One way to prevent this is to create a custom stockpile near your {{L|craftsdwarf's workshop}}s which accepts only marble and moonstone; craftsdwarves will use the stone closest to them and ignore more distant limestone. Another way to protect your limestone is to use it to make temporary rough rock bridges and roads; later, when you want the limestone, you can tear up the bridges and roads and reuse the stone. You can also limit your craftsdwarves to crafting dark stone only. |
