:::::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?

::::::The article says [[biome]], not proximity - this is correct. If you want to look for bordering biomes to get a sed. layer with your magma, go for it (this is what I do, too). But looking for a biome with both marble -and- magma is an alternative I've seen advised both on IRC and the forums. Even though our way is better, theirs still warrants mention. While you certianly could write an article about every layer (I encourage you to do this if you are so inclined), the resulting size would warrant a page split once all the information is included. This degree is separation is also precedented my several things with a lot of common information; like workshops and machinery.
