Here's a little patch to clean up some issues that sprang up (broken deconstruction speeds, broken work detail scrollbar.) I've also tried to adjust the new material-based dwarf dig speeds to be faster overall - there had to be give somewhere, so legendary miners now aren't as relatively speedy (they are still twice as fast as a novice.) Native metals were also taking way too long to mine. And the lack of drinks effect was coming on a little too strong too early in mining in a noticeable way. General updates Reduced erroneously long deconstruction speeds. Fixed broken scrollbar for work detail labor list. Changed relationship between mining speed, mining skill, and materials. Fixed broken mining speeds for native metals. Moderated lack of drink effect on work speed.
