− | ::: *shrug* More to the point, why is Mining a strange-moodable skill? Dwarves are weird and twisted little creatures. Engraving actually makes more sense to me because it could potentially become an artifact-capable skill with the current dev plans. Mining... who's going to pull together 2 feather tree logs, an uncut sapphire, a turtle shell, and titan bones to carve out a hunk of rock? However, while engraving has plans to add materials (The Toady One has teased us with text along the lines of "This is an engraving of a demon and a dwarf engaging in unnatural acts. The demon's eyes and the dwarf's blood shines with the red of inlaid ruby."), I could see it still not being included because part of artifacts is the idea that they can be moved to where they are most handy. I could just see an engraver deciding to carve his masterpiece on the wall of one of the Peasant Haulers. Cue in years of Nobles kvetching about the lower class having better rooms than them. Then again, that kind of sounds like fun... | + | ::: *shrug* More to the point, why is Mining a strange-moodable skill? Dwarves are weird and twisted little creatures.
