− | After a natural stone surface is smoothed, it may be further improved by [[engraving]]. This increases the room's value, but, unlike smoothing, engraving has quality levels. A wall can only be engraved once (for floors, there is a [[Engraving#Removal|workaround]]). Using only skilled [[engraver]]s will result in higher room and fortress values. | + | After a natural stone surface is smoothed, it may be further improved by [[engraving]]. This increases the room's value, but, unlike smoothing, engraving has quality levels. A wall can only be engraved once (for floors, there is a [[DF2014:Engraving#Removal|workaround]]). Using only skilled [[engraver]]s will result in higher room and fortress values. One way to achieve this is to have a limited number of dwarves with the [[engraver|stone engraving]] labour active smooth large areas of the fortress until the dwarves are experienced, then, have those same dwarves engrave. The result will be [[Legendary|high-quality]] engravings. |
Smoothed walls are also a prerequisite for carving [[fortification]]s. Engraved walls can also be carved into fortifications, but the engravings will be destroyed in the process. | Smoothed walls are also a prerequisite for carving [[fortification]]s.
