(For layering armor, see Template:L)
There are four types of stone layers in Dwarf Fortress. Each has different types of Template:L and Template:L available. Layers are extremely important in site selection because it determines what Template:Ls there are to work with. Layers also help in determining where to begin Template:L depending on what is needed for the fortress.
Sedimentary
Often includes Template:L, Template:L Template:L, and all but one of the Template:L Template:L, all the components for making Template:L. Never found in the same Template:L as igneous extrusive. Full to the brim with valuable and useful deposits. Only place to find Template:L and Template:L, and Template:L Template:L in Template:L (Template:L). Good choice for Template:L.
Metamorphic
Contains a small variety of ores, but tends to be rich in gems. Includes Template:L, the only non-Template:L Template:L. If there are no Template:L Template:L layers, metamorphic layers can be useful in the early stages, but the lack of weapon quality Template:L (besides Template:L and Template:L) make it a poor choice for full scale Template:L in the early game.
Igneous extrusive
It is likely to include metal Template:L. It also indicates a good chance of Template:L being present in some form or another above the Template:L. Never found in the same Template:L as sedimentary. Igneous extrusive layers can contain Template:L of Template:L, an ore of Template:L.
Igneous intrusive
Like extrusive, also often contains Template:L, but farther down typically. Often contains gold or copper ore.
Other layers
Soil
When soil is present, it will always be the top layer or two, above any stone layers. Appears in brown on the embark menu. Useful for growing Template:L and storage, but provides no rock for building.
Aquifer
An aquifer is not a separate layer, but overlaps one or more layers of stone or soil. When viewing the layers on the embark menu, it is indicated by a line of blue tildes(~) next to the layer(s) involved. This layer of water-generating stone can be used as a water source, but also can be a potential barrier to all layers below it.
