Stone crafter?

[Mario, Lawyer in Black]

Is there a profession like carpenter or smith that applies to stone or brick? I like stone the most aesthetically but many dwarfs ignore stone for something else that's qued up because they're so much better at whatever else, I imagine.

Yea it seems there is no crafting manual for stone. One of the oversights of the devs. Maybe it will be added when the 4th world comes out.

It has seemed odd that there was no Stone Mason skill.

i would like that too.

And stone-bridges in campaign-mode - instead of the useless black columns.

Are those poor dwarves supposed to constantly fall of the wooden bridges in campaign?

And yet a zombie can walk straight across and NEVER fall off of it. Makes no sense to me.

I think there are stone bridges.

[ReneMiner]

i have not found them. In which section would they be?

[ehyder]

Stone bridges are one of the items that does not show up in the crafting tree. However, if you craft them they do count to your goal. I cannot remember which category they are supposed to be in (basic or advanced stoneworking) but you can find them under the ladders/walls tab in the crafting menu.

FYI: another one that does not show up in the tree but counts towards one of the decorating categories is the flowerbed, which you can also find under the ladders/walls tab.

so stone-bridges crafteable as soon as having workshop in campaign then?

but does not help- for my feeling the ai (ignoring any tasks) is unplayable in campaign since one has to exit and re-enter the game at least all 5 minutes. In sandbox strangely it happens only after using siege-mode button or spell-horn while in campaign constantly. 7 dwarves stand around and one alone is running back and forward to collect the goblins loot for maybe 45 minutes...

dwarves ai-info is bugged (space-bar/green arrows at equip-menu not working correctly) so showing wrong - only first - dwarves health and wrong ai-state always. A digging dwarf is according to info "waiting for elevator" while another, currently sleeping is "attacking enemy" but no enemies to attack available - and the currently cooking one says "Idle"...

ai sucks, stone-bridges would be an item i'd understand to craft and i would happily use up all my stones for these - but 2 kinds of columns to craft - can't cross a lake on a column neither place a kitchen onto - 1 kind of columns would serve.

I want a version previous 0.9.037 and stick to sandbox-mode for now

I just unlocked stone bridge with the tech that allow the statues and column. (advanced stonework)

In campaign of course.

so tech tree different in frost-world ? (i never play that)

[ehyder]

No, it is the same. I believe the stone bridges do not show up in the tech trees on any of the worlds. But you can find the recipe in the crafting window/workshop. And I am pretty sure the recipe drops in Sandbox mode.

It has a couple more recipes such as an ice table, ice spikes and ice walls. I have seen the stone bridges in all worlds in campaign.

[ehyder]

Yes, I meant same in that the stone bridge shows up in all of them.

[ReneMiner]

i did not play that far- maybe 4 hours or so in campaign - i checked the tech-tree and did not find the icon for the stone-bridges in there.

Campaign seems to have much more glitches & issues than sandbox-mode:

Have to exit & re-enter very often (5 to 10 times per hour) to get the stuff going again- else all dwarves only stand around and tasks don't get done. In sandbox need to do this only once in a while - when i accidently used siege-mode when tasks were still undone or did not cancel horn-spell before battle finished.

So this more the reason why i don't play campaign-mode with this current version of the game: I tried, but compared to sandbox it's virtual unplayable.
