I would like someone to independently verify my claims on fortress wealth, imports and exports. From my experience they seem to be accurate but I would appreciate it if someone double-checked my findings.

Stone status

Current wording is a bit unclear - my fortress is in chalk cliffs and I am trying to build doors with chalk, do I need chalk to be in red or in green? Will confirm and fix the text to clarify what the screen should look like to use economic stone for mundane purposes.GarrieIrons 00:59, 1 February 2008 (EST)

All right. I have plenty of chalk lying around. I go z select Stone and change chalk from red to green. I get the message
Tobul Vucarbavast, MAson cancels Construct rock Door: Needs non-economic rock.
I toggle from green back to red, create a new job at the mason workshop, and get the same message.
I assume that if chalk is in green at the status screen I am supposed to be able to use it for "anything"?GarrieIrons 01:05, 1 February 2008 (EST)
Yes, green is usable. if your task(s) existed before the toggle, that's probably why it failed. I've ended up using economic stones many times as it was the primary stone in many cases. I'm semi-surprised that your fort didn't auto-enable chalk, as there's a function somewhere that will enable the first economic stone it finds if it's determined to be in great quantities. --Edward 18:02, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Status - Stock - Individual Item Mode

going to build a list here of all the colors for this screen, couldn't find it anywhere else, so please move it, or update it as necessary.

Colour Meaning Notes
Red Not Available basically, dwarves can't reach the item, item can also be in the Trade Depot marked as trading.
Light Grey Imported comes from outside (i.e. not built by the fortress)
Brown Home Made
Purple Forbidden

will update talk page until I think its a reasonably full list, then do some formatting and move to main page.

Kitchen status carry-over?

Let's say I forbid cooking Dwarven wine. Then let's say my dwarves drink all the Dwarven wine and I run out completely, so I brew some more. Will the status screen remember that Dwarven wine is forbidden for cooking? Gairabad 17:48, 15 November 2008 (EST)

Yes.--Maximus 19:18, 15 November 2008 (EST)
