− | It is common to find certain gemstones embedded only in certain veins or large clusters. For instance, to find rubies and sapphires, explore [[bauxite]] clusters; for [[diamond]]s, one should follow any [[kimberlite]] veins they find, which in turn are found only in [[gabbro]] [[layer]]s. | + | It is common to find certain gemstones embedded only in certain veins or large clusters. For instance, to find rubies and sapphires, explore [[bauxite]] clusters; for [[diamond]]s, one should follow any [[kimberlite]] veins they find, which in turn are found only in [[gabbro]] [[layer]]s. Knowing what stone (or ore) contains what veins and clusters can be useful in [[exploratory mining]] or understanding the information given to you before you embark on a new game, and complete information for each can be found on the wiki page for that stone/ore/gem. |
[[Raw adamantine]] is neither a typical stone nor metal ore, and veins of raw adamantine do not follow any of the normal patterns. They tend to be narrower, more spidery, and in fact are the only veins to (predictably) connect across z-levels, up and down within that 48x48 area block. | [[Raw adamantine]] is neither a typical stone nor metal ore, and veins of raw adamantine do not follow any of the normal patterns.
