=== Geology Chart ===
 +
 +
I'm building a personal-use chart using the various charts across DFWiki. It's basically a geology guide of ores, gems and stones, showing what forms they take, where, and how in regards to one another. Inspired by the discussion on whether Olivine should be given it's own page for it's relationship to Gabbro and Platinum. That particular discussion lead to a discussion of what is actually worth making a unique page on.
 +
 +
Personally, I do not feel that individual items require their own page unless it's necessary to write more than a paragraph about them. (Compare [[sword]] to [[instrument]] and you'll see what I mean.) I think there should be a unique geology page that talks about how the world generator arranges mining resources, while the stone page talks about stone, the gems page talks about gems and the ores page talks about ores. The three can link to each other, and all could be just sub-pages from the geology page. So while the geology page would only talk about relationships, the sub-pages would describe the materials themselves.
 +
 +
Since I'm in no position to be running around the wiki making enormous alterations out of the blue, I'll just make one for myself and leave it at that. Unless someone sees this and either yells at me or convinces me to try and take it farther.
 +
 +
So far, all I've done is gather up the disparate information from the Soil, Stone, Ore and Gem pages. Ideally, I should be able to put together one chart explaining their spacial relationships, without becoming psychotically elaborate or cluttered. That's Idealism. More realistically, I'll just end up re-designing the four charts to show the connections separately and have them linking to one another.

'''Soil''' is the name for the various kinds of ground that can be [[farming|planted]] on without [[irrigation]] using [[water]].  In DF, the category of "Soil" includes all types of sand, clay, ooze and any "non-stone" layer equally, even if you or I generally don't associate that substance with "growing plants".
 +
 +
When starting a new fortress, types and quantities of available soils are listed at the bottom right of the fortress location selection screen. In contrast to [[rock]] types, soil type names appear in brown, and are usually closest to the top of the list, and thus, closest to the surface of the ground. <!-- belongs in fortress-starting article -->
 +
 +
Note, however, that you may only [[farming|plant]] cave [[plant|flora]] if the tile is marked "[[Subterranean]]." To check this, go to the tile in {{k|k}} mode. <!-- belongs in a farming article -->
 +
 +
Digging into soil does not generate any byproduct materials, unlike digging in [[rock]], and also is a much faster process which makes it much easier to create storerooms and other large areas of empty space, and to train [[miner]]s.
 +
 +
Soil cannot be [[smooth]]ed, so it can be difficult to make high value rooms, or pierce [[aquifer]]s.  Also, since soil cannot be [[smooth]]ed, soil cannot be used to make [[fortification]]s.
 +
 +
The only minerals that can be found native to soil are [[gold nuggets|gold]], [[cassiterite]], and [[platinum nuggets|platinum]].  However, in unusual cases, it's always possible that a vein from a nearby stone layer could extend into the edge of a soil layer.
 +
 +
:''* - Any soil listed in the upper part of the table does '''not''' count as [[sand]] for [[glass]]making, even if its name includes the word "sand."

Stones found on this table will occur as pockets and veins inside their respective stone layers (see above). When your miners newly encounter one of them, the game will pause and you will receive an announcement; even for the ones that have no use other than to build constructions of unusual colors. Note that the veins or clusters can spread into other layers, and may cause some layers to contain stones they usually wouldn't. Non-layer stone formations occur in one of three shapes: large clusters, veins, and small clusters. ''(See [[Vein|Veins & Clusters]] for full info.)''

'''Ores''' are a type of [[stone]] that can be used to create [[metal]] bars and [[alloy]] bars at the [[smelter]].
 +
 +
Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always create the first metal when [[smelting]], but have a chance of creating the second metal as well. Different rules apply to creating alloys.
 +
 +
Note that in some cases ore [[value#material value|value]] (given below) and [[metal]] value are not the same (Adamantine, Bismuth, Iron ores). Alloys, too, often have a higher value than the ores/metals they are made of. In most cases furniture made from the ore is as valuable as furniture made from a pure (non-alloy) metal, while requiring one-third the raw materials and significantly less processing.
 +
 +
All ores are [[fire-safe]] material.

Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found strewn throughout the [[mountain]]. '''Cut gems''' can be used to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], [[weapon]]s, [[armor]] and [[ammunition]], to create [[window]]s and as a source material for [[legendary artifact|legendary artifacts]].  In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Large gems''' are a byproduct of cutting and can not be processed further. They have a high base value for an item(10x) and can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem. Artifact large gems made from precious jewels will go for around 50,000.
 +
 +
Gems have base [[item values|value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See [[Gem cutting]] and [[Gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10.
 +
 +
Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].
 +
 +
Faint yellow diamonds only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which itself only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and sapphires and rubies only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. Star sapphires and rubies only occur within clusters of their peers.
 +
 +
Like working [[metal]], making glass requires [[fuel]], either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]] at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]].
 +
 +
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

Who I Am

I am Kydo, a DF player who enjoys this website a lot and is interested in helping. Mostly with grammatical corrections. (If you see any issues on my page, please point them out to me. Everyone makes mistakes. That's why I'm here.) My real name is Jeff. Not that it matters. In rl, I'm an artist with two years of college under his belt... And no money for the rest of the degree. I'm a gamer, I play D&D and dabble in tabletop RPG design, I play videogames excessively, and it all tends to get in the way of my art, really. This is probably just another diversion, I suppose. Oh. And I'm a guy. Let's make that clear.

Observations

Just a collection of things I've noticed. Read it or not, I don't care. Basically just stuff I want to add as little side-notes to other articles, but am too shy to actually do. I think I'll wait until I understand the editor a bit lot more.

Dead Wagons

Wagons of death

Okay, so this illustrates something a little off.

The wagon you start off with is stationary. All it can do is be deconstructed. It doesn't do THAT when you take the thing apart. You just get two pieces of wood.

The wagons traders use are obviously different. For one thing, they move, with two horse-like animals pulling them. (Sometimes they're camels, oxes, donkeys, etc.) They have a width of 3x3 tiles, and cannot pass over a great many objects in the environment. The Depot Accessibility Display shows only the places the center tile can pass over. So long as there's green, the wagon can get there.

The difference between trade wagons and the starting wagon becomes more apparent, in that upon entering the depot, they can be stacked two high, and seem to completely deconstruct themselves from existence.

In the trading article, it claims you can steal from a caravan without marking the objects as stolen, by deconstructing the depot with the traders inside. And it works! Very well! Someone noted that surrounding nations keep track of sent and returned wealth and will still probably invade. I'm tempted to note that dwarfs will never siege dwarfs, meaning you can HEAVILY exploit the trade caravan by deconstructing every time they show up, with NO repercussions... But it also causes the above glitchyness. The wagons, which at the time of depot deconstruction didn't even appear to exist, are now listed as dead, and still do not appear on the map.

When the caravan leaves, the wagons will reappear from the location they originally disappeared on, and wander off the field, leaving their goods behind, and for some reason, remaining in your units list as deceased creatures, despite already having watched them leave your map!

Reconstructing the depot, before or after they leave, even if it's in the same spot, will not "revive" them. Nor will it remove the "deceased" status.

Geology Chart

I'm building a personal-use chart using the various charts across DFWiki. It's basically a geology guide of ores, gems and stones, showing what forms they take, where, and how in regards to one another. Inspired by the discussion on whether Olivine should be given it's own page for it's relationship to Gabbro and Platinum. That particular discussion lead to a discussion of what is actually worth making a unique page on.

Personally, I do not feel that individual items require their own page unless it's necessary to write more than a paragraph about them. (Compare sword to instrument and you'll see what I mean.) I think there should be a unique geology page that talks about how the world generator arranges mining resources, while the stone page talks about stone, the gems page talks about gems and the ores page talks about ores. The three can link to each other, and all could be just sub-pages from the geology page. So while the geology page would only talk about relationships, the sub-pages would describe the materials themselves.

