should it say statues are furniture, rather than finished goods on the wiki?

i've been encrusting my finished goods, instead of the stockpile of platinum statues right next to the jewellers workshop :/  --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 13:25, 6 March 2009 (EST)

Once a statue has been placed as a building, you can no longer see its quality.  Does the quality cease to matter at that point, or do you have to track such things manually? -[[User:Greycat|Greycat]] 02:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 
:Use the "t" menu. It lets you see the statue your statue is constructed out of. Makes zero sense, but it is true. --[[User:Zchris13|Zchris13]] 04:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 
 
Maybe it should be mentioned that statues made out of gem can only be made by a fey dwarf. [[User:Voenix|Voenix]] 18:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 
 
==In relation to [[thoughts]]==
 
Is there something concrete which defines whether or not a statue is "tastefully arranged" for the purposes of providing happy thoughts? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:35, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 
:Hmmmm - good question.  Do we ever see "admired a masterful statue"?  If not, then I'd guess(?) that this is the equivalent of that, as with most any other furniture, getting a good thought from the quality rather than actual "placement".  Esp since "furniture hauling" is hardly something that produce quality (as far as we know!) --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 17:50, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 
::To answer my own question, it seems that anything within a sculpture garden counts as tastefully arranged - I have a statue garden defined near my main control room, and lots of my dwarves have "admired a completely sublime tastefully arranged Trap lately", and in my previous fort, my duke consort often admired tastefully arranged armor stands and cabinets when I assigned him a personal sculpture garden from a statue I placed in his room. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 
 
== Do statues impede other creatures movements/Munitions? ==
 
 
Just wondering about this, since it isn't mentioned in the article. Statues don't 'deface' engravings they were put on, so I was wondering if one could substitute these as fortifications, and appease an engraver. I'd test it myself, but I'm sure someone on here knows.
 
*They definitely block movement, though it's highly unlikely that they block projectiles. I'm guessing they behave the same as grates and vertical bars. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 
 
== Unknown artisan ==
 
 
When the first trading caravan came to town, my most valuable item was worth something like 120* ... except for this 3000* iron statue "made by an unknown artisan" according to its description.  The forge had just barely been made and there wasn't enough extra iron on hand for it to have been made.  This particular fortress had been very prone to unexpected crashes at the start, especially when I used "k" to look around near the chasm, but I failed to track down what was causing the problem.  Is the statue the manifestation of a bug or something fun?

:Said statue was the remains of an [[iron man]]. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 02:10, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
