Please try to refrain from telling people to "lurk moar" when you disagree with them. It is the same as saying "Shut up." This is a wiki. And this game is not an open book. Given that your name is not "ToadyOne" you are not an expert on the inner workings of this game. You are experimenting and making hypothesis like everyone else. For instance, you seemed surprised to learn there is a "liquids" category in the stock screens, and assumed it would show "billion-gazillions" of units of water. If you had bothered to look, you would know exactly what it shows. I would think someone writing a well guide should know about the "liquids" stock category. Perhaps you need to lurk and experiment moar, missing a simple and important thing like that. (See? Doesn't feel so nice, does it?) [[User:GhostDwemer|GhostDwemer]] 20:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I've heard stories of this happening to other players, and it seems to result from corrupted raws leading to the creation of clothing made from " leather" (i.e. no creature name) which has a boiling point of 0, causing both migrants and caravans to be instantly frozen in a cloud of '''boiling leather''' the instant they enter the map. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 23:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

:By the way Kydo, I've been working on my own little geology chart (and learning a whole lot about RL geology along the way). Mine is probably in way rougher condition than yours since I've just started looking into this, although I will point out that I have found it's pretty useful to organize gems into rough families of related gems, especially since many of these relationships aren't immediately apparent (eg., aquamarine, goshenite, heliodor and morganite are all beryls, as are emeralds). I also think the wiki could present this topic with more clarity - give me a shout if you'd like to collaborate a bit.[[User:Nemokara|Nemokara]] 06:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I like it! It's definitely not something that's at an intro level, but if you don't mind, it should be more public - perhaps a new "advanced" sebsection at the bottom of the [[guide to rock]]?  Or a new parallel article, the "thinking dwarf's guide to rock"? (or something). In several areas, this wiki has been changed to one article with basic info or an overview, and another with absolutely related info, but at a higher level. (See [[armor]] vs [[armor piece]], the former being a technical discussion of the game mechanics, the latter being where [[helm]], [[greaves]] etc redirect.)

What would you suggest? As (I am guessing) you've seen, the entire wiki seems to be laid out more at an intro level, more for searching one narrowly defined topic than for quick comparison or overview.  I've been working on that, combining various stub articles, isolated topics and scattered info into unified pages ''(vein (and clusters), mayor/leader/etc, armor/armor piece, defense guide et al, dwarf weapon/other weapon, most recently thread/cloth and pearlash/potash, others)'' - I, too, found this wiki rather... hrmmm... convoluted in its overall presentation, a bit of a paper chase to actually find a complete answer to any broader question than "What is this one numerical value for this one facet of this specific item?" (and it still fails that regularly).  I still think the generic animals should be grouped into charts of similar animals rather than each their own page - a shark is a shark is a shark, after all - maybe that'll be next. Thoughts?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 17:32, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please try to refrain from telling people to "lurk moar" when you disagree with them. It is the same as saying "Shut up." This is a wiki. And this game is not an open book.
