Hello!
We're continuing to work through the last fortress management menus. Here I'll go through an example of the job details menu.

Depending on the kind of job, you can set further details about it. Clothing can be sized for creatures other than dwarves, decorations can be specified, and many items can be made using particular materials. This rock statue job can have the stone specified and you can even set the image the artisan depicts.

I'll pick marble here from the list of materials. Materials that are available are listed on the top, but you can also set the job to use materials you're planning to have available later.

I want a statue of a platypus thinking about stuff, and I can set that up here. You don't need to fully specify the image. If you want the artist to make an image of their choice concerning a historical figure or site, you can do that too. You can also tell them to recreate the symbol of your civilization or group, or go with the default and let them do whatever they want.

We name the image using the dwarven language. There's only one grammatical form currently, but it's enough for us to specify a variety of names.

Finally we can pick a spot for the statue and admire it!
