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)

but the difference is purely in the value

My observations suggest that when marking economic stone as green, dwarves can build of it, but blocks are still ignored. Hellzon or irc said blocks can only be used to build buildings, wells and pumps. So that would make the above statement false. --Mizipzor 12:47, 9 November 2007 (EST)

You can build walls and buildings out of blocks and stone (some buildings require blocks) but I don't think you can craft blocks. --Penguinofhonor 15:19, 15 December 2007 (EST)

This doesn't apply to blocks made out of metals.

Why is that? in my experience it's working just fine (golden blocks worth 150, copper blocks worth 10... just as they should)--Dorten 00:26, 4 February 2008 (EST)

Naming

Does "block" ever occur in the singular in Dwarf Fortress? I think block should redirect to blocks, rather than vice versa. --JT 13:31, 8 November 2007 (EST)

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"--Dorten 00:26, 4 February 2008 (EST)
Rule N says that it should be called "Block," and is there really any actual problem with it? Not doing it, on the other hand, could confuse wiki-newbies. --Savok 10:26, 4 February 2008 (EST)

Construction

Does making a construction out of blocks instead of raw stone allow the construction to go faster? (I'm thinking along the lines that it's easier to work with bricks and mortar than raw stone and mortar) Fephisto 22:39, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

i dont know, it should, you would think, but mabey the time makeing the blosk is greater than the time saved?