Since I'm in no position to be running around the wiki making enormous alterations out of the blue, I'll just make one for myself and leave it at that. Unless someone sees this and either yells at me or convinces me to try and take it farther.

So far, all I've done is gather up the disparate information from the Soil, Stone, Ore and Gem pages. Ideally, I should be able to put together one chart explaining their spacial relationships, without becoming psychotically elaborate or cluttered. That's Idealism. More realistically, I'll just end up re-designing the four charts to show the connections separately and have them linking to one another.

--- Soil is the name for the various kinds of ground that can be planted on without irrigation using water. In DF, the category of "Soil" includes all types of sand, clay, ooze and any "non-stone" layer equally, even if you or I generally don't associate that substance with "growing plants".

When starting a new fortress, types and quantities of available soils are listed at the bottom right of the fortress location selection screen. In contrast to rock types, soil type names appear in brown, and are usually closest to the top of the list, and thus, closest to the surface of the ground.

Note, however, that you may only plant cave flora if the tile is marked "Subterranean." To check this, go to the tile in k mode.

Digging into soil does not generate any byproduct materials, unlike digging in rock, and also is a much faster process which makes it much easier to create storerooms and other large areas of empty space, and to train miners.

Soil cannot be smoothed, so it can be difficult to make high value rooms, or pierce aquifers. Also, since soil cannot be smoothed, soil cannot be used to make fortifications.

The only minerals that can be found native to soil are gold, cassiterite, and platinum. However, in unusual cases, it's always possible that a vein from a nearby stone layer could extend into the edge of a soil layer.

* - Any soil listed in the upper part of the table does not count as sand for glassmaking, even if its name includes the word "sand."

These types of stone occur as entire layers, containing some veins and pockets of other minerals (see below). If one of the following types of stone is present on your map, it will be listed in one of the biomes on the embark screen.

Sedimentary Igneous intrusive Igneous extrusive Metamorphic

Stones found on this table will occur as pockets and veins inside their respective stone layers (see above). When your miners newly encounter one of them, the game will pause and you will receive an announcement; even for the ones that have no use other than to build constructions of unusual colors. Note that the veins or clusters can spread into other layers, and may cause some layers to contain stones they usually wouldn't. Non-layer stone formations occur in one of three shapes: large clusters, veins, and small clusters. (See Veins & Clusters for full info.)

Ores are a type of stone that can be used to create metal bars and alloy bars at the smelter.

Metal ores with two possible metals listed below always create the first metal when smelting, but have a chance of creating the second metal as well. Different rules apply to creating alloys.

Note that in some cases ore value (given below) and metal value are not the same (Adamantine, Bismuth, Iron ores). Alloys, too, often have a higher value than the ores/metals they are made of. In most cases furniture made from the ore is as valuable as furniture made from a pure (non-alloy) metal, while requiring one-third the raw materials and significantly less processing.

All ores are fire-safe material.

Small clusters of rough gems can be found strewn throughout the mountain. Cut gems can be used to encrust furniture, crafts, weapons, armor and ammunition, to create windows and as a source material for legendary artifacts. In addition, raw rock crystals are required to make crystal glass goods. Large gems are a byproduct of cutting and can not be processed further. They have a high base value for an item(10x) and can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem. Artifact large gems made from precious jewels will go for around 50,000.

Gems have base value of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a jeweler's workshop. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See Gem cutting and Gem setting. Large gems have a base value of 10.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can ignite if they come into contact with magma.

Faint yellow diamonds only appear in kimberlite (which itself only appears in gabbro layers) and sapphires and rubies only appear in bauxite (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. Star sapphires and rubies only occur within clusters of their peers.

Like working metal, making glass requires fuel, either coke or charcoal at a normal glass furnace, or magma at a magma glass furnace.

Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:
