-You need to tune yourself to the relevant marble under [[Rocks of the Ages]] at any School of Architecture for a cost of 10 [[slate]].  You need the correct [[Perception]] level (minimum 1) to get admitted to the class - see [[Granite and Marble]] for a list of Perception levels for various marbles. Temporary bonuses through food are fine, though you will still need the correct [[Perception]] level to do the actual prospecting, so have multiple portions handy.  Tuning to a marble doesn't wear off; you stay attuned until you change it manually (even after your food wears off).

	'''The call method''': Each worker is assigned a number, just as above; additionally, one worker is designated as the "caller". During lifting, the caller shouts out the list of directions ("WL NU SD ER") in the order that he sees them. The order given by the caller is the order in which the workers take their positions (quarrier 1 pulls Western-Left, 2 pulls Northern-Up, etc). (This can be slightly simplified by having the caller be the first or last position, and not calling out their own directions. For example "NU SD ER" if the caller took the first (WL) position.)

-The various types of [[Granite and Marble]] are extracted from the ground by means of '''quarrying'''.  A [[requires::Stone Quarry]] must be built atop a marble deposit.  Locating a deposit is known as prospecting, and it is a cooperative two-person effort.  Once built, operating it is also a cooperative effort, generally requiring four people (though this can be reduced to three, or even two, using [[Marble Mechanics]] upgrades).

-Marble is extracted one piece at a time.  Each piece must be successfully lifted 7 times before it is fully extracted. '''Working a quarry results in an END timer.'''
+*Marble is extracted one piece at a time.
 At every lift attempt, each quarry worker receives a list of four directions, randomly generated.  Directions have two components, one taken from each of these two lists:

 The direction list is randomized with each lifting attempt, whether the last attempt was a success or failure.
 Quarries break after a while.  It is possible that dropping a piece of marble may cause a quarry to break sooner, but this is unconfirmed. Reports range from 10 to 40 marble sheets before breaking. Remember that it’s quite easy to find more marble nearby and if you want a serious dig, set up several quarries beforehand.
