Is defaming artwork common?
One of my engravers drew my mayor, surrounded by the thing he hates most: slugs. I can't shake the feeling that this is meant as some form of insult; a form of rebellion against the government. My question is: Do you get drawings like these?--Guardian of Silverybearded (talk) 09:37, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
"Floor removal reverts floor to layer"
I just don't like the "converted" phrase, because that's an utterly obsolete holdover from 0.34, where mining produced gemstone and precious ore floors. These tiles are already converted to layer type by mining, making the remaining cases of build/remove floor conversion a very specific issue.
While looking at another way to create non-layer floors (ice casting), i found that prettied-up ice floor appears to be immune to reset through building/removal. --Larix (talk) 20:44, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
