... And the use of this page, then, is..? --Eagle of Fire 01:59, 21 November 2007 (EST)
Well, DF distinguishes between metamorphic, sedimentary, igneous extrusive and igneous intrusive layers. Those are the white(metamorphic, sedimentary), black and gray stone types in the lower right corner of the starting menu. These layers have their own unique set of available minerals, ores and gems. This page just lists the properties of the metamorphic layer. If you exclude marble(being a flux), then the metamorphic rocks are the most unimportant ones. Maybe we should make a unified page for all the layers? Noctis 08:52, 21 November 2007 (EST)
I believe that layers are notable enough in DF to warrant their own articles. Understanding the geology of DF makes a huge difference in hunting for a start location, which many people complain is too hard VengefulDonut 13:02, 21 November 2007 (EST)
