+ | The v50 Jeweler's Workshop comes with a general "Cut Gem" job that by default will use any rough gem a jeweler can find. After the job has been created the gem type can be specified by modifying the job, in the [[Premium version]] this can be done by clicking on the magnifying glass icon and selecting the rough gem type here. [[DFHack]] is no longer needed for proper automation of gem cutting. On the other hand, it will be more difficult to cut anything but a specific type of gem, most often [[rock crystal]], which is needed for [[glass|crystal glass]] production. The easiest way to do this is to use a linked [[stockpile]] that does not accept the gem type you want to preserve. | ||
