+[[File:great_pick_preview.png|right]]A '''great pick''' is an alternative to [[pick]]s sized for large creatures. [[Troll]], [[ogre]], and [[blind cave ogre]] [[miner]]s from dark [[goblin]] [[Dark pits|pits]] can arrive in [[siege]]s wielding this [[weapon]].
 A great pick is eight times the [[Weapon#size|size]] of a standard pick - that is, it has the same internal [[Attack types|attack properties]], but hits with more force due to its size. A creature must be at least 225,000 cm³ to wield it, with [[List of creatures by adult size|some large species]] of [[animal people]] being the smallest creatures that can equip it in [[fortress mode]].

 Zones can be placed in any [[revealed tile]], including in [[open space]], over a [[river]], on top of a [[building]] or [[stockpile]], or a [[wall]]. They are placed in one of three ways: rectangular, draw, or (for some zones) multi. From within the Zones [[menu]] ({{menu icon|z}}), selecting a zone type will open the zone creation menu. From here, you can select whether to create a zone in a rectangle (at which point you click the two corners for the zone) or simply draw it (where clicking adds single squares to the zone). You can enable erasing at any time and use rectangle and draw to remove squares from the zone. The number shown indicates how many selected floor tiles can be used for that type of zone. After selecting some tiles, two numbers are shown with a plus sign (+) between; the first is the number of valid tiles already in the zone, and the second is how many would be added with the new selection or tile.
-Unlike [[stockpiles]], multiple zones can overlap.
+Unlike [[stockpiles]], multiple zones can overlap, though this can greatly reduce their value, see [[Zone#Overlapping_Rooms|below]].
-For select zone types, you can change from Paint to Multi mode, in which you can draw a rectangle over multiple rooms, and each room valid for that zone type will be a separate zone. The number shown is the number of zones created in the last rectangle drawn, and the undo button will only undo the last rectangle created.
+For zone types that require a piece of furniture, you can change from Paint to Multi mode, in which you can draw a rectangle over multiple rooms, and each room valid for that zone type will be a separate zone. The number shown is the number of zones created in the last rectangle drawn, and the undo button will only undo the last rectangle created. This will define each room from the furniture building (either built or only designated) out to the walls (including diagonally); this requires some way for the game to know where the room ends, i.e. walls all around and a way in and out, either a door, stair, or ramp. The [[DFHack]] tool <code>[https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/tools/burial.html burial]</code> can create a 1×1 tomb zone for each built coffin, without the need for walls or a door.
 Some zones can be further specified into [[location]]s after creation. To do this, first create the relevant zone, then click the Add Location button ([[File:Ui location add.png]]) to further specify it as a location. Multiple zones can be added to a single location, allowing them to span multiple rooms.

 Format:
 * [ENVIRONMENT:<class>:<inclusion type>:<frequency>]
-The inclusion type can be CLUSTER, CLUSTER_SMALL, CLUSTER_ONE, or VEIN - CLUSTERs are large ovoids that occupy their entire local map tile if present, CLUSTER_SMALL inclusions are blobs of 3-9 tiles, CLUSTER_ONE inclusions are single tiles, and VEINs are large streaks.
+Possible values for class:
 The frequency number varies from 1 to 100 and determines the relative frequency at which the stone will be chosen to appear - if all frequency values are the same, then all stones will be equally likely to appear.
 Due to an error in the raw parsing logic, having multiple ENVIRONMENT_SPEC tokens will cause the inclusion type to be parsed in ''reverse'' order compared to the stone ID and frequency values - in the vanilla raws, this causes [[native platinum]] to appear as veins within [[chromite]] and as small clusters within [[olivine]].{{bug|1429}}

 A '''zone''' is an area where your citizens will work, socialize, rest, or perform specific duties, such as [[fishing]], dumping objects, or collecting [[water]].
-Zones can be placed in any [[revealed tile]], including in [[open space]], over a [[river]], or on top of a [[building]] or [[stockpile]]. They are placed in one of three ways: rectangular, draw, or (for some zones) multi. From within the Zones [[menu]] ({{menu icon|z}}), selecting the zone type will open the zone creation menu. From here, you can select whether to create a zone in a rectangle (at which point you click the two corners for the zone) or simply draw it (where clicking adds single squares to the zone). You can enable erasing at any time and use rectangle and draw to remove squares from the zone. The number shown indicates how many selected floor tiles can be used for that type of zone.

 ===Collecting sand===
 All sustainable types of glassmaking require a [[bag]] of [[sand]]. The "Collect [[Sand]]" order at the glass furnace requires the "[[hauling#Item_hauling|item hauling]]" labor, not glassmaking (i.e. setting a custom work detail for glassmaking will not stop other dwarves from completing a collect sand task at a glass furnace). The Collect Sand order does, however, still occupy the glass furnace, preventing glassmakers from performing any other jobs there until after the collection has been completed.
-Sand for glass can only be collected from [[Zone#Sand_collection|collection zones]] placed on floors made of "[[Sand (tan)|Sand]]", "[[black sand]]", "[[red sand]]", "[[white sand]]", or "[[yellow sand]]".  Any sandy [[soil]] type with "[[Sandy loam|Loam]]" or "[[Loamy sand|Loamy]]" in it will not work for glassmaking.

 I would recommend setting this work order up in a dedicated glass furnace next to your sand collection zone so as not to interfere with glass production.

 Raw glass, especially raw green glass, is excellent practice for aspiring jewelers (and its production provides experience for [[glassmaker]]s).
