Igneous extrusive layer
v50.14 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
Igneous extrusive stone layers are formed from andesite, basalt, dacite, obsidian, and rhyolite. Of these five, andesite, dacite, and rhyolite are functionally identical, different only in appearance and name, basalt is like the other three except that it is magma-safe, and obsidian is... unique.

In Real Life[edit]
In real-world geology, Igneous extrusive stone is formed by lava solidifying above the surface, open to the air. This is the main point of difference from igneous intrusive stone, which solidifies below the surface. This distinction is kept in Dwarf Fortress geology, with extrusive being the top layer around volcanoes and never the bottom-most layer, while intrusive is always the bottom layer and never the top.
