Interesting color to help the newbies for things that have no other use.--Zchris13 01:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Color Column
I think breaking out the color into a separate column (perhaps featuring a block of the actual color) would be very useful. Thoughts? --Aristoi 17:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- That would be kinda awesome. Any chance someone could could do a breakdown of "How to find"? I've had 12 different embark sites, and I can't for the life of me find one with bauxite... Decius 17:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Bauxite has a chance of being in any Sedimentary layer.--Mrdudeguy 19:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- Re "How to Find" - that would be a diff article, but maybe another we need. This is NOT intended as a guide to everything about the rocks! This is uses for rock - for newbies - so KISS is the rule. Important associations and significance when a new stone is discovered, not where to find them or why they are not so valuable. Other articles are expected to have "complete info", and newbies should get used to doing their own simple research if they are interested. Trying to include minor info will clutter this sort of presentation, which is fairly large as it stands. For now, click bauxite, read that page, look at the relationships, click those links - figure it out.--Albedo 22:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- This is also going to be irrelevant in later versions due to more rocks having realistic melting temperatures and therefore more magma safe.--Mrdudeguy 22:54, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't intend to ask for a complete guide, just enough that I could target my exploration efforts to where it could actually be. Is the standard way of finding things really "Exploratory mining throughout all areas of all biomes that could contain it"? (Or reveal.exe?) Even showing all features in the map, I don't know of a better way to find coal, much less adamantine. Decius 23:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
