40d:Metamorphic layer

2008-11-15T16:03:21Z

Boksi:

Metamorphic [[rock]] is formed by an already-existing rock type being turned into another type while remaining solid all the way through, a process called metamorphism.

'''Metamorphic layers''' are often avoided since they are the type with the lowest variety of metal [[ore]]s. However, they are richer in [[gem]]s than any other type. Unlike [[sedimentary layer]]s, metamorphic rock can be found in the same [[biome]] as [[igneous extrusive layer]]s. As [[igneous extrusive layer]]s are almost always present in areas of [[volcano|volcanic activity]], this makes [[marble]] the easiest [[flux]] to find on the same map as a [[magma vent]].

40d:Sedimentary layer

2008-11-15T16:00:37Z

Boksi:

Sedimentary [[stone]] is formed by sediment. The sediment collects in constantly growing heaps and the pressure at the bottom eventually forms the sediment into stone.

'''Sedimentary stone layers''' contain [[hematite]], [[limonite]], [[magnetite]], [[tetrahedrite]],
[[bituminous coal]], and [[lignite]].

[[Sandstone]], [[siltstone]], [[mudstone]], [[shale]], [[claystone]], [[rock salt]], [[limestone]], [[conglomerate]], [[dolomite]], [[flint]], [[chert]], and [[chalk]] layers are sedimentary.

The name of a sedimentary layer appears in a lighter shade on the embark menu.

Sedimentary layers are, on average, the most economically valuable of the five mineral layers. They are your only source of [[bituminous coal]] and [[lignite]], vital for fueling non-[[magma]] forges and for the [[coke]] [[steel]]-making requires (especially if you lack [[tree]]s). Even if magma is present, only sedimentary layers contain [[bauxite]], the only rock and [[mechanism]] (other than [[Raw_adamantine|Hidden Fun Stuff]]) which can withstand the heat of magma. They are much richer in [[iron]] [[ores]] than other rock formations. Several sedimentary rocks - [[dolomite]], [[chalk]], and [[limestone]] - are [[flux]]es, required to make steel and also of double value when turned into [[crafts|trade goods]] or [[furniture]].

40d:Igneous intrusive layer

2008-11-15T15:56:23Z

Boksi: Just adding a little information on stone formation here and there.

Igneous intrusive [[stone]] is formed by lava solidification occurring below the surface, as opposed to [[Igneous extrusive layer|igneous extrusive]] stone which forms above the surface of the earth.

Igneous intrusive stone layers may be made of [[granite]], [[diorite]], or [[gabbro]], all of which typically contain [[gold]] and [[tetrahedrite]].

Gabbro can also contain [[garnierite]], the ore of [[nickel]], [[kimberlite]], which may contain [[diamond]]s, and olivine, which may contain [[native platinum]]. Granite can contain [[cassiterite]], the ore of [[tin]], [[bismuthinite]], the ore of [[bismuth]], and [[galena]], the ore of lead. Galena will also give you a silver bar 50% of the time.

40d:Igneous extrusive layer

2008-11-15T15:54:34Z

Boksi:

Igneous extrusive [[stone]] is formed by lava solidification on the surface, as opposed to [[Igneous intrusive layer|igneous intrusive]] stone which forms ''below'' the surface.

Igneous extrusive stone layers usually include [[Hematite]], [[Gold]], [[Copper]], [[Tetrahedrite]], and [[Native Aluminum]].

[[Andesite]], [[Basalt]], [[Felsite]], [[Obsidian]], and [[Rhyolite]] layers are igneous extrusive.

Their name appears in a darker shade on the embark menu. They also indicate a good chance of [[magma]] being present in some form or another.
