v0.31:Sedimentary layer
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Sedimentary stone layers contain Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L.
Template:L*, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L*, Template:L*, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L and Template:L layers are sedimentary.
- (* These also function as Template:L.)
Sedimentary layers are, on average, the most economically valuable of the four Template:L. They are your only source of Template:L and Template:L, vital for fueling non-Template:L forges and for the Template:L Template:L-making requires (especially if you lack Template:Ls). They are much richer in Template:L Template:Ls than other rock formations. Several sedimentary rocks - Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L - are Template:Les, required for Template:L-making and also being twice as valuable as normal stone, making them useful for Template:L or Template:L.
Sedimentary layers can be tricky to locate. If you are starting off and you want access to an embark area with sedimentary layers, use the "Find Desirable Location" function before embark and set your parameters to include sites with flux stone. Since most flux stones are found in sedimentary layers, this will increase your chances that a suitable site will have sedimentary rock near the surface. Be careful when using the "Find Desirable Location" function as it will sometimes list green sites that have flux stone but it will not indicate that it does, actually, have flux stone.
(In real world geology, sedimentary Template:L is formed by sediment. The sediment collects in constantly growing heaps and the pressure at the bottom eventually forms the sediment into stone.)
