've noticed that if I designate someone to smooth a floor that has a stone resting on top of it, the stone is no longer there once the floor is smoothed, is the stone being used in the smoothing process? – unsigned comment by Twilightdusk

No. Not sure why your stones (as opposed to boulders, which get smoothed away) are disappearing, but it's not due to the smoothing process. Probably they're getting grabbed by some other worker for some other job, like a mason or a stonecrafter. --DeMatt 06:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
