::::I believe that layers are notable enough in DF to warrant their own articles. Understanding the geology of DF makes a huge difference in hunting for a start location, which many people complain is too hard [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 13:02, 21 November 2007 (EST) | ::::I believe that layers are notable enough in DF to warrant their own articles.

:::::Nice edit, but are separate pages for all of the layer justified? If they all were all covered by one article and there was a unified table listing all the minerals, gems and ores that are found in each layer, it would be alot easier to compare and understand their differences. Also, marble in my experience is not that much easier to find within the proximity of a magma vent, since igneous extrusive layers can occupy the slot for the metaphoric layer and even if there is a metamorphic layer it can be one of the other 5 types. It is very possible to find areas where a limestone, dolomite or chalk sedimentary layer biome borders a biome with a magma vent. Besides, the sedimentary layer would be more desirable, since it can contain magnetite and other iron ores, which the metaphoric layer lacks. Honestly, it's basically a choice between copper or a lot more iron. [[User:Noctis|Noctis]] 14:13, 21 November 2007 (EST) | :::::Nice edit, but are separate pages for all of the layer justified?
