:Seconded. You make rock blocks, metal blocks, wooden blocks and glass blocks. A bunch of blocks, a pile of blocks, you name it yourself.  The game always call one unit of them as "blocks"--[[User:Dorten|Dorten]] 00:26, 4 February 2008 (EST)

my observations suggest that when marking economic stone as green, dwarves can build of it, but blocks are still ignored.

Actually the values are off. the base value of wood is 1. But a piece of wood has a value multiplier of 3. And a block a multiplier of 5. Should I add this, this might confuse newbies. --Soyweiser 10:02, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Raw value, shape modifier, resultant value? I think people can cope with that. --Matryx 10:21, 5 November 2007 (EST)
