Value of the Fortress questions

[[82AD] Ghota]

Hello i would like to ask if I use stone blocks for flooring would that increase the value of my fortress. Would this cause more migrants to come in and/or alternatively have more stronger enemies attack me?

In the old version floors counted towards the value yes.

That being said stone isn't that valuable, metal floors would be better.

If you want to use stone for this it is probably better to just make a ton of statues and line them up somewhere. Or set some workshops to produce permanent stone crafts.

not much, because stone is cheap, but you can engrave constructed floor and it will add decent amount to value, and yes it will attract migrants and enemies, proportional to your value boost

Thank you for the answer. I am fairly new to this and once i get more than 40 dwarves things start to get out of control

Wealth is a factor in Rimworld, where your base value what makes attacks powerful.

In DF your population, whether you have artifacts (divine items you find or special objects created in moods), how many masterpieces (max quality regular items), relations to your country, and exported wealth are also factors.

You can try to keep your "wealth" low but that is only 1 reason why someone might attack you. For some people like Goblins, they do not care what you have. Goblins want you dead, or gelded and in their mines.

Stone blocks are ALWAYS a good idea because if you need to build something out of stone, they do not walk slower and you get more built with less stone.

Wood blocks are the same, logs are wasteful and slow.

actually, sometimes they do care, its rare case as for me, but goblins may ask your mayor to give them one of your artifact or they will take it by themselves

Goblins come even without artifacts. They will attack just to attack, and sometimes an artifact is just an excuse.
