- Blocks to Bouldersby ebI HIGHLY recommend using the magnifying glass option when queuing this reaction to avoid unintended side effects like your dwarves using a block of native gold to make siltstone because it was the closest block.

- Soap Blocksby The ScrunglerPLEASE NOTE: Blocks made from soap cannot be stored in stockpiles.
