'''Adamantine''' is by far the most rare and valuable [[metal]] in the game. It can only be found in small amounts in mountainous areas. Care should be taken if it is found, since digging down several levels through it will lead you to the [[demon]] pits. After you reach the [[Glowing pits|pits]], a horde of demons will eventually be loosed on your fortress. These demons are very powerful and can wipe out even a mature, heavily defended fortress.

Discovery of adamantine will also bring the attention of the [[King]], who will immigrate to your fortress once news of your discovery reaches him. If you have not otherwise met the criteria for attracting the King, he will arrive "disguised as a peasant." His requirements appears to be the same in any case, so be prepared!

== Location ==

To start in a location which has adamantine (and the accompanying demon pits), you must start on a mountain tile ({{Raw Tile|∆|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|∆|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#C0C0C0|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#00FFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#00FFFF|#000000}}) or volcano tile ({{Raw Tile|^|#FF0000|#000000}}) in the Region map. The adamantine and pits will be located somewhere within the Local map of that region. It is more likely to be found on a Local map square which also shows as mountain. The adamantine will occupy only one Local square, though the demon pits may extend beyond it. Finding it requires some usage of the Site Finder feature, some [[cheating]], or above-average good luck.

==Veining==
Curiously, adamantine veins tend to span z-levels more than the xy planes. Finding a short section of adamantine only 2x1 or 3x1, dig up or down a z-level and you'll probably find another short section.
So far I have four veins that run 3 z-levels down and along the y-axis before seeming to expand on the x-axis and three viens contained entirely on an xy plane.

== Processing ==

Adamantine strands are extracted from [[raw adamantine]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. The [[strand extraction]] labor must be enabled for a dwarf to perform the extraction. The process is extremely slow for an unskilled laborer. Adamantine strands are worth 1800☼ each, while the raw adamantine is worth 750.

Subsequent processing of the strands requires no adamantine-specific skills or labor permissions. Adamantine strands are processed into adamantine wafers at any [[smelter]]. Adamantine wafers are worth 1500☼ each - curiously, less than the strands they are smelted from. Adamantine wafers are treated much like [[bar]]s of other metal, and can be forged into a variety of useful items. Adamantine strands may also be woven into cloth using the Weave Metal Cloth task in a [[loom]]. Adamantine strands may be dyed, but if they are melted into wafers the they will return to their normal color and value.

Forging things out of adamantine usually requires three times more wafers than normal; for instance, plate mail normally requires three metal bars to forge; adamantine plate mail requires nine adamantine wafers. Bolts are an exception, requiring only one wafer for a stack of 25 adamantine bolts.

==Uses==
Adamantine is so valuable that a special message pops up when you discover a vein of it.

Raw adamantine may also be processed into [[stone]] goods in the same way as other economic stone. In its raw form, it has a [[Item value|value multiplier]] of x250 (as opposed to adamantine metal, which is x300). Raw adamantine blocks are worth 1250☼.

Adamantine items are incredibly light: they weigh about 2.5% as much as an equivalent article crafted from iron. [[Weapon]]s and [[armor]] made from adamantine are 5 times stronger than equivalent [[iron]] objects.

Adamantine is one of the few [[magma safe]] materials. As such, in rock form it can be used to create magma-proof mechanisms.

==Storage==
Raw Adamantine is stored in stone stockpiles with "Raw Adamantine" enabled in that stockpile's 'other stone' category. However once strands are extracted, they are stored in a cloth pile. If you want to segregate adamantine from plant fiber and silk cloth, adjust the additional options of a adamantine cloth stockpile to allow non-plant/animal products, and all other cloth stock piles to forbid them. Wafers are stored in bar/block piles with adamantine enabled. All other goods can be stored in any stockpile with the adamantine metal enabled.

'''Adamantine''' is by far the most rare and valuable [[metal]] in the game. It can only be found in small amounts in mountainous areas. Care should be taken if it is found, since digging down several levels through it will lead you to the [[demon]] pits. After you reach the [[Glowing pits|pits]], a horde of demons will eventually be loosed on your fortress. These demons are very powerful and can wipe out even a mature, heavily defended fortress.

Discovery of adamantine will also bring the attention of the [[King]], who will immigrate to your fortress once news of your discovery reaches him. If you have not otherwise met the criteria for attracting the King, he will arrive "disguised as a peasant." His requirements appears to be the same in any case, so be prepared!

== Location ==

To start in a location which has adamantine (and the accompanying demon pits), you must start on a mountain tile ({{Raw Tile|∆|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|∆|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#C0C0C0|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#00FFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#00FFFF|#000000}}) or volcano tile ({{Raw Tile|^|#FF0000|#000000}}) in the Region map. The adamantine and pits will be located somewhere within the Local map of that region. It is more likely to be found on a Local map square which also shows as mountain. The adamantine will occupy only one Local square, though the demon pits may extend beyond it. Finding it can be very difficult without [[cheating]].

