Step 1:
Create your easy 6x6 Magic eraser. If you don�t know how to do this you can find out Here

Step 2:
Fill the 6x6 area with Boulders. It doesnt have to be exact.

Step 3:
Place a Stone Quarry within the 6x6 area. If you aren't happy with where the little stockpile appears cover the the area with Boulders, the stockpile will move to the areas that aren't covered.

Step 4:

Delete the wooden Gatehouses.

Now when you place a keep workers will begin labour and you wont see that annoying Quarry. Its looks great around damaged buildings, and can give the impression of a construction site. Place as many as you need.

Have fun

do you still need workers for the quarry itself?

Hey everyone, I would really appreciate a review for my SH1 invasion map, Iron Mountains

"NO." Lol, that's just what I had found out, too

MoP: Yes, the stone masons enter the hidden wooden part of quarry.

hows your map coming along?

This is a great trick, i remember we were planning to use it for our Volcano map as well.
Not sure why it has taken so long for a tutorial but i'm happy it is out

thanks Alexus, i've added it to the "list of tutorials".

The credits are very well worth in good hands with you. It is an application of your genious 6x6 magic eraser trick.

The map, "Ellwangen" in is its beginnings only. I'll do lots of basic testing first to know things actively before I implement them in the main concept. Custom quarries will play a crucial and functional role.

So the invisible quarries keep producing stone? Amazing.

Hey. I wonder if the invisible workers get influenced by fear factor?

Kind of related to this, has anyone noticed that in one of the crusader trail missions (you are stuck between 2 lionhearts) that free stone appears in your stockpile sometimes when you play the game?

Made a test: 2 times 2 custom quarries belonging to different players' villages. One faction had -5 fear factor.
---> No difference in the productivity of the custom quarries !!

---------------
Dump, that feature is not teleportation from existing quarries?

Excellent work. I used this with pitch riggers for the Heligoland Bight.

This is pasted from that post :

(note �built in� Pitch riggers!!!)

It does not work with Iron miners I have found as the workers tend to freeze at the mine.

Nice Tutorial my friends.

Oh my good man, You have reminded me of something! Years ago I made a stone teleporter. Although I haven't used it in a map. I still have the .save file!
