For example, a [[mechanic]] that likes olivine will generally make better [[olivine]] mechanisms than [[granite]] ones. This is most important during [[embark]], when individual personality profiles and skills can be best matched up according to your specifications. |
For example, make the dwarf that likes [[bed]]s your [[carpenter]] and the dwarf that likes gold your [[blacksmith]].

This problem can be avoided by carefully selecting the statue that is going to be built by e{{k|x}}panding the material selection menu. | ||

+ | This phenomenon is particularly important when choosing an [[engraver]]: although rare, some dwarves '''like''' types of [[vermin]] that others detest, which can result in things like your rat-phobic [[mayor]]'s [[office]] being filled with masterfully designed images of [[rat]]s. | ||