==Veining==
Curiously, adamantine veins tend to span z-levels more than the xy planes. Finding a short section of adamantine only 2x1 or 3x1, dig up or down a z-level and you'll probably find another short section.
So far I have four veins that run 3 z-levels down and along the y-axis before seeming to expand on the x-axis and three viens contained entirely on an xy plane. [http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-2837-addyveinstotallyz-spanning:Link to DFMA Point of Interest] and [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-290-z-leveladamantinevein:Link to Movie]

== Processing ==

Adamantine strands are extracted from [[raw adamantine]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. The [[strand extraction]] labor must be enabled for a dwarf to perform the extraction. Adamantine strands are worth 1800☼ each, while the raw adamantine is worth 750.

Subsequent processing of the strands requires no adamantine-specific skills or labor permissions. Adamantine strands are processed into adamantine wafers at any [[smelter]]. Adamantine wafers are worth 1500☼ each - curiously, less than the strands they are smelted from. Adamantine wafers are treated much like [[bar]]s of other metal, and can be forged into a variety of useful items, though unlike with other metals, no fuel is required to do so. Adamantine strands may also be woven into cloth using the Weave Metal Cloth task in a [[loom]].

Forging things out of adamantine requires three times more wafers than normal; for instance, plate mail normally requires three metal bars to forge; adamantine plate mail requires nine adamantine wafers.

Raw adamantine may also be processed into [[stone]] goods in the same way as other economic stone. In its raw form, it has a [[Item value|value multiplier]] of x250 (as opposed to adamantine metal, which is x300). Raw adamantine blocks are worth 1250☼.

Adamantine items are incredibly light: they weigh about 2.5% as much as an equivalent article crafted from iron.

Adamantine is so valuable that a special message pops up when you discover a vein of it.

[[Image:000006 - Praise the miners!.png||500px]]

==Storage==
Raw Adamantine store is stone stockpiles with it enabled in the the 'other stone' category. However once strands are extracted, they are stored in a cloth pile. If you want to segregate adamantine from plant fiber and silk cloth, adjust the additional options of a adamantine cloth stockpile to allow non-plant/animal products, and all other cloth stock piles to forbid them. Wafers are stored in bar/block piles with adamantine enabled. All other goods can be stored in any stockpile with the adamantine metal enabled.

''Graphics sets'' are a type of [[Tilesets|tileset]] for use with Graphics Mode, which allows the game to display different tiles for creatures. Only creature tiles are supported so far. The [[tilesets]] page has detailed instructions on how to use these.

|comments=10/12/07: Okay, so I've definitely been slacking off here. But I'm vaguely annoyed at myself for constantly failing to update this so, what the hell, here's what I've done so far. It is by no means comprehensive. Most of the new dwarf jobs are in, with a few exceptions (blacksmith [uses metalsmith], clothier [uses weaver] several farmer, mechanic and mason jobs [use the base tile for that "class"], and the architect [the trade minister or something, I think]). The military also got an overhaul. Still a lot of work to do, and I'm not happy with a bunch of the stuff did make it in. Also, I'm not updating the easy pack until I get a proper handle on this and get most of it done.

==== Quick Fix for DR ====

This is just an edited version of the graphics_example.txt that I whipped up. It adds most, if not all, of the new jobs. I didn't bother taking out the non-existant ones. This is not sanctioned by, produced by, or made by DR. It is made by me (schm0) and does nothing but allow you to use the current DR tileset and not have those annoying solid-colored dwarves running around your forts. You can use it and edit it for your own tileset, if you like. (Let me know if there's any errors. I seperated the job types so you can see where I thought the new ones should end up. There are a ton of new farming jobs.)

As you can see, I'm drawing over DR's great set, so props that way. Since I'm using a 14x16 size (actually 28x16 since it must be divisible by 4) I'm including a custom font file in the zip file. It's also about halfway done.

# Download the zip file
# Extract to you Dwarf Fortress folder (eg. C:\Games\Dwarf\ )
# In \data\init\ copy the GRAPHICS section from init_dqset.txt and replace it in init.txt

I'll keep the latest version and in-game screenshots and stuff here:

First, change it to .bmp instead of .png.

Then put it in your \raw\graphics\example folder.

Sadly to use it in the current version you will have to edit the the raw files yourself since they are all new. I am far too busy playing it.

29/10/07: Updated Easy Pack for new version. Tiles for new creatures to come eventually.

14/08/07: The last version uh... well... I'd got it modded so that humans had fortresses instead of dwarves and left it in when I uploaded by mistake. This update fixes that. Probably makes something else go horribly wrong though. I don't know.

A lot of these tiles simply will not work because Toady didn't add the code to display certain creatures and creature types. If you think you have seen one that should work either change the code in the link or email me.
No More to come Until the next release.
