Was this named after the Pokemon? --AlexFili 04:27, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
- heh. Twas named after the mineral. --Savok 08:59, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
I'm curious why the bit about other ores in sheets was removed, rather than moved to the real world section? It is slightly tangential, but I think it's still basically on point. It also is more accurate, since the statement about magnetite being the only processable ore in large sheets, while correct with respect to an unmodified game, is somewhat misleading. This wiki has plenty of interesting but tangential facts like this, and I think it's the better for them. --Oddrune 04:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- Not sure what bauxite has to do with magnetite, nor what sylvite or potassium have to do with DF. The policy of the wiki is not to address modifications, since those are literally infinite in possibility. (Every page would have a section stating "Oh, btw - anything else is also possible...") In vanilla DF, this statement on magnetite sums it up. Anyone reading the articles on mods knows that anything is possible beyond that.--Albedo 06:49, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- You're not sure what bauxite has to do with magnetite? The article mentions magnetite as being an ore that exists in sheets. Bauxite is an ore. It exists in sheets. Sylvite is an ore. It exists in sheets. It's pertinent even in the un-modified game in the real-world geology section. It clarifies the statement about magnetite being the only ore to exists in sheets. Magnetite is the only PROCESSABLE ore to exist in sheets (bauxite and sylvite being examples of UNPROCESSABLE ores that exist in sheets). I think you're wrong on this, Albedo. --Oddrune 02:44, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
