::::::The article says [[biome]], not proximity - this is correct. If you want to look for bordering biomes to get a sed. layer with your magma, go for it (this is what I do, too). But looking for a biome with both marble -and- magma is an alternative I've seen advised both on IRC and the forums. Even though our way is better, theirs still warrants mention. While you certianly could write an article about every layer (I encourage you to do this if you are so inclined), the resulting size would warrant a page split once all the information is included. This degree is separation is also precedented my several things with a lot of common information; like workshops and machinery. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 14:32, 21 November 2007 (EST)

:::::::Still, I don't understand the use of all this stuff. I don't have a degree in whatever it's called in english, and I really don't understand how it would help me play DF. I guess all what I'm asking is to have some short and concise information on practical use of all those informations. Otherwise, if those pages are simply informational... Why don't we just make a redirect to a RL wiki page explaining all the stuff, just like in the first reply of this page? --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 16:36, 21 November 2007 (EST)

::::::::DF uses this stuff to determine the location of gems and minerals in game. They may also be related to important information we aren't aware of yet - toady tends to add these kinds of surprises. What we do know is that DF is simulating real life geology to some extent.
