Just FYI, dwarves can now polish non-gemstone rocks into cabochons in the jewelers workshop. Even slate!--Auric 18:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Gem cuts

If I'm reading it correctly, raw/objects/entity_default.txt defines what cuts of gem a civ can produce:

	Dwarf	Human	Goblin	Elf / Kobold / Animal men
STONE_SHAPE:	OVAL_CABOCHON ROUND_CABOCHON CUSHION_CABOCHON RECTANGULAR_CABOCHON	OVAL_CABOCHON ROUND_CABOCHON CUSHION_CABOCHON RECTANGULAR_CABOCHON	RECTANGULAR_CABOCHON	OVAL_CABOCHON
GEM_SHAPE:	OVAL_CABOCHON ROUND_CABOCHON CUSHION_CABOCHON RECTANGULAR_CABOCHON POINT_CUT_GEM TABLE_CUT_GEM SINGLE_CUT_GEM ROSE_CUT_GEM BRIOLETTE_CUT_GEM EMERALD_CUT_GEM MARQUISE_CUT_GEM OVAL_CUT_GEM PEAR_CUT_GEM SQUARE_BRILLIANT_CUT_GEM RADIANT_CUT_GEM TRILLION_CUT_GEM ROUND_BRILLIANT_CUT_GEM BAGUETTE_CUT_GEM TAPERED_BAGUETTE_CUT_GEM CUSHION_CUT_GEM OCTAGON_CUT_GEM SQUARE_CUT_GEM	OVAL_CABOCHON ROUND_CABOCHON CUSHION_CABOCHON RECTANGULAR_CABOCHON POINT_CUT_GEM TABLE_CUT_GEM SINGLE_CUT_GEM ROSE_CUT_GEM BRIOLETTE_CUT_GEM	RECTANGULAR_CABOCHON POINT_CUT_GEM	OVAL_CABOCHON

Based on this, is the article incorrect in its assessment of how cuts are decided? It would seem "brilliant" is never used alone, and "rose" isn't on our list. I would like someone to check my findings before I edit the article, since I'm not that experienced with looking into the raws. Thanks. --timrem 01:09, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
