Limestone & 'coals'
Limestone is sedimentary rock, so there should be lignite/bituminous coal, but...
I have explored like 2/3 of the hill my fortress is dug in, yet no coal.
Limestone doesn't have coal or I just have terrible luck there?

You have terrible luck. It can happen with any sedimentary that there is no bit. coal, no lign. or none of both on the whole map. Unfortunately coal is not that terribly common anywhere. I also have the impression that more coal can be found in the upper than in the lower levels, opposite to ore and valuable gems, so try digging in the upper more? If you do a 20 by 20 digging grid you should find all veins. --Birthright 23:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

- Me again. I believe the Wiki, but... I've found 3 patches of magnetite, 6 patches of bauxite, 11 veins of malachite, even goddamn calcite, and NO bit.coal/lignite. Please just cheer me up and say I have bad luck :P --Haspen 21:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
