[Block Box]

in west dwarfvania born and raised
in the mines were i spent most of my days
chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
and shooting some trolls actin like fools
when a couple of blocks who were up to no good
started looking like trouble in the neighbour hood
i took one little glimpse and im all scared and said
" your're moving to the blockland forums in my lair"

TL;DR:
what are those red blocks
should i be scared

its my first time playing the game

probably just clay

if you're really paranoid use k and move over it.

hit b to build. w to select the workshop category and c to pick carpenter's workshop. place it somewhere and have your carpenter build it. when he does, use q and move over to it then use a to add tasks. b is for bed so you can just spam abababababab. build the beds by using b and then b again to select beds. put it somewhere then a dwarf will go build it. you can use the workshop thing for other workshops like a mason's workshop (which is also pretty important)

Not at all... You might be able to mod it to be dangerous, though...

how do I get rid of all of the stone and rubies and stuff adfasgfdg

[Jacob/Lee]

Set a garbage dump by placing an area set as a garbage dump with (i), then paint the space, then enter, then press (g). After that, designate stones with d-b-d to be dumped and your dwarves will toss them into the garbage dump, which can be a single 1x1 space and it can hold infinite amounts of stone.

might take a while to dump all of the useless stuff...
get a squad of garbage dwarves or just hide it.
