− | Raw '''stone''' is left behind about | + | Raw '''stone''' is left behind about half of the time when your miners dig out walls. Over the course of the game, your miners will produce thousands of stones. Creating small stone [[stockpile]]s next to stone-using [[workshop]]s (such as [[Mason's workshop]]s) will speed their production, but creating enormous stockpiles to hold every stone you mine can be counterproductive. However, many prefer to do this, because stone lying around everywhere interferes with other stockpiles, and is just plain ugly. |
You can also find alternative methods to clear away stone. You can build Mason's workshops in the middle of the stone piles. This clears away the piles more efficiently (though not as fast), while training your masons and producing whatever stone items you need. Or, you can build Catapults near the stone piles, clearing them away and training valuable Siege Operators in the process. Go ahead and be creative in your clearing methods. | You can also find alternative methods to clear away stone. You can build Mason's workshops in the middle of the stone piles.

One (or more?) randomly-selected type of stone will be completely absent from each fortress, with the other types available in variable quantities. Each of the three types of light and dark stone will always be found, in limited quantities. |

Raw stone can also be chiseled into [[block]]s at a [[Mason's workshop]], which can then be used instead of rough stone for the construction of workshops and other [[building]]s. | Raw stone can also be chiseled into [[block]]s at a [[Mason's workshop]], which can then be used instead of rough stone for the construction of workshops and other [[building]]s. | ||
