This article is about an older version of DF.

Several minerals, ores, and gems are specified to occur at least in part within alluvial layers. Alluvial stone is loose and unconsolidated stone that has been eroded away, smoothed down by water flow, and then redeposited in a non-marine setting. In versions 0.31.19 and later, all sedimentary layers are capable of containing alluvial deposits; prior to that, alluvial deposits do not appear at all.

Whether or not a particular stone, gem, or ore appears in the alluvial layer is controlled by the [ENVIRONMENT:ALLUVIAL:...] tag in its raw files. Alluvial environments can contain clusters of:
