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)

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)
