− | + | '''Stone''' or '''rock''' is a naturally occuring solid aggregate of minerals. It sometimes [[stone management|leaves behind]] material after being mined or [[cave in|collapsing]]. Other types of [[Mining|minable]] tiles include [[soil]] and [[sand]]. | |
− | |||

+ | Stone is divided into three key categories: | ||
+ | * [[Metal ore]]: stone that produces [[metal]] [[bar]]s when [[Smelter|smelted]] | ||
+ | * [[Gem|Rough gem]]s | ||
+ | * [[Economic stone]]: [[coal]] and stone that is used as a [[flux]], or has other desirable features | ||
+ | * Other stone: stone that is only used for items and structures and has no special features other than color | ||
− | + | == Layers == | |
+ | There are four types of stone layers. The type of layer is the primary indicator of what kind of [[ore]] you will find on the map, as well as a sign of [[volcano|volcanic]] activity. | ||
+ | The types are [[sedimentary layer]]s, [[igneous intrusive layer]]s, [[igneous extrusive layer]]s, and [[metamorphic layer]]s. | ||
+ | You will also find layers of [[soil]], but these rarely contain much ore. | ||
− | + | The primary types of rocks only occur in their own layers. You won't find [[limestone]] in a [[marble]] layer. | |

− | + | Stone found on this table will occur inside their respective stone layers. When your miners encounter one of them, the game will pause and you will recieve an announcement; even for the ones that have no use other than to build constructions of unusual colors. | |
− | Non-layer stone | + | Non-layer stone occurs in these forms: |
− | + | * Large cluster - An oval that occupies nearly half of a 48x48 block, area-wise. Only one appears per block | |
+ | * Vein - A sinuous line of the material crosses the block | ||
+ | * Small cluster - A sprinkle of 5 to 10 adjacent tiles. Multiple small clusters of different materials may be in the same block | ||

− | + | The geology and stone of Dwarf Fortress is based on real-world geology and mineralogy. To understand the terms used here, you may want to crack open a geology textbook. If you don't happen to have one close by, the Wikipedia articles for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology geology], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralogy mineralogy], or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_layers terms in question] might help. | |
